TWENTY-ONE-YEAR-OLD OlE CHRISTIAN Veiby emerged victorious from a tough weekend that saw a lot of rain on the first day of the competition. Veiby and co-driver Stig Rune Skjaermœn are now placed first in the championship, having overtaken India’s Gaurav Gill (co-driver Stephane Prevot) by a scant two points. The dire conditions on day one took their toll on both drivers, as Gill collided with a tree stump, causing his Škoda Fabia R5’s steering to bend, and Veiby slid off the course twice.
