Hi, friends! Please join our #Rally community which can be found here: https://hive.blog/trending/hive-109272 What a crazy event it was at Croatia Rally 2026 with all the punctures and crashes. All the top guys had so many punctures and some of them crashed out and had to take a Super Rally rule to rejoin the rally with time penalties. Toyota guys were in front almost all the time with Sami Pajari and Takamoto Katsuta changing in the lead. But after their misfortune with punctures, Hyundai's Thierry Neuville took the lead before last day. And he led until the very last special stage where he crashed out and lost almost secured win. That was tough to watch, really. That way Hyundai lost only hope for the win so far and they can only wait for the next chance to step on the highest step of the podium. So, Takamoto Katsuta won the rally in front of his team mate Sami Pajari, while Hyundai's Hayden Paddon finished 3rd overall. Crazy event indeed. https://youtu.be/SAodqlY1XE?is=tK8IkQho6c9A0
