Latvala Finishes Just Off Podium and Maintains Second in Championship

An unbelievably close finish on the Tour de Corse meant that #jarimattilatvala won the Power Stage and secured fourth place on the rally―by the incredible margin of 0.1 seconds, after 316.80 competitive kilometres! The Finn slipped to fifth after the first stage of the day, which was the longest of the #rally, but then fought back in style.

Latvala ended the event on a high, claiming his first stage win and consolidating his second place in the championship thanks also to the five points that he earned by winning the 10.42-kilometre Power Stage. Despite setting stage times in the top two, Juho Hänninen was unlucky this morning, sliding off the road on the first stage. Nonetheless, he can be proud of his rapid performance, in which the team as a whole underlined the speed and reliability of the #yariswrc.
