Excitement is building in the world of motorsport as the WRC Central Europe event unfolds. The latest twist came when Toyota’s Elfyn Evans suffered a setback, running off the road on stage 11 while firmly holding onto third position. This unexpected turn of events has put Kalle Rovanpera in a very advantageous position, as he only needs to outscore his Toyota rival to successfully defend his crown.
Rovanpera, who had a small setback himself in stage 10, reducing his overnight lead, opted to back off after Evans’ accident. This strategic move allowed Hyundai’s Thierry Neuville to take the rally lead by 11.1 seconds over Rovanpera. Despite this temporary setback, Rovanpera remains confident in his ability to regain control and secure the championship.

Hyundai will undoubtedly focus on maintaining Neuville’s lead, while Toyota will be determined to close the gap and reclaim the top spot. The pressure is on for both teams to make calculated moves and exploit any opportunities that arise during the remaining stages of the event.
