The 2026 World Rally Championship will be decided in the Power Stage of the Sardinia Rally. While mathematically three Toyota drivers – Elfyn Evans, Oliver Solberg, and Sami Pajari – still have a chance at the title, the contest is realistically between two competitors. Only one special stage remains in the season. The championship outcome will be determined by performance on the Italian island of Sardinia. A dramatic turn occurred on Saturday, with championship leader Evans suffering a tire puncture on the penultimate special stage. The fate of the world championship now hangs in the balance.
