š³ Oliver Solberg came within sight of a maiden WRC title before one final-stage mistake handed the 2026 championship to Elfyn Evans.
ā
Solberg entered Rally Italia Sardegna 21 points behind Evans, but a huge weekend brought the title fight all the way down to the final Wolf Power Stage.
ā
By Sunday, whoever was faster between the two Toyota teammates on that last stage would effectively decide the championship.
ā
Solberg was pushing for the time he needed when he went off near the end of the stage, ending his title bid just moments from the finish.
ā
Evans held on to become World Rally Champion for the first time, while Solberg still won the rally and finished the season as championship runner-up.
ā
It was one of those brutal motorsport moments where an entire season came down to a few final corners.
ā
Do you think Solberg will come back and win the title next year?
