Sami Pajari made World Rally Championship history with a third consecutive victory at Rally Paraguay, cutting Elfyn Evans’ championship lead to 20 points.
After taking a maiden win in Estonia followed by triumph in Finland, Pajari and co-driver Marko Salminen managed to tame Paraguay’s abrasive, constantly changing clay/gravel stages. The Toyota pairing claimed an impressive victory by 25.8s from Hyundai’s Hayden Paddon, who made his first top-tier WRC gravel start since 2018.
