Kalle Rovanpera won the Rally of Central Europe on Sunday as Toyota sealed the manufacturers' world championship for the fifth year in a row. The double world champion's third win of his last season before switching to circuit racing left the Finn second overall in the championship, level on points with teammate Sebastien Ogier and 13 behind Elfyn Evans who reclaimed the overall lead.

"The drivers' championship still won't be easy but we have at least increased our chances with this result and we will try to continue like this on the next rally in Japan," said Rovanpera. Evans had been two points behind Ogier going into the weekend on the asphalt roads of Germany, Czech Republic and Austria.

The Welsh driver finished second on Sunday, 43.7 seconds behind, with Hyundai's Ott Tanak third.
