5:05 Cars: Blown engine for Gordon

Pending official confirmation, American Robby Gordon (Hummer) has not been able to start the day’s special after blowing his engine on the link stage. Damn not a good year.

15:45 Cars: Gordon awaiting assistance

It looks like American Robby Gordon (Hummer) has blown his engine or has broken his suspension. In any case, he is still stuck at the 514 km point on the link stage before the day’s special and is currently waiting for his assistance team. When they arrive, he will decide whether to carry on with the race or not…

It’s all over for Robby Gordon!

Following a broken wheel bearing after 514 km of the link stage leading to the 4th special, American Robby Gordon (Hummer) was not able to reach the day’s timed section, since the race officials had already closed the start point by the time his assistance team reached him. As a result, the Californian has been forced to abandon the rally.

#327 is still in the rally...
