Toytota driver Kalle Rovanpera is on the verge of securing his second World Rally Championship title this weekend. The Finnish driver is currently leading the championship and will claim the title if he outscores his teammate Elfyn Evans in the upcoming races.
This outcome seems increasingly likely after Evans crashed out during stage 11. Although he plans to rejoin the rally on Sunday, his chances of making a significant comeback are slim. Evans will realistically only be able to earn a maximum of five points from the Power Stage, which won’t be enough to close the gap with Rovanpera.
Rovanpera, on the other hand, is in a comfortable position, sitting second overall heading into the final four stages of the championship. With a strong performance, he can secure the necessary points to claim the championship title.
This season has been a battle between the teammates, with Rovanpera and Evans showing impressive skills and determination throughout the rallies. Both drivers have pushed themselves to the limit, striving for victory.
However, Rovanpera’s consistency and ability to maintain a strong pace have given him an edge over his teammate. He has proven himself as a formidable contender and is poised to become a two-time World Rally Champion.
The final stages of the championship will undoubtedly provide thrilling moments and intense competition. Fans around the world are eagerly waiting to see if Rovanpera can seal the deal and clinch the title.
