WRC 2026 Rally Finland Results and Standings

August 3, 2026

Sami Pajari survived one of the most dramatic editions of Rally Finland in recent memory to claim his second consecutive World Rally Championship win.

Pajari and co-driver Marko Salminen managed their pace to secure victory by 26.7 seconds over Toyota teammate Oliver Solberg, while championship leader Elfyn Evans completed the podium in third.

Adrien Fourmaux was the best Hyundai in fourth, while teammate Thierry Neuville salvaged fifth place overall despite suffering front-left suspension damage on Friday.

Takamoto Katsuta slid to sixth after striking trees in the Power Stage, followed by Josh McErlean who was the only M-Sport driver to complete the entire event without retiring from a leg.

Estonian driver Robert Virves, meanwhile, took his fourth Rally2 victory in his Škoda Fabia RS Rally2 co-driven by Jakko Viilo.

Teemu Suninen took second in his Toyota GR Yaris Rally2 but was not without controversy, having been handed a 30-second time penalty on Sunday for failing to stop for a fellow competitor’s accident during stage 11. Lauri Joona completed the WRC2 podium in third.

Here are the results and updated 2026 WRC Standings after Rally Finland.
