And that makes two for Elfyn Evans! After her victory in the Rally of Sweden, the leader of WRC managed to win the Rally Japan, which he dominated almost from start to finish. The Welshman, winner of five stages, finished 12,8 seconds ahead. Sébastien OgierHe was reluctant to chase down his opponent throughout the entire rally. For his part, Oliver Solberg was undoubtedly the most dangerous driver for his teammate Evans, but once again made a costly mistake. After Portugal, and his unfortunate puncture, the Swede went off the road during SS10, losing valuable time. Without this incident, things would undoubtedly have been different for the winner of the Power Stage and Super Sunday.
