This Friday will therefore have been particularly cursed for Thierry Neuville. Late yesterday evening, our compatriot was summoned before the stewards following several speeding violations observed in connection between the fourth special and the service park.
After hearing our compatriot, the officials decided to impose a triple penalty on him with a one-minute penalty sending him back to 4th place at 2.04 behind leader Kalle Rovanpera, a fine of 1900 euros and two days of community service to be completed before the end of the season.
Rally Croatia restarts this morning. The Hyundai driver’s objective: to get back on the podium following having suffered a 1’40 penalty in a single day.
