WRC 2022: WRC Croatia Rally

The 2022 World Rally Championship continues in Zagreb for the Croatia Rally. Out with the cold, into the wet for the rally drivers.

The Friday stages saw a disastrous start for Esapekka Lappi while Adrien Fourmaux's hopes nosedived when his Ford Puma ended up in the front garden of someone's house. As Kalle Rovanpera managed to nail through the wet Friday stages, the Saturday stages saw Thierry Neuville get slapped with penalties while Rovanpera and Ott Tanak are in a heated clash that lasted until the end of the event.
