In Sweden, the final day begins under Evans' leadership

Elfyn Evans leads the final day of the World Rally Championship event in Sweden, ahead of his teammates and local drivers.

Elfyn Evans of Toyota is leading the final day of the World Rally Championship event in Sweden, having moved into first place after finishing the previous day in second. Just behind him are his teammates Takamoto Katsuta and Sami Pajari, positioned second and third, respectively. Local driver Oliver Solberg is placed fourth but is not far behind, with Hyundai drivers Esapekka Lappi and Adrien Fourmaux trailing him. The competition remains fierce as the final three special stages are set for Sunday.

On Saturday, Evans secured his lead as he dominated the first special stage of the day, marking a significant turnaround in his performance from Friday. This change exemplifies the competitive nature of rally racing, where positions can shift rapidly. Solberg also improved his standings throughout the day, overtaking two Hyundai competitors, which highlights the intense rivalry present in the event.

In the WRC2 category, Romet JΓΌrgenson faced a setback by driving off the road during the 12th special stage, which ended his day prematurely, although he and his co-driver are reportedly safe. As the event approaches its conclusion, all eyes will be on Evans, as he aims to maintain his lead over his increasingly competitive teammates and challengers during the last three stages of the competition.
