00:30The road to Raleigh Portugal lined with history.
00:33A history that stretches back over half a century.
00:38There were plenty of punters willing to back Carlos Sainz.
00:41The dark horse of 1989, now Toyota's number one.
00:47The 26th Portuguese rally.
00:49The course, demanding and spectacular, Francois Delacour.
00:54Not going to let it slip now, surely.
01:00The second round of the 1994 was here in Portugal.
01:04Colin McRae and Derek Ringer have their Subaru on the limit.
01:11Logue won all of today's six stages.
01:13He was now championship leader.
01:15Portugal is the first of a summer of gravel rallies.
01:22Six former winners competing here.
01:24Who's going to add to the Portugal chapter in the Raleigh history books this weekend?
01:29A long opening day, eventful too.
01:39Too eventful for Hyundai's Adrian Furnau.
01:42Locked in a fight for the lead with teammate Oik Tanak until second pass through Arganil.
01:50Furnau's challenge over.
01:52He'll be back today.
01:55Championship leader Elvin Evans was always going to have a tough time opening the road.
01:59Sure enough, road sweeping duties slowed the Welshman.
02:03He's in seventh more than a minute of the lead.
02:07Hyundai needed to improve after the disappointments of Gran Canaria.
02:12A sluggish morning for Thierry Neville.
02:14But the champion found his mojo in a stage winning afternoon.
02:18He's fit.
02:19Cala Rovanpera was sensational last time out on the tarmac of his Las Canarias.
02:28Never totally happy with the feeling in his Yaris on the switch to gravel.
02:32But the Finns just stopped the podium.
02:38Takemoto Katsuta in a fight with Toyota teammate Sebastian Ogier for most of the day.
02:42But he dropped off the pace to concede second place with Rovanpera chasing hard.
02:49Raleigh Portugal's most successful driver.
02:55Six-time winner Sebastian Ogier took a little while getting to grips with the new Hankook tyres.
03:00But he stepped up the pace to end Friday in second.
03:04Leading the field, Oik Tanak giving Hyundai plenty to smile about with two early stage wins.
03:13Staying out front throughout a marathon opening day on the loose.
03:17Just what Hyundai needed.
03:22Tanak takes a seven-second lead into Saturday.
03:26Ogier poised.
03:26Some battle in store there.
03:29Ditto for third place.
03:30Rovanpera only 1.2 seconds behind Katsuta.
03:34Everyone behind you is red.
03:38That potentially means this could be state win 400 in the WRC.
03:44Uh-huh.
03:44Nice number.
03:47Massive achievement though.
03:50Yeah.
03:51If there would be as many championship titles as well, it would be better.
03:54But anyhow, yeah.
03:56Nice number.
03:59Saturday.
04:00Leading them away, Adrian Formal.
04:02Here's Hyundai i20 back in one piece.
04:13The Frenchman with the dubious honour of opening them.
04:16No doubt with an eye on Super Sunday bonus points already.
04:22Plenty of close battles, keeping things interesting, not least at M Sport.
04:26Josh McElaine in a fight with Greg Munster.
04:29The Irishman striking first, overtaking his teammate.
04:32in this opening stage.
04:43Relief for championship leader, Elvin Evans.
04:46Five cars in front of him today.
04:48So a cleaner, grippier, and hopefully faster line to follow.
04:51Time to make up lost ground.
04:53His first target, team-mate Sammy Piari, 7.6 seconds in front.
04:57But the Viero Domino stage is getting quicker with every passing car.
05:08Witness young Piari next on the road.
05:10And quicker than Evans, no team orders at Toyota.
05:15Not now, anyway.
05:19Yeah, I think it's cleaning, cleaning kind of it.
05:21What can we expect from you today?
05:23I think more or less the same like we did now, so nothing crazy, I guess.
05:28World champion Thierry Neville has had a stuttering start to the season, but Hyundai are back on the pace here, after the disappointments of Islas Canarias.
05:40Nabil's mission this morning, to reign in Kale Rovanpera, a big ask.
05:51How many positions can you catch today?
05:53I don't know.
05:54Will be difficult.
05:55As if to emphasise the points, Rovanpera is quicker through this opening stage.
06:02The Finn looking forward, in pursuit of Takamoto Katsuta, just over a second ahead, in third.
06:14Yesterday went well for Taka, until his pace dropped off in the final stages, allowing his good friend to cut the gap to just over a second overnight.
06:22No time for niceties, Rovanpera takes third.
06:33The master of Portugal, six-time winner, Sebastião Auger.
06:3941 years old, but with the appetite of a rookie.
06:42Still hungry for more, sure enough, it's full-out attack from the start.
06:47Seb, quickest.
06:52White Tanak, the man to catch, defending a seven-second lead, reduced to 4.4 seconds after this opening stage.
07:00Game on!
07:02Tanak never won to hide his frustration.
07:05All set for another cracking battle, between the two former champions.
07:10How quick is it for?
07:11It looks like Hoyt has something to be worried about today.
07:14He's 2.2 down on the last split that I have.
07:16He's a tough competitor, so I'm always looking forward to this nice fight with him, but I...
07:23Hoyt, good morning.
07:24You gave away 2.6 to seven there.
07:26Are you surprised about that?
07:28No, not at all.
07:30Yeah.
07:31I can't do much more.
07:33It's just super complicated for me, so I can't drive like I should.
07:38That's the way it is.
07:39Worrying comments from Tanak, if a touch cryptic.
07:43Almost half his overnight lead, gone in a flash.
07:464.4 seconds, the gap now.
07:48Auger on the prowl.
07:50Confirmation, Rolf Lepera moves ahead of Katsuta for the third podium place.
07:54A long way to go.
08:00Friends and rivals battle it out through the stages of Rally Portugal.
08:04Who will blink first?
08:06We're in Portugal for round five of the World Rally Championship.
08:27Intriguing battles up and down the leaderboard as they head for the rest of Saturday morning's loop of stages.
08:36Which Takemoto Katsuta will we see today?
08:43Impressive stage winning performance one minute yesterday, off the pace next.
08:47Conceding third place in today's opening stage, but then reclaiming it here much better.
08:52You're quick, very quick.
09:00Yeah?
09:00Yeah.
09:02I don't know, I just keep my reason, but nothing I have to go up for better.
09:08You know, you're just really, really good.
09:10Okay.
09:11Nice to hear, but I don't know why.
09:13Okay.
09:14Sebastian Ogier, off to a flyer this morning, chasing more records, a potential seventh Portugal win,
09:21and drawing ever closer to Carlos Sainz Hall of 756 WRC stage wins.
09:28Quickest to gain through here.
09:29What about rally leader Oytanak?
09:34Early signs good, up on the splits against Ogier, but losing time towards the end of the stage.
09:44The reason apparent at the stop line.
09:47Unlucky stage 13.
09:48Amorat, another legendary stage to complete the loop.
10:16No holding back, Sami Piari, in his fight with teammate Alvin Evans.
10:20The young Finn, 2.1 seconds quicker than the championship leader.
10:31Deary Neville doing all he can to cut the gap to Kali Ravimpera, but making little impressions so far.
10:37Tyres getting hot, softs perhaps not the best option.
10:40Struggling with handling, fine margins.
10:43Ravimpera, running one hard compound tyre, front left, saving soft for Super Sunday maybe.
10:53And quicker than Neville, and Katsuta.
10:57Ravimpera, back up to third.
10:59Good battle.
11:00Even better fight for the rally lead.
11:09Ogier taking time out of Tanak in both opening stages, but who will be leading come midday service?
11:15Seb, surprisingly off the pace in Amorant.
11:18Well, Tanak's response, explosive.
11:28Blasting through almost 10 seconds quicker than Ogier, extending his lead to double figures for the first time this weekend.
11:36The pendulum swings back firmly in the Estonian's favour.
11:39Midpoint of Rally Portugal, advantage Tanak, now 11.8 seconds ahead of Ogier.
11:49Ravimpera and Katsuta trading places this morning.
11:52The Finn claiming the final podium spot by just four-tenths of a second.
12:00Plenty for six-time Portugal winner Sebastián Ogier to contemplate as he studies those stage times.
12:05Rally Portugal continues to build on its reputation as one of the wonders of the rally world.
12:27A new car to the M Sport Ford Puma this weekend, local driver Diogo Salvi.
12:38I'm going to win Glossada.
12:40His first rally was in 1989.
12:44Rally Portugal, current Rally 1 car, a whole new experience.
12:49Diogo, how was that stage like that for the second time?
12:52Well, a little bit better, but still slow.
12:56And with that, it's back to the service park today.
13:03A chance to change set-up.
13:05In the M Sport Ford Camp, the drivers are friends, but also rivals.
13:09It's one of the first rules of motorsport, isn't it?
13:11Beat your teammates.
13:12It must feel good to be doing that in that sense today.
13:14Yeah, exactly.
13:15It's always good.
13:16It's always the benchmark you're looking.
13:18So basically what we have now on the car, we should have used yesterday, and what we used
13:24yesterday, we should have now on the cars.
13:26It's nice to have the same package as us, and we just keep on learning because still,
13:31as I said, every time, each day in one of these cars is a big learning experience.
13:35I think with the same car, two rookies, it's quite nice.
13:39But, yeah, now we gained a bit of time, so I will try to change that in the afternoon.
13:44Of course, it would be nice to continue to fight with Kalle, but this man is not far behind,
13:49so I need to keep pushing and able to keep this position for tomorrow, good position for
13:57tomorrow.
14:03Back out on the stages, it's still Josh McAlehan leading the M Sport Ford battle.
14:18Very close between you and Greg, though.
14:21Yeah, I think he wants a race now.
14:23Honestly, we keep to ourselves, we've done our own thing in service, and we'll see how
14:29this afternoon goes.
14:30I think there was a bit of a compromise in the year with tyres, but hopefully it works
14:33out for the whole loop.
14:35A better road position today doesn't seem to be helping Alvin Evans move up the leaderboard.
14:40The Welshman, though, knows patience is key, especially with such a strong championship
14:44lead.
14:45And there are extra Super Sunday bonus points to play for tomorrow, remember.
14:49Impressing with every passing stage, the latest youngster to emerge from the Finnish driver
14:58production line, Sammy Piaru, extending his lead over Evans.
15:02Thierry Neville, so often master of the second pass, not this afternoon, struggling to keep
15:22his car in the line, losing seconds every time the I-20 bottoms out on the bumpy terrain.
15:27Tyres, a big issue as ever, with an eye on conserving soft rubber for tomorrow.
15:46Calorovimpera, with a cross pattern of hard and soft, not happy with the balance on his
15:51Yaris, still quick mind.
15:53Takemoto Katsuta's contrasting fortunes continue.
16:03Lightning quick and beaming smiles one stage, struggling for pace, and here, scrappy, the
16:08next.
16:09Taka needs to keep a cool head.
16:11What's going on in there?
16:22I have no idea, just a no grip, no grip, and I couldn't drive so smoothly, it wasn't so
16:27bad.
16:28The front runners, Sebastian Auger, blisteringly quick through here this morning, looking to
16:38take the fight back towards Tanak, after losing time in the last stage before service.
16:43Quickest so far.
16:52How would Tanak respond this time?
16:54So often, a frustrated figure when the feeling isn't there, pretty much unbeatable when he's
16:59comfortable with the car.
17:01Comfortable.
17:01Quicker than Sebastian Auger, once again.
17:07Yeah, very close.
17:10We keep trying.
17:11Our work conditions in here, are they suiting you this afternoon?
17:14It's a bit more rough than the morning.
17:15I enjoy more the first pass here, it's a bit more of a fight now, but all okay.
17:19You finished three tenths quicker in there than Seth.
17:22So it's perfect.
17:23Advantage Oits, his lead, now 12.1 seconds, Ravimpera pulling away from Katsuta by almost
17:31seven seconds now.
17:32Nabil has the Toyota driver in his sights too, 6.4 seconds the gap.
17:40I don't remember where we have seen this rough stage in Portugal.
17:44Horrible stage.
17:46Tough stage, tough stage.
17:49It's tough out there, and about to get rougher.
17:53We're into the gravel phase of the WRC season, starting with one of the originals and very
18:06best.
18:06Rally Portugal, round five.
18:12Now or never, Tireneville has to go for it.
18:16Not just this weekend, but for his title prospects.
18:20The champion pushing hard.
18:21Big risks can produce big rewards.
18:29And paying dividends.
18:36Next, Cala Rovimpera.
18:38Different car, different driving styles, different generations.
18:43But after almost 20 gruelling kilometres, identical times.
18:56That's 19.91 Ks.
18:59You in a Toyota, a Tiri and a Hyundai.
19:01Identical time at the end of it.
19:03And the champions keep coming.
19:14Sebastián Auger, master of Portugal, flexing his muscles.
19:21Not enjoying the rough ride, but still four seconds quicker.
19:29Horrible stage.
19:30Why?
19:32It's cross-country rally, not rally anymore.
19:35It's so rough.
19:37And I've got a little bit more bad news here.
19:39OIT's 1.6 up on you as well.
19:42No bad news.
19:43The good news is that we finish with this one.
19:45It'll take something special to beat Sebastián Auger here.
19:49Cue OIT Tanak.
19:50Answering pretty much every question the Frenchman has asked of him today.
19:56Tanak quick is to gain by just under two seconds.
20:01Stop stage.
20:02Stop stage.
20:03But then one beast.
20:04In one pace.
20:05And you extend it by 1.8 over Seb.
20:08So it's nothing.
20:09Back to Amorant, the penultimate stage.
20:18Disaster for the rally leader.
20:20Tanak losing his power steering.
20:26Huge struggle.
20:28Co-driver Martin Javioya having to change gear.
20:31Breaking news for Auger at the end of the stage.
20:34It wasn't looking great.
20:40You were sick slower at the night.
20:43But now he's slow.
20:45You are eight and a half in front.
20:47He's nursing a problem.
20:50Yeah.
20:50It was a crazy push all the time.
20:52I said to my engineer at the end of the last one.
20:55Honestly, anything can happen in this condition.
20:57So.
20:59Yeah.
21:00You love the battles with Auger.
21:01You don't want it to end this way.
21:03No, never.
21:04Well, let's hope it's nothing too bad.
21:06Tanak losing 45 seconds.
21:09A cruel blow.
21:10Dropping from first to third.
21:14Potential power steering issue.
21:15Is that correct?
21:17Yeah.
21:18How tough is that?
21:20Super easy.
21:21Beautiful.
21:21All change at the top.
21:35Sebastian Auger inheriting the rally lead.
21:3826 seconds ahead of Calerovenpera, who's up to second.
21:42Oytanak down to third for now.
21:44Lusada, part of the DNA of Raleigh Portugal.
21:50Traditional end to Saturday's action.
21:52Colorful, noisy.
21:54Big crowds here to see a blast of side-by-side action.
21:58Interesting to see how Tanak copes around here.
22:00Here we go then.
22:05No, the problem remains.
22:06Yeah, you can immediately see how tentative they are, can't you?
22:10It's just about damage limitation.
22:12I mean, he was absolutely gutted, wasn't he, after the previous stage.
22:15You can understand that, because he'd actually been slamming the door shut on this man.
22:20The eight-time champion and six-time Portugal winner.
22:22Auger didn't have an answer for him.
22:24I love the quotes from Auger at the end of that previous stage as well.
22:28He did not want to win this rally in this manner, did he, at all?
22:32No.
22:32If he does, obviously, it's still a day to go, of course.
22:35Absolutely not.
22:36You can see Oytanurse in that Hyundai round.
22:41I don't think the pace of the car has been in question this weekend,
22:44but you've got to have the whole package.
22:47That's what Toyota turn up with week in, week out, is reliability.
22:51And it's really unfortunate, really unfortunate for Hyundai and I do feel for Oytanurse.
22:57I'll tell you what, he's not losing as much time as I thought he was going to.
23:00I was going to say, 2.2 seconds, that first split, after just one kilometre.
23:03Remember, it was 16.3 seconds to get to his team-mate, Nuvilse.
23:08Maybe if he can just wrestle, it's going to be absolutely numbing those forearms.
23:13But if he can just wrestle this I-20 through and at least hold on to third, it's something.
23:19It's devastating anyway.
23:20But a podium, or to still be in the fight for a podium, I'd say, on that final day, it's something.
23:26And it will be driving the car on the tarmac, the rough bedrock of a stage where the car's moving around constantly.
23:32It's just these bits here now where he's just got to get the car to...
23:35And we saw in the previous stage as well, Martin Javier, his team-mate, his co-driver, actually changing gear for him so he could keep...
23:43That's how hard it is on the gravel, on the bedrock when it's rough, because the car's moving around so much.
23:48You're hanging on to it and trying to correct it on the smooth tarmac here.
23:52He's not dealing with that.
23:53Yeah, he's just hanging on for dear life, isn't he, in here.
23:59Auger clearly going to be a lot quicker.
24:02But let's see what the overall gap is compared to Neuville then, as Auger does cross the line a little bit slower.
24:09So he had 16.3 to play with, he's not going to hang on to third.
24:14Wow, fair play.
24:16I'll be honest, I didn't think that was going to happen.
24:19Yeah.
24:20You stay in third position.
24:22We're obviously all very gutted for you.
24:24I heard you tried to make some attempts to fix the car.
24:27I don't know what else to say.
24:30Yeah.
24:31Part of the game, I guess.
24:34Very unfortunate, yeah.
24:36But obviously, we gave everything from our side, so what else can I say?
24:45Stage win, Sebastian Auger.
24:47He now leads by 27.6 seconds from Cala Rovnpera.
24:51Oitanek manages to stay in third, 36 seconds off the lead he'd held for so long.
24:57Chirinaville fourth, Takemoto Katsuta fifth.
25:02After two gruelling days, classic Rally Portugal action,
25:06Tomorrow, it's the big one.
25:08Nobody wants to miss back.
25:10My life be like...
25:17My life be like...
25:34Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow.
25:36My life be like...
25:38Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow.
25:40Yeah.
