First, Elfyn and Kalle are in strong championship positions especially now that the tricky gravel rounds are out of the way.

Third, Toyota's manufacturers' lead is very healthy, and if that situation were to change in the next few events, there would be plenty of opportunities later on in the season to lend a hand.
