Cancelled last year due to the pandemic, the first-ever Renties Ypres Rally Belgium has arrived in the WRC 2021 season and because it's an all-new event, drivers are pulling all the stops in order to survive and thrive in this new rally battleground where the endgame awaits at Spa.

The opening stages saw Thierry Neuville snatched a small 0.4-second lead ahead of Craig Breen and as the event progresses, apart from Adrien Formaux's crash that ended his day in Belgium, the two Hyundai drivers went neck-and-neck all the way to the very end where Neuville won the event with the overall time of 2:30:24.2, 30.7 seconds ahead of Breen. Kalle Rovanpera finished 3rd with 12.4 seconds behind Breen.
After Belgium, Sebastien Ogier remains in the lead with 164 points while Elfyn Evans and Neuville tied with 124 points.
The next event of the WRC 2021 season will be the Acropolis Rally Greece from the 9th to the 12th of September, 2021.
