You know it was a crazy round of the World Rally Championship when the driver who won didn’t lead the event at all until the very moment it counted.
The top-two in the championship were both out for the day after just one and three stages respectively, a maiden win was lost to a tire change, and then of course “a gift” of a lead was squandered on the powerstage for a team who badly needed that result.
Croatia Rally 2026 had it all, and now we’ve released a podcast to match.
Former Rally1 driver Grégoire Munster joined host Luke Barry on SPIN, The Rally Pod to dissect all the key moments including honest thoughts on Thierry Neuville’s incident, who he felt the top performing driver was, whether Takamoto Katsuta can sustain his new championship lead and shares a little on his rallying plans for 2026 after driving a Ford Puma Rally1 in Monte Carlo, coaching, commentating and stage-end reporting in Sweden, and then coaching and working as route note crew in Croatia.
