Today’s stage did not go as expected for Carlos Sainz and David Oliveras (Ford Raptor) at the Morocco Rally. Starting second in the day’s order of departure, they were forced to essentially break trail. Added to this was a navigation issue that set them back in the day’s standings, and they finished in sixth place, more than seven minutes behind the winner. This result places them, after this fourth day, in third place in the overall standings.

Carlos Sainz: “It was a tough stage today. We started in second place, with few cars ahead of us to use as a reference, and a navigation issue caused us to lose about five minutes at one point. Then we also had a slow puncture. It wasn’t our best stage, but we’re heading into the final day in third place overall. Tomorrow we’ll try to finish the rally by holding onto our spot on the podium! Let’s go, team!”
