Hyundai Motorsport grabs 2 podium spots in Rally Sweden

Hyundai Motorsport grabs 2 podium spots in Rally Sweden

Date: 2023-03-06
Hyundai Motorsport has registered a double podium finish in Rally Sweden, the second round of the 2023 FIA World Rally Championship (WRC), following a competitive performance by all three its crews. The ?Gods of Speed? created a thrilling and entertaining event that went down to the wire with tantalisingly close battles and spectacular stages, in which the Hyundai i20 N Rally1 Hybrid thrived. At the end of the 18 stages, Craig Breen and James Fulton claimed their first podium finish with a second place, finishing ahead of their team-mates Thierry Neuville and Martijn Wydaeghe. The Belgians completed a sensational rally in third place, fighting back with determination from a tough opening day on which they were one of the first crews on the road. The result marks Neuville?s 50th WRC podium with Hyundai Motorsport in the team?s tenth championship season. Esapekka Lappi and Janne Ferm, who had been podium contenders earlier in the weekend, finished the event in seventh place. They made up ground after losing seven minutes stuck in a snowbank on Saturday afternoon, and ended the rally with a Power Stage victory. The 2023 WRC season moves to Mexico for the third round of the championship and the first to take place on gravel. Rally Mexico returns to the calendar for the first time since 2020, and will again be based at Le?n, north-west of Mexico City. Final results Rally Sweden:1st place O. T?nak and M.
