Oliver Solberg and Elfyn Evans battle for lead at Rally Chile

The World Rally Championship continues on the gravel stages of Chile. In the Rally1 category, Oliver Solberg and Elfyn Evans are engaged in a close battle for the lead. Solberg won the first and third speed tests, while Evans won the second test, narrowly beating Solberg by 0.4 seconds.

Other notable competitors in the Rally1 class include Takamoto Katsuta, Sebastien Ogier, Thierry Neuville, and Esapekka Lappi. In the WRC2 class, Robert Virves holds a 100-point lead and is positioned to make significant progress toward the championship title, having won four out of five rallies this season.

Conditions on the stages have become increasingly muddy, creating significant gaps between the leaders and the rest of the field. Takamoto Katsuta retired from the rally during the first speed test.
