Dani Sordo, at the wheel of a Hyundai i20 WRC, was the fastest driver in the shakedown of the Rally de Portugal, beating an «army» of four Ford Fiestas in the first five places.
In second place, Sébastien Ogier (Ford M-Sport) trailed Sordo by just a tenth of a second. Third place was Elfyn Evans, also behind the wheel of a Ford Fiesta WRC.
Remember that Shakedown only serves to check the last details of the car before the competitive start of the Rally de Portugal, later, in Lousada, shortly after seven in the afternoon – see here the complete schedules of this first day.
