Hyundai’s Thierry Neuville currently leads the Acropolis Rally after the completion of the first seven special stages on Friday. Neuville took the lead immediately in the opening stage and maintained his position throughout the day. He finished the day with a lead over Sébastien Ogier and Adrien Fourmaux. The rally saw one notable retirement on Friday, with driver Armstrong being forced to withdraw from the competition. Neuville’s strong performance establishes him as an early favorite as the rally progresses. Further stages are expected to test drivers with challenging terrain.
