Elfyn Evans stormed to victory at Secto Rally Finland on Sunday afternoon to keep his chances of fighting for this year’s FIA World Rally Championship title alive.
A dramatic crash for WRC-leading team-mate Kalle Rovanperä propelled Evans into the lead on Friday afternoon and the Welshman reeled off a stunning seven back-to-back stage wins on Saturday to leave closest challenger Thierry Neuville trailing in his wake.
He extended the buffer further on Sunday to triumph by 39.1sec in a Toyota GR Yaris and, with maximum points for winning the closing Wolf Power Stage, Evans slashed Rovanperä’s points advantage from 55 to 25 with four rounds remaining.
Overall classification:
1. E Evans / S Martin GBR Toyota GR Yaris 2h 33m 11.3s
2. T Neuville / M Wydaeghe BEL Hyundai i20 N +39.1s
3. T Katsuta / A Johnston JPN Toyota GR Yaris +1m 36.7s
4. T Suninen / M Markkula FIN Hyundai i20 N +1m 41.0s
5. J-M Latvala / J Hänninen FIN Toyota GR Yaris +4m 9.4s
