The World Rally Championship title can be won this weekend – but only by Elfyn Evans.

While unlikely, if Evans outscores his two Toyota team-mates Sébastien Ogier and Kalle Rovanperä by 23 points he will secure the championship one round early in Japan.

At the other end of the equation, Ott Tänak must outscore Evans by at least 16 points to just remain in contention at the Saudi Arabian season finale.

The stakes could not be higher this week for the four remaining title contenders. Colin Clark and David Evans join host Luke Barry on SPIN, The Rally Pod to discuss all the permutations, and their predictions for this year’s Rally Japan.
