There's plenty of intrigue surrounding the 2024 World Rally Championship season, which begins this week with its annual visit to Monte Carlo. The championship has been blown wide open following the news that reigning world champion Kalle Rovanpera has opted to run part-time to recharge his batteries for a full-time return in 2025. Rovanpera’s absence means the title battle will likely be fought between Toyota’s Elfyn Evans, a three-time championship runner-up, and the Hyundai duo of 2019 world champion Ott Tanak and five-time runner-up Thierry Neuville.
