WRC 2020: Rally Turkey

In the midst of the loudest race weekend of the year, the 2020 World Rally Championship continues for the Rally Turkey where drivers are trying to survive through the incident-filled thriller at Marmaris.

The Rally Turkey of this season is proven to be an incident-filled one causing the tables to be turned for some drivers fighting for the title. Unpredictable as such but this is a sure way to make this season more interesting.

The Friday stages saw Thierry Neuville emerged the fastest in the shakedown while rally legend Sebastien Loeb emerged as the surprise leader of the event. The Saturday stages saw an incident that spell doom to Ott Tanak's title fight while Sebastien Ogier claws himself as the leader, only to be outrun by Neuville. In Sunday stages, after Ogier's title fight came to a fiery end, Elfyn Evans emerged as the winner of the Rally Turkey with the overall time of 2:43:02.7, regaining the lead in the leaderboards. Neuville finished 2nd with 35.2 seconds behind and Loeb finished 3rd.
