Report

=World Rally Cars=

The M-Sport Ford WRT crew of Elfyn Evans and Scott Martin had been due to return, having missed the Rallies of Finland and Germany when Evans injured himself in a pre-event testing accident while preparing for Rally Finland. However, Evans' recovery necessitated further delays, with Wales Rally GB earmarked for their return.{{cite news|url=https://www.wrc.com/en/wrc/news/august-2019/evans-injury/page/6626--12-12-.html|title=Evans due for GB return|work=wrc.com|publisher=WRC|date=30 August 2019|accessdate=30 August 2019}}

Several drivers suffered punctures, including three Toyota drivers and Dani Sordo. Esapekka Lappi led into the second leg, following by champion teammate Sébastien Ogier. Thierry Neuville was in the eighth spot after the morning loop, but a masterful drive in the afternoon loop promoted the Belgian to third.{{cite news|url=https://www.wrc.com/en/wrc/news/august-2019/evans-injury/page/6626--12-12-.html|title=Friday in Turkey:Lappi and Ogier Delight Citroën|work=wrc.com|publisher=WRC|date=13 September 2019|accessdate=14 September 2019}}

Saturday was full of dramas. At the opening stage of the leg, championship contender Neuville went off the road and lost approximately four minutes, which dropped him down to ninth.{{cite news|url=https://www.wrc.com/en/wrc/news/september-2019/turkey-ss8/page/6664--12-12-.html|title=SS8: Ogier on a charge|work=wrc.com|publisher=WRC|date=14 September 2019|accessdate=14 September 2019}} Moments later, championship leader Ott Tänak was out as well. His Yaris broke down at the road section and was unable to move further, which means his day was over.{{cite news|url=https://www.wrc.com/en/wrc/news/september-2019/turkey-ss10/page/6665--12-12-.html|title=SS9/10: Lappi fends off Ogier|work=wrc.com|publisher=WRC|date=14 September 2019|accessdate=14 September 2019}} Following Ogier's major rivals in troubles, the defending world champion put himself on the top of the leaderboard as of Friday, just 0.2 second ahead of teammate Lappi.{{cite news|url=https://www.wrc.com/en/wrc/news/september-2019/turkey-wrc-day-2/page/6666--12-12-.html|title=Saturday in Turkey:Ogier leads by 0.2sec|work=wrc.com|publisher=WRC|date=14 September 2019|accessdate=15 September 2019}} Eventually, they both safely completed the rally to bring Citroën their first 1-2 finish since 2015 Rally Argentina.

Local driver Bugra Banaz's rally was over as his Fiesta R5 burnt out on the liaison section to the final stage. Kajetan Kajetanowicz held a three-minute lead after Saturday after two drama-free days. However, he broke a driveshaft on Sunday, but managed to bring his wounded Fabia home to take his first victory of season in the category.
