Hyundai Motorsport has taken a dramatic victory in #rally Italia #sardegna, the seventh round of the 2018 FIA World #rally Championship (WRC).
Hyundai Motorsport has taken a dramatic victory in #rally Italia #sardegna, the seventh round of the 2018 FIA World #rally Championship (WRC), as #thierryneuville and Nicolas Gilsoul stole a last gasp win with a sublime performance on the final morning.
The Belgian crew started the day with a 3.9-second deficit to leader M-Sport Ford’s Sébastien Ogier, but a perfect Sunday morning with four stage wins, including the Power Stage, allowed them to steadily catch and pass the Frenchman.
They took a memorable result by a mere 0.7-seconds after 313.46km of competitive Sardinian stages. In one of the closest finishes in #wrc history, it actually matches the same minuscule gap by which Neuville beat Elfyn Evans in the 2017 edition of #rally Argentina.
The result is #hyundai Motorsport’s third win of the 2018 season and tenth in its #wrc history. It marks the team’s second victory in #rally Italia #sardegna following Neuville’s triumph in 2016, and the fourth Sardinia event in succession where it has finished on the podium.
