Neuville wins 2024 Acropolis Rally | FP

The return to victory

After the success achieved in Greece in 2022, Thierry Neuville returns to the top step of the podium in Acropolis RallyA victory that allows the Belgian Hyundai driver to maintain his championship lead by increasing his advantage over his teammate Ott Tänak and Sebastien Ogier, who retired during the Power Stage after an attempted comeback in the general classification.

Ogier: Mission Failed

Very short last day, with two special tests and the Power Stage as the final act of the round in Greece. An important Sunday in which Sebastien Ogier played it all to attempt a difficult comeback on Thierry Neuville, leader of the general classification. The eight-time world champion actually gave his all in the hope of closing the gap on the Belgian, overtaking Sordo in second position thanks to victories in the first two special tests on the program. The first concluded right in front of Neuville and then on Tänak, with the championship leader 6th in SS14 but fully managing the advantage, more than a minute on Ogier and Sordo. However, on the occasion of the Power Stagethe Frenchman has definitively lost any chance of recovery for a rolloverfortunately without consequences for him and his co-driver. An episode that therefore allowed Neuville to win the Greek rally without particular difficulty, returning to the top step of the podium for the first time this season after the Monte Carlo Rally, the first of this season. Worth highlighting is the great performance of Adrien Fourmauxwho closed a very complicated rally for him with the victory of the Power Stage.
