VARIOUS OF NASSER AL ATTIYA OF M-SPORT FORD WRT  STORY: This year's World Rally Championship will go down to the final race in Saudi Arabia, with just three points separating Elfyn Evans and Sebastien Ogier. Evans has long sat top of the leaderboard, but has seen his lead whittled away by Ogier, who has won three of the last four events, with Evans runner-up in each of them. The 36-year-old Welshman has finished second in four of the last five world championships but has never taken the sport's top prize, while Frenchman Ogier is looking to secure his ninth title and his first since 2021. To add a further twist, Finland's Kalle Rovanpera is also in with an outside chance of seizing the championship, but would require both Ogier and Evans to struggle in the deserts around Jeddah. Rally Saudi Arabia is making its debut in the WRC,  blending open desert speed and rocky technicality. (Production: Iain Axon)
