World Rally Championship drivers believe the Acropolis Rally can go ahead safely in the wake of Storm Daniel that has caused torrential rain and flash flooding across Greece.
Regions of Greece have been subjected to severe rainfall and thunderstorms over the past 72 hours, which has caused widespread disruption and flash floods.The wild weather has disrupted preparations for the rally with the FIA forced to cancel Thursday's shakedown stage after already electing to shorten stage 14/15 Gremmeni by 10 kilometres for safety reasons.
Weather forecasts are predicting dry, hot weather to arrive from Saturday. Lamia experienced further rain on Thursday morning but it has since relented. "Obviously, if the weather carries on like this, personally I think it is not reasonable to continue. It looks like it should improve but of course, it is difficult for us.
"We also must respect the fact that we have a community here that is facing an adverse situation and they also need the support of the authorities and police and so on to make sure civilians are safe. "The last factor is the drivers, we are trying to find a solution and we are working with the FIA to find a way to get access to the latest information in a fully legal way."believes the conditions are OK for the rally to progress but is mindful of the wider situation affecting the wider communities.
