Changes made to Curitiba itinerary
Pinhais stage won’t count towards the overall results, SS9 cancelled
The Super Prime Pinhais stage, which was scheduled to bring Rally Internacional de Curitiba to a close later today, won’t count towards the overall results.
Heavy rain in the Brazilian city has made it impossible for crews to recce the 3.38-kilometre course as planned. As a result, they will perform demonstration runs through the stage for the thousands of spectators who are expected to line the route, once they have completed the final competitive stage, the 23.07-kilometre 14th Campina test.
The thunderstorm that struck Curitiba last night has also resulted in stage nine being cancelled after the Pesqueiro River, which runs beside the stage, flooded. A decision if stage 12, the repeat of the Rio Pesquiero test, will run will be made following an inspection at approximately 11:00 local time.
