Croatia becomes the 34th country to stage an FIA World Rally Championship fixture when the Balkan state hosts the third round of the 2021 campaign this weekend (22 – 25 April). “It’s only been two rallies and we have a long season ahead. “It will be the first time for me on a proper asphalt event with the Yaris, as so far I’ve only had events with winter conditions like Monza and Monte-Carlo. Neuville is joined by Ott Tänak and Craig Breen in i20 World Rally Cars for what will be Breen’s first asphalt outing since 2018. As well as trying to master the Croatian mountain roads, the drivers will use Pirelli’s P Zero asphalt tyres for the first time since the Italian company’s return to the WRC’s top flight this year.
