WRC concludes in Italy — who will emerge as the champion?

📰 Read the full article: https://sports-podcasts.com/en/episode/il-rally-italia-sardegna-chiude-il-wrc-chi-sara-il-campione/ The Saudi Arabia Rally, scheduled from November 12 to 15, will not count towards the WRC. The season officially concludes with the Rally Italia Sardegna, set to take place from October 1 to 4. This decision radically changes the dynamics of the championship, with the Italian event becoming crucial for the title race. The FIA canceled the Arabian race due to ongoing uncertainty in the region, which made logistical organization difficult. Car manufacturers refused to authorize participation in high-risk areas for insurance reasons. Despite the cancellation of the WRC, the Saudi Arabia Rally will still take place as a round of the FIA Middle East Rally Championship (MERC). The battle for the WRC 2026 title intensifies, with Elfyn Evans and Sami Pajari separated by just 17 points, ready to face off in the challenging Sardinian special stages. Mohammed Ben Sulayem, president of the FIA, confirmed efforts to find alternative solutions, but the current situation has made it impossible to hold the event as planned. The FIA is already looking to the future, aiming to bring the WRC back to Saudi Arabia in 2027. #WRC2026 #RallySaudiArabia #FIAWorldRallyChampionship #WRC #Rally #Motorsport #sports #podcast 🏆 More Wrc podcasts: https://sports-podcasts.com/en/sport/wrc/ 🎧 Listen to the full playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLoWFEoIqbbFvypZ5JaUPiUcQ7dMN-OW5P
