Thierry Neuville aims to redeem himself at Rally Islas Canarias after a costly mistake in Croatia prevented a Hyundai victory in the World Rally Championship.
Despite leading by over a minute in Croatia, Neuville’s collision with a concrete block on the final stage caused severe damage to his i20 N Rally1 car, forcing him to retire from the rally.
Determined to bounce back, Neuville expressed his regret to the team for the error and is focused on delivering a strong performance in the upcoming rally in the Canary Islands.
The smooth asphalt roads of the Canary Islands have historically posed a challenge for Hyundai, but the team is adopting a meticulous approach to maximize their performance.
Hyundai’s sporting director, Andrew Wheatley, emphasized the need for a flawless performance in the Canary Islands to compete for a podium finish and make up for the disappointment in Croatia.
