Sami Pajari takes the lead at Rally Croatia after both Elfyn Evans and Oliver Solberg crash out in dramatic fashion. This turn of events sets the stage for an intense competition as Pajari aims for his first WRC victory.
After completing a challenging morning loop, Pajari sits 8.4 seconds ahead of Takamoto Katsuta, with Thierry Neuville just 0.3 seconds behind in third. Solberg's early exit came after a spin 4.8 km into the first stage, leaving fans scrambling to assist but unable to free his Toyota GR Yaris.
Evans initially dominated but misjudged a corner in stage three, resulting in a high-speed off-road incident. Despite the crashes, the rally remains highly competitive, with Pajari now leading Neuville by just 2.7 seconds. The stakes are higher than ever as the battle for the rally title heats up.
