WRC Paraguay plagued by tyre issues

Four-time world champion Juha Kankkunen described Friday's action at Rally Paraguay as unprecedented, with a series of tyre problems and crashes dominating the event. WRC crews had anticipated a survival rally similar to Safari Rally Kenya, especially with heavy rain expected to arrive on Saturday and Sunday.

The challenging clay/gravel stages are predicted to become extremely slippery as the weather deteriorates, adding another layer of difficulty for competitors already dealing with high tyre wear that caused multiple punctures and delaminations on the opening day. fish-roadgame.com
