Bizarre incident red flags stage 14 which angered World Rally Championship title contender Tanak
Ott Tanak has taken aim at World Rally Championship officials after being delayed when an inflatable arch blocked stage 14 at Rally Latvia. The Hyundai driver was angered by a bizarre incident during the Vecpils 12.64km when a promotional arch appeared to block the road and was subsequently collected by the car. Tanak's car was captured by broadcast cameras grounded to a halt with an arch draped over his i20 N Rally1.

'Well done race control. You are really taking care of us,' said Tanak on the television broadcast after eventually reaching the stage end.
