A car driven by a member of the public travelling in the opposite direction appeared during Stage 4, which was encountered by WRC2 drivers Sami Pajari and title contender Emil Lindholm. Luckily, an accident was avoided and no injuries were sustained.
The incident occurred moments after M-Sport’s Craig Breen understeered at a right hander and subsequently crashed through an armco barrier. The damage caused to the barriers resulted in the second pass of the test (Stage 7) being cancelled completely.
