Late heartache for Huttunen as Ingram wins ERC Junior U27
Chris Ingram's bid for FIA ERC Junior U27 Championship victory looked to be over when his Opel ADAM started to lose power before a gearbox issue set in on the final morning of the Azores Airlines Rallye.
Having led by 0.8s heading to the final loop of three stages, he was 6.0s behind team-mate Jari Huttunen starting the final run where Huttunen hit trouble, suffering a driveshaft failure approximately 200 metres from the finish. The Finn's misfortune handed Ingram and co-driver Elliot Edmondson victory with Aleks Zawada taking second following a day-one off.
Filip Mareš recovered from numerous delays to complete the podium on his third gravel rally. Tamara Molinaro won the ERC Ladies' Trophy in fourth having restarted on leg two after she retired on stage 10 with broken steering and a driveshaft.
Buǧra Banaz and Dominik Brož battled through to finish fifth and sixth respectively. Marcos González, Karel Kupec and Catie Munnings both failed to restart after crashing on Friday.
Huttunen's efforts were rewarded with the Colin McRae ERC Flat Out Trophy.
