Thierry Neuville was the first to arrive at the scene of Takamoto Katsuta’s serious crash during last week’s World Rally Championship rally in Paraguay. The sight shocked the Hyundai driver, particularly because the Japanese competitor is his close friend.
Neuville’s own rally in Paraguay turned into a major disappointment. A puncture damaged his car, forcing the Belgian to retire after the opening speed stage.
The retirement also ended his hopes of remaining in contention at the event.
