Ott Tänak and Sébastien Ogier share the early lead of Acropolis Rally Greece after a Thursday night opener delayed by greater than an hour.
The Athens superspecial, a brand new addition for 2025, was resulting from start at 6.05pm native time. Nonetheless, the stage didn’t really start till 7.28pm (1h23m late) resulting from “extreme site visitors congestion” on the highway down from Lamia to Athens.
That meant the transporters carrying the competing vehicles have been delayed arriving into town.
As soon as underway, the 0.9-mile take a look at was barely thought of an appetizer for the 213 miles which can be to come back throughout the weekend – and may have no impact on Friday’s operating order.
However all particular phases depend in the direction of the ultimate end result, and it was Tänak and Ogier who made the brightest begin, each setting a time of 1m18.1s.
