WRC 2018: Rally Sweden

The snowy battlefield of Sweden became the next stop for the 2018 World Rally Championship and because of the grueling icy stages the drivers are facing, it takes some skill and determination to master such extreme icy conditions while gunning for the fastest overall time of the race.


In the first stage of the race, Toyota nabbed a 1-2 finish with Ott Tanak dominating the first two stages. However, in Stage 3, it was Hyundai's turn to nab the 1-2 finish with Thierry Neuville overtaking Tanak in the results and as stages get even trickier for the drivers due to the extreme icy conditions, despite gearbox issues on the ninth stage, Neuville still standing strong and goes all the way for winning their first race of the WRC season for the South Korean car maker with the overall time of, 2:52:13.1, 19.8 ahead of the #11 Citroen driven by Craig Breen.
