A world champion begrudgingly brought into contention, another world beater tripping over himself and a previous nearly-man gripping onto top spot for all he’s worth.
The 2024 World Rally Championship season may not have followed the narrative most of us expected, but it’s cooked up a thrilling battle with a conclusion set to be reached in the coming weeks and months.
But after a well-earned summer break, things are beginning to get serious with just four rounds left to run.
Thierry Neuville’s name sits atop the standings (as it has done all-season long after victory in Monte Carlo) but after a dramatic Rally Finland it’s now Sébastien Ogier who’s his chaser-in-chief ahead of long-term title rivals Ott Tänak and Elfyn Evans.
Can Neuville hold on and finally claim that elusive first world title, or will there be more surprises in store over the final four rallies of the season, starting with this week’s Acropolis Rally Greece?
Join David Evans, Colin Clark and Luke Barry on this week’s SPIN, The Rally Pod as they discuss it all, looking ahead to round 10 of the 2024 season.
