Tyre Woes Hit WRC Paraguay

Four-time world champion Juha Kankkunen says he can't remember a day as eventful as the series of tyre issues and crashes that headlined Friday's action at Rally Paraguay. WRC crews had predicted that Paraguay would be a rally of survival, potentially as extreme as Safari Rally Kenya.

Heavy rain is set to arrive on Saturday and Sunday, rendering the clay/gravel stages incredibly slippery. The challenging conditions are expected to test the endurance and skill of all competitors throughout the remainder of the event. esporist.org
