Tyre Wrecks WRC Paraguay Day 1

WRC crews had predicted that Paraguay would be a "rally of survival," potentially as extreme as Safari Rally Kenya. The challenging conditions are expected to intensify with heavy rain forecast for Saturday and Sunday, which could render the clay/gravel stages incredibly slippery.

Kankkunen, a four-time world champion, stated he couldn't remember a day as eventful as the series of tyre issues and crashes that headlined Friday's action. Teams now face critical decisions on tyre management as the rally progresses through increasingly difficult conditions. newsbetting.club
