WRC: Elfyn Evans second in CER as Thierry Neuville edges closer to title

Evans and co-driver Scott Martin – who were WRC runners-up in 2020, 2021 and 2023 – have a 19-point advantage over fouth-placed Ogier and are 15 points behind Tanak.

Neuville requires just six points at Rally Japan from 21-24 November to seal the 2024 title.

He finished third in the rally almost 40 seconds behind Estonian Tanak, having dropped out of contention for victory – and a chance to clinch the title – when he got stuck in a field on Saturday.

“We were in the rhythm on Friday, but after that a small mistake happened, we had to manage our race,” said Neuville.

“We would have wanted to bring home the title this weekend, but not at any price. After the mistake we understood it would not be for this weekend. But Japan is coming up and looking forward to it.

“Sorry for the mistake – but even world champions make mistakes.”

Hyundai Shell Mobis take a 15-point lead in the Manufacturers’ Championship into the final rally of the season. They have 526 points with Toyota Gazoo Racing on 511.
