WRC drivers to follow in 2024:

Since Sébastien Loeb and Sébastien Ogier took a step back from the WRC, the young Finnish Kalle RovanperÀ has taken the torch by winning two world championship titles. But the new star of the discipline decided not to take part in the full season, leaving the pursuers to compete for the world title. Often 2nd but never champions, Thierry Neuville (Hyundai) and Elfyn Evans (Toyota) will undoubtedly compete for final victory. Watch out for Ott TÀnak (Hyundai) and Takamoto Katsuta (Toyota), who will try to spoil the party. The Frenchman Adrien Fourmaux will aim for the podiums.
