Elfyn Evans stormed to victory at Secto Automotive Rally Finland on Sunday afternoon to keep alive his hopes of a maiden FIA World Rally Championship title.
A stunning series of five back-to-back speed test wins on Friday night and Saturday morning propelled the Welshman from fifth to first. He survived intense pressure from Ott Tänak and Craig Breen across the rest of the rally to win by 14.1sec in a Toyota Yaris.
Nothing less than victory would suffice in his title quest and with maximum points for winning the closing Wolf Power Stage, the Welshman slashed championship leader Sébastien Ogier’s advantage from 44 points to 24 with two rounds remaining.
“This one feels good in the way we managed to do it,” smiled Evans, for whom this was a fifth career win. “We struggled a lot [on the fast roads] in Estonia and we made some changes to the car in the test and found some confidence early on.
“I always said from the outset the aim was to do the best on each rally we have left. We have to just focus on doing our best in [the next round] in Spain and worry about the rest later.”
His Toyota Gazoo Racing team is based near the host city of Jyväskylä and victory preserved its unbeaten Rally Finland record since returning to the WRC in 2017. Toyota also increased its manufacturers’ championship lead over Hyundai Motorsport to 61 points.
Against a backdrop of stunning autumnal colours in the forests, the championship’s fastest roads provided tremendous action and Tänak and Breen both led on the opening day in a furious battle in their Hyundai i20s.
Ultimately, they had no answer to Evans’ pace, but set-up improvements midway through Saturday gave Tänak more confidence and he eased clear of Breen to finish 28.1sec ahead.
Despite an overshoot at a junction on Sunday morning, the Irishman bagged his third podium from his last three outings and matched his 2016 result.
Esapekka Lappi, winner in 2017, made a remarkable return to top-level competition in a privately-entered Yaris after 10 months away. The Finn was in the thick of the podium battle in the opening leg and eventually finished fourth, 16.6sec behind Breen.
Ogier ended fifth after a lacklustre drive in his Yaris. He never had the pace to match the leading quartet and a disappointing weekend was made worse when he was hit with a 60sec penalty on Saturday night for not fastening his crash helmet strap correctly earlier in the day.
Gus Greensmith completed the top six in a Ford Fiesta.
The WRC returns to asphalt for the penultimate round at RallyRACC Rally de España on 14 - 17 October. The fixture is based in Salou.
Final positions:
1. E Evans / S Martin GBR Toyota Yaris 2hr 19min 13.7sec
2. O Tänak / M Järveoja EST Hyundai i20 +14.1sec
3. C Breen / P Nagle IRL Hyundai i20 +42.2sec
4. E Lappi / J Ferm FIN Toyota Yaris +58.8sec
5. S Ogier / J Ingrassia FRA Toyota Yaris +2min 54.4sec
6. G Greensmith / C Patterson GBR Ford Fiesta +5min 02.3sec

2. E Evans 166pts

Elvin, pure talent. Zero ego .☝
Congs Evans, you really struggled in Estonia, this has bn the best come back ever...
Congratulations Elfyn and Toyota.
So many drivers near the front this year. Evans, Ogier, Neuville, Breen, Tanak, and now Rovanpera too.
Just when I think Finland couldn't get anymore impressive, Adrien jumps like that!
Btw, those forests look very coo!
I was there and I can tell you it looked sick in real life 😮
@@anttikalpio4577 Oh wow! Cool!
@Henkka Haha yes!
Not sure what is the most impressive: the length of the jump or the suspension at landing
Seriously Well Done Elfyn , Absolutely Brilliant 👏👍😃
this channel is doing gods work
Team: no chance of winning
Fourmaux: send it
Good Morning Red Bull
Thank you Red Bull fantastic job💯👏👏👏👍👍👍🇧🇧
Glad you enjoyed it
Spectacular Coverage, Red Bull Rally.. A lot of people did NOT predict this would be the final tally, when the dust cleared.
We'll see you in Spain... Thanks again, for Job well done!!!
Adrien.. dude! You need a flight pass since you don't need roads!! Holy heck!
0:03 大ジャーンプ！
24 points with only two rounds to go
Unless Olgier finishes out of the point or DNF, which is possible but very unlikely, I think Evans will have to wait for another year.
cars can't fly!
Formeaux: Hold my beer
#givesyouwiiings
@@RedBullRally dang it, why didn't I think of that
Hold my baguette...
My TÄNAK being second, not bad at all... congs too Ott TÄNAK
Yeah that jump was great!!
I wish win for Finland
Great video! 👍👌
Nice!
Do these drivers have a pilots license
pull up pull up terrain...lolz
I wish I can witness this game in real life😞😞😞
Great news 🏴
Toyota 🤩🤩
Compared to these guys, how fast do you think you can go? Same car (lets say public subaru wrx 2010 no mods) same stage lets say 25 kilometers long how much would you be behind? Id say about 6 minutes for me.
This is not the same event as in august
@ 3:15 what you came for
Ford 68 m ?
What the hell is a "Toyota Gazoo"?!
Spain is a mixed event (tarmac + gravel)
Iam waiting for Rally India
Never lol
Driving between slums around millions of people. Yeah, cannot wait
@@max27stoner clearly a foreigner who has never seen anything other than his home country. Keep up your ignorance lad.
@@zeustheboerboel3794 just the truth. India is the most populated and polluted country in the world alongside China. The crime is high and too many are poor. Not fully people’s fault, but yeah what can I say. India is not the right place for World Rally Championship round. Wake up
@@max27stoner Read your previous comment. "Driving around in slums around millions of people", this means that the whole country consists of slums and there are people everywhere you go, which is not true. Himalayan Hills, Ladakh, Shimla and many more places are sparsely populated and are an ideal spot to host rally championships. You do not know anything about India.
Lol 3:13
Kinda silly with the mouth coverings😝
It's dumb shit
first
Toyota got Corona
