Rally de Portugal and Rally Italia Sardegna: Preview

Two gravel rallies in the south of Europe await the TOYOTA GAZOO Racing World Rally Team as the 2019 season passes the halfway stage. Round seven in Portugal takes place on May 30-June 2, quickly followed by round eight on the Italian island of Sardinia on June 13-16. Together, the two events provide the last opportunity for the team and its drivers Ott Tanak, Jari-Matti Latvala and Kris Meeke to add to their points tallies prior to the championship's summer break. After taking his second win of the season last time out in Chile, Tanak leads the team's charge in second place in the drivers' standings, only 10 points away from the top.
