Thierry Neuville says finishing second in RallyEstonia felt like a victory to him due to his previous struggles in gravel WRC events:
Thierry Neuville says a second place at Rally Estonia felt like a “victory” after struggling to challenge for podiums at high-speed gravel World Rally Championship events last year.The Hyundai driver emerged as the best of the rest behind a dominant rally winner Kalle Rovanpera last weekend, finishing 52.7s behind the inspired Toyota driver who recorded 13 consecutive stage wins.
The surface has proved to be a weakness for the Belgian in recent seasons and particularly last year when behind the wheel of the i20 N Rally1 Neuville finished a distant fourth, almost four minutes behind winner Rovanpera, in Estonia., a four-time Rally Estonia winner, could only finish 1m55.7s adrift in third.
“It feels good. The best thing is I felt comfortable in the car and I was able to drive with my usual rhythm at such a fast event. This gives me a lot of motivation for Finland [next week].
