The most recent round of the 2024 WRC season was once again won by a part-time driver, as the reigning double world champion Kalle Rovanpera claimed victory at Rally Poland following a last-minute call-up to stand in for the injured Sebastien Ogier.
That means the Toyota driver and his team-mate Ogier, who is also contesting part-time in 2024, have won four of the last five rounds leaving a very open championship fight amongst full-time competitors.
Hyundai’s Thierry Neuville currently leads but he is only 15 points ahead of second-place Elfyn Evans, after the Toyota driver cut his deficit with a runner-up finish in Poland compared to fourth for the Belgian.
Both drivers are vying for their first world title but are struggling to claim victories this year with only one win for Neuville, which came at the season-opener and none for
The 2019 world champion Ott Tanak is still in the fight though, as the Rally Sardinia winner is only six points behind Evans despite crashing from the lead on the Friday in
Tanak still scored 11 points that weekend though to keep him in the championship fight, after topping Rally Poland’s Sunday standings and finishing second in the Power Stage under the new points system for 2024.
The fight for the manufacturers’ championship is also very tight with Hyundai leading Toyota by just 10 points, despite the Japanese squad having won more rallies. Toyota will field both Ogier and Rovanpera this weekend in a bid to secure valuable championship points.
So, the WRC arrives in Latvia this weekend with both titles still up for grabs in what will be a series debut for the country, which had been part of the European Rally Championship since 2013.
Local hero Martins Sesks has won the last two editions of Rally Latvia, and he will be driving for M-Sport this weekend, after finishing fifth in Poland on his Rally1 debut that came piloting a non-hybrid powered Ford Puma. This weekend he will have the boost of 130 more horsepower from the hybrid version.
So, will Sesks improve in front of his home crowd? Here is how and when to watch the WRC’s Rally Latvia in 2024.
