The WRC 2022 season continues with the Ypres Rally Belgium as narrow farm lanes and deep ditches put the rally drivers to the test.
As hometown hero Thierry Neuville delivered his outstanding results in the shakedown, Neuville delivered an impressive comeback in the opener following the rolling out of Kalle Rovanpera that forced him out of the race. That success came with the price as following his clash with Ott Tanak, Neuville shockingly surrendered during the penultimate stage as his car went to the ditch, giving Ott Tanak the chance to take the lead.
