Thierry Neuville has set the fastest time at the WRC's Rally of Poland in a wet and muddy shakedown condition.
Round eight of the World Rally Championship takes place in MikoWaiki in the north-east corner of Poland. The Belgian driver edged out Estonia's Ott Tanak by just two-tenths of a second.
Hayden Paddon of New Zealand has endured mixed results so far this season, but finishing third in shakedown will have given him a timely boost.
France's Sebastien Ogier, Yari-Matti Latvala of Finland and Hyundai's Spanish driver Dani Sordo filled the top six time standings.
Twenty-three high speed stages await the drivers in one of the most highly-anticipated races on the circuit, which tends to be one of the fastest on the calendar.
