That last little bit, we need to find it.вЂќ But we have to be realistic.I know thatвЂ™s not what people want to hear, but to get that last one percent at 200km/h (125mph) in the forest is really difficult. вЂњWhen you have it in your hands and it starts to slip away, itвЂ™s disappointing. вЂњYeah, the two boys are hammering it,вЂќ said Breen, who is running only a limited 2021 schedule with Hyundai. Breen lost the overall lead to the charging Evans on SaturdayвЂ™s third stage, and dropped to third behind Tanak on the sixth. It wasnвЂ™t that heвЂ™d dropped his pace it was the fact that the lead pair had found another level.

The Hyundai driver had more than held his own on FridayвЂ™s six-stage leg, but received a day-two reality check. Suffering most from the on-the-limit scrap between Evans and Tanak was overnight leader Breen. Tanak and his Hyundai were in their element in the afternoon stages.

But EvansвЂ™ scorching time in the fading light of the last of the dayвЂ™s super-fast, gravel forest stages, 12.77-mile Patajoki 2, left him 9.1s ahead of Tanak. Tanak fought back, finding better grip and feel from his Hyundai to earn fastest times in the afternoonвЂ™s opening three stages. Irishman Breen and EstoniaвЂ™s Tanak had ended day one holding a 1-2 lead in their factory Hyundai i20 Coupe WRCS, but a stunning run of four straight stage wins on SaturdayвЂ™s morning loop put Welshman Evans out front in his Yaris WRC.

The images shown to our worldwide television audience will be stunning.вЂќ вЂњAs a bonus, the scenery around that part of the Nambucca Shire is a magnificent vista of lush green hills and valleys. There are numerous corners and hard-packed gravel, which will ensure some impressive speeds from the top WRC cars. вЂњTheyвЂ™re fast, flowing, open and undulating and quite technical for the drivers. вЂњTheyвЂ™re some of the best roads weвЂ™ve got,вЂќ Rally Australia Clerk of the Course Wayne Kenny added. The вЂњnewвЂќ stages were inspected for suitability and safety last week by Australian former WRC star Chris Atkinson, who described them to event organisers as вЂњfantastic, classic WRC stagesвЂќ.

A 5.0km section of Newry will become the new venue for pre-event testing and shakedown events.ДЄlthough back on the itinerary, the 2019 7.53km Utungan and 7.91km North Bank stages will be run in the reverse direction from past years, meaning drivers will face a completely fresh challenge. They will replace the Newry stage, farther north, in the Saturday competition schedule. While most of the 300-plus kilometre route north and south of the city is unchanged except for minor details, WRC drivers are expected to welcome a return to the Utungan and North Bank stages, south of Macksville, last used in 2016. The 27th WRC Rally Australia will run on 14-17 November, based at the C.ex Coffs International Stadium in Coffs Harbour. The eventвЂ™s senior sporting officials have been completing a final review of the rally route this week and will now await formal approval from the world motorsport governing authority in Paris.
