Elfyn Evans reclaimed the World Rally Championship lead as he finished fourth at Rally Finland in a race won by home driver Kalle Rovanpera. The Welshman could not keep up with Rovanpera's record-breaking pace as Toyota became the first manufacturer to fill the top five places in a race since Lancia did so at Rally de Portugal in 1990.

Kalle Rovanpera and co-driver Jonne Halttunen ended an eight-year wait for a home winner at Rally Finland, claiming victory in record-breaking fashion after a near-flawless performance in their Toyota GR Yaris Rally1.

Toyota is on course for a Rally Finland top-five lockout after Hyundai’s Thierry Neuville and Adrien Fourmaux witnessed their World Rally Championship victory hopes vanish following punctures.
