In the last six World Rally Championship events, Elfyn Evans has won three rallies and finished second in the other three.
The championship leader is the form of his life right now. The common talking point was the disappearance of hybrid – but Evans, the team, and the fact his run of success began during the hybrid era have put that idea to bed.
What’s really going on? Our SPIN, The Rally Pod crew think they’ve finally cracked it. Colin Clark, George Donaldson and Brenten Kelly dive deeper into Evans’ success and the key narratives of last week’s WRC round on this week’s podcast.
What led to Hyundai being able to put in their best-ever Safari performance, even when half way through the rally it looked like it was headed for disaster yet again?

And is Takamoto Katsuta’s powerstage crash solely his cross to bear – or did his team fail to strategize correctly? It’s all addressed in this week’s episode.
