Fresh of last weekends Czech Rally, Dani Sardo managed to pick up a podium finish for Hyundai in his first time out in an R5 spec i20.

Starting inside the top 5, the Spaniard in wet conditions achieved a top 3 finish, whilst Czech leader Jan Kopecky in his Skoda Fabia R5 took the spoils in Zlin.

The next WRC rally is in Turkey on 13th September, followed by UK, Spain and finally Australia as the season starts to come to a close.

Hyundai's Theirry Neuville from Belgium leads the drivers pack with Hyundai dominating the top of the rankings with Toyota.

With the team rankings, it looks too late for Citroen, but Ford are nipping at the feet of Toyota, who in turn are chasing Hyundai.
