Who’s most likely to win Secto Rally Finland? It’s hard to look past the part-timers: Toyota is in the box seat with Kalle Rovanperä and Sébastien Ogier, as was the case at the previous fast gravel event, Rally Latvia.
But on this week’s SPIN, The Rally Pod, DirtFish made a point to look past those part-timers and focus on a title race that’s rapidly ramping up in intensity.
Thierry Neuville’s lead is being rapidly eaten into across the European fast gravel season – so his team-mate Ott Tänak’s pace on those rallies in the same car rattled him somewhat? And is Elfyn Evans taking the right approach with his seemingly steady approach to rallies and not following the points permutations in real-time, as he has sometimes claimed?
Colin Clark is joined by David Evans and Brenten Kelly to discuss those points. There’s also discussion about Sami Pajari’s long-awaited Rally1 debut this week and how the variable weather forecast might shift the dynamic of the rally ahead.
