On this day 21 years ago, my favourite WRC season of all time concluded in Wales. Petter Solberg won the 2003 WRC Championship, in one of the best seasons this sport has ever seen. Across 14 rallies we saw 5 different drivers lead the championship, 6 different winners, as well as 11 drivers finish on the podium. Such was the level of competition, that after 13 rounds, 4 drivers headed to Wales Rally GB with a mathematical chance at the championship, with the four drivers separated by just 5 points! To honour this season, I decided to take a deep dive into all those rallies and stages, and see, which drivers were the fastest, which ones were the most reliable, and what were each of the title contenders' strengths.

Dimitris gives us a very detailed analysis of every driver's season so far, using advanced stats, a first in the WRC!
