World Rally championship title contender Thierry Neuville will take a narrow Acropolis Rally lead over Toyota\u2019s Sebastien Ogier into Saturday after a hotly contested fight on the rough gravel stages.
ran as high as fourth before a late departure from a tyre fitting zone prompted a time penalty, dropping the 2019 world champion to eighth.
Ogier clocked the fastest time through the afternoon's first test, stage four, the second pass through Loutraki . Officials ultimately cancelled the stage for crowd safety reasons after eight of the nine remaining Rally1 cars completed the route. The loop's second stage featured damp patches, which again played to the advantage of Pirelli's soft tyres.
It appeared Neuville would claim a second stage win of the event to date before a fired-up Tanak lit up the timing screens. Benefitting from a better road position following his water pump delay, the Estonian was 5.9s faster than Neuville. Lappi managed to pilot his wounded Hyundai to the fourth fastest time ahead of team-mate Sordo and Katsuta.Photo by: Red Bull Content Pool
