Elfyn Evans has finally claimed his maiden World Rally Championship title, ending a 25-year wait for a British champion. The Welsh driver secured the victory in a dramatic season finale at Rally Italia Sardegna.
Evans' triumph came after his closest rival, Oliver Solberg, crashed out just two corners from the finish line on the final Power Stage. Solberg had been on course to clinch the championship himself, but his hopes were shattered by the late incident, allowing Evans to inherit the crown. This marks a significant achievement for Evans, who had been the championship runner-up five times in the previous six seasons.
