Hyundai Motorsport - WRC, Rally Australia 2017

Hyundai Motorsport has scored its fourth victory of the 2017 FIA World #rally Championship with torrential rain and Power Stage drama creating a thrilling final day in #rallyaustralia. The Belgian crew of #thierryneuville and Nicolas Gilsoul battled through the tough conditions to take a well-deserved win, clinching second place in the Drivers’ Championship as a result. Hayden Paddon and Seb Marshall enjoyed their strongest day of the weekend, finishing in third position to register their second podium finish of the season. They were initially on course to take fourth but were promoted to third after second-placed Jari-Matti Latvala went off in the Power Stage. Stage wins for Paddon and Neuville brought the total for the weekend to 14 from a possible 19, the most the team has scored in any event in its four-season history. Andreas Mikkelsen and his compatriot co-driver Anders Jæger completed their third #rally with #hyundai Motorsport under #rally 2 regulations after their retirement from the lead on Saturday morning. The final day of action was scheduled to include five stages, two runs through Pilbara Reverse (9.93km) and Wedding Bells (6.44km), as well as tackling the longer 31.90km Bucca test.
