Solberg Leads Sardinia, Pressure on Evans

Oliver Solberg took the lead in the Sardinia rally after Saturday's running, applying significant pressure on championship leader Elfyn Evans. The Norwegian-Swedish driver needs to gain 21 points on Evans to claim the championship title.

If Solberg wins and Evans finishes sixth, he would close 17 of the 21-point gap before the final round. Additional points are available for winning Sunday's stages and the final speed test. Finnish driver Sami Pajari remains in the title hunt as well. Solberg won two of three morning speed tests on Saturday, showing his determination in this crucial rally. chincha.pl
