Tänak led the #rally almost from start to finish as he and co-driver Martin Järveoja notched up their third win in as many years on the demanding German asphalt #Event. After an intense battle they built a gap on the fearsome Panzerplatte stages on Saturday afternoon, when Meeke and Latvala moved up into the podium positions.
On the final day the three crews protected their positions, with Tänak ultimately winning by 20.8 seconds as he clinched his fifth triumph of the year. For Meeke and co-driver Seb Marshall, second place represents their first podium finishes for Toyota, while third for Latvala and Miikka Anttila was a strong repeat of their result on the previous round in Finland. Together, it was a perfect result on the home #Event of Toyota Motorsport GmbH, based nearby in Cologne and responsible for developing the engine of the Toyota Yaris #WRC.
TOYOTA GAZOO #racing #rally Challenge Program driver Takamoto Katsuta reached the end of his first #Event at the highest level of the #WRC in a fine 10th place, driving a separately-entered Toyota Yaris #WRC.
