Henning Solberg was 'frustrated' and 'really cross' following h🐈is retirement from day two of the Ac💮ropolis Rally.

The Stobart Ford man had begun the s꧙econd leg in fifth place, something that gave him an excellent start position for the rough, dust🌳y stages.

However, after a steady start on the opening two tests, the Norwegian's challenge was brought to an abrupt halt in𝓀 SS9 - Kefalari 1, the final stage of the morning loop.

With Dani Sordo's damaged Citroen parked at the side of the road after hitting a large rock, Solberg adjusted his line to avoid the stricken car but clipped the same rock which broke the front right suspension on his Ford Focus RS WRC putting an end to his day. Henning will now re-start on Sunday under the SupeRa𒈔lly.

"I'm very disappointed," Henni👍ng reflected. "We stayed out of trouble all day yesterday so I'm really cross that this happened on just the third stage of the day today.

"We were forced too far to the inside of the corner as someone was warning us about Sordo's car which we couldn't see stopped around the bend. It's very frustrating but everything 🀅is fixed on the car now so I'm looking forward to getting back out there tomorrow.

"With everything that has happened today we are still in with a chance of scoring points for the tea💙m so that's what we'll be aiming🏅 for."

Matthew Wilson meanwhile, who retired on Friday with oil pressure problems, re-started this morning unde𒈔r the SupeRally in the sister 🍃Stobart Ford Focus.

Wilson Jr set top-six time꧑s in every single stage - including posting a second best effort in SS7 and a third best time in SS12. He thus hauled himself up the leaderboard - from 26th on Friday night🌄 to 18th heading into the final leg, 46.4 seconds in front of Henning.

"After the problems we had yesterday I'm ♏pleased to say that we've had a very positive day today," said Matt. "We were very close to gettไing the fastest time on the first stage this morning and the rest of the day has been just as good.

"This afternoon was quite rough, especially the middle stag🦂e of the loop which was hard on the car and the driver. We were always having to think about tyre wear but it turned out to be not as bad as we thought it was going to be.

"It's good experience t༺o learn to drive with that in mind. It was definitely the hardest day of the rally but it's positive for us to post consistent t🥀op-five times. We can see from the changing leaderboard that anything can happen, though, so we have to stay focussed and bring it home safely."
