With the Kalle Rovanpera versus Elfyn Evans title fight reaching its climax, the World Rally Championship will throw the ultimate curveball of a brand-new event and concept that could determine this year’s champion.
It’s not often an entirely new rally concept joins the World Rally Championship calendar. This weekend’s Central European Rally is not only a championship first, but this voyage into the unknown could conceivably decide the title race. WRC events have crossed country borders before but the Central European Rally, which hosts the penultimate round of the season, takes this principle to another level.
It is important to note Evans was much more at home with the previous generation Yaris, as the Welshman finished runner-up to Sebastien Ogier in the 2020 and 2021 title race. That said, Evans has shown a marked improvement behind the wheel of the GR Yaris Rally1 after a winless 2022, and this year has scored 40 points from the two asphalt rallies to date in Monte Carlo and Croatia, compared to Rovanpera’s 39. If this trend continues, then the championship will be set for a title decider.
