Sami Pajari Excluded Following Croatia Rally Incident Following a significant incident during the Croatia Rally on April 14th, 2026, Toyota driver Sami Pajari has been removed from the championship standings. The event, marked by several challenging attempts for competing drivers, resulted in a serious accident during the 14th stage. The rally saw initial difficulties for Toyota drivers Oliver Solberg and Elfyn Evans, leading to their withdrawal from competition. This created a dynamic race for the lead between Katsuta, piloting a Toyota, and fellow competitors including Hyundai’s Thierry Neuville. During the 14th speed test, characterized by loose gravel and stones on the asphalt, both Katsuta and Pajari experienced tire punctures. This occurred after Katsuta had demonstrated promising progress in the preceding 13th attempt. The challenging conditions significantly impacted tire performance for all involved drivers. After the incident, the team made the decision to remove Pajari from the competition. The focus now shifts to the remaining stages of the rally and the ongoing battle for overall victory. The event highlighted the demanding nature of the WRC and the critical importance of navigating varied terrain.
