Rally Tour de Corse 2019 - Weekend Highlights
The strong performance of the Toyota Yaris WRC on the Tour de Corse concluded with a one-two finish on the rally-ending Power Stage for Kris Meeke and Ott Tänak. All three of the team's cars finished inside of the top 10 at the end of an event that promised much more, but for some time-consuming stoppages. The final day consisted of two stages to the north-west of the island of Corsica. After concentrating on preserving his tyres during the first stage, Meeke set the fastest time on the Power Stage into Calvi. Claiming his third stage win of the event, Meeke was 4.5 seconds faster than team-mate Tänak. Tänak had led the rally before he had to stop and change a tyre on Saturday afternoon. As a result, he finished sixth overall, but his four bonus points from the Power Stage mean he is only five points away from the lead of the drivers' championship. Having both lost significant time with incidents earlier in the rally, Meeke and Jari-Matti Latvala finished in ninth and 10th overall respectively. Latvala was sixth in the Power Stage, missing out on an extra point by just 0.3s. 6 Ott Tänak/Martin Järveoja (Toyota Yaris WRC) +1m40.0s 9 Kris Meeke/Seb Marshall (Toyota Yaris WRC) +5m06.3s 10 Jari-Matti Latvala/Miikka Anttila (Toyota Yaris WRC) +6m44.6s 【TOYOTA GAZOO Racing 】 https://ift.tt/23JOlIT
