SS7 cancelled in Poland

The organisers of LOTOS 71st Rally Poland have taken the decision to cancel this afternoon’s seventh stage.

The 12.92km test at ‘Kapciamiestis-Lithuania’ was a re-run of the fifth stage that was run earlier today. The stage was shortened from its original 26.61km length before the rally started due to heavy rain causing the road surface to deteriorate.

A statement from the organisers said: ‘The stage was cancelled for two reasons. There were a number of spectators standing in unsafe places and the condition of the track surface had deteriorated badly’.

The rally will now resume on stage eight, the 17.97km test at ‘Margionys-Lithuania’.
