Tyre Woes Dominate WRC Paraguay

Four-time world champion Juha Kankkunen described Friday at Rally Paraguay as unprecedented due to a series of tyre issues and crashes.

WRC crews had predicted Paraguay would be a rally of survival, with conditions potentially as extreme as Safari Rally Kenya. Heavy rain expected on Saturday and Sunday is set to make the clay/gravel stages incredibly slippery.

The challenging conditions have led to multiple tyre punctures and delaminations, affecting several competitors throughout the event. wlop.pl
