The South American leg of the 2026 World Rally Championship is complete, and the title fight has intensified. Oliver Solberg emerged as a serious contender, while Thierry Neuville's struggles continued.
Solberg, who insisted before the event he still had a shot at the title, proved himself right. He capitalized on Elfyn Evans' puncture on the penultimate stage to close the gap to just 21 points. With a 34-point haul from a possible 35, Solberg is now a genuine threat.
For Evans, the result was disappointing. He still leads, but the margin could have been bigger. Fortunately for him, Sami Pajari had an off-color weekend, taking only three points from Evans' lead. The championship battle is tightening.
Toyota Gazoo Racing made history again. Their win in Chile brings them level with Lancia on 10 world titles. With their dominant form, they could surpass that in 2027. Toyota Gazoo Racing has won 11 of 12 events this season and could break another record.
At Hyundai, the contrast between Adrien Fourmaux and Thierry Neuville is stark. Fourmaux impressed, while Neuville struggled with the 'Evo' i20's setup. He prefers a stiff car, but the current car is too soft for his aggressive style. He won SS3 but was behind Fourmaux on every other stage before crashing out spectacularly.
Rally Chile 2026 highlighted the importance of consistency and adaptation. Solberg proved that determination and seizing opportunities can change the title race. Neuville, meanwhile, must find solutions quickly to stay competitive. With several rounds remaining, the 2026 WRC season is far from over.
For fans, the title fight is heating up. Solberg vs Evans vs Pajari, plus Toyota's dominance, adds spice. Don't miss the next round, as every point counts.
