WRC 2022: Vodafone Rally de Portugal

The WRC 2022 season continues with the Vodafone Rally de Portugal.

Although Elfyn Evans shows some promise in the warm-up, Thierry Neuville grabs an early lead in the opening speed test in the streets of Coimbra until the legendary Sebastien Loeb steals the lead. However, Loeb crashed out in Portugal, giving Evans the chance to take the lead, until Kalle Rovanpera takes over as the climax draws near.
