GILL Shows Front-Running WRC2 Speed as Solberg Dominates Rally Chile

September 14, 2026

• Australian TAYLOR GILL delivered genuine front-running WRC2 pace in Chile, fighting among podium contenders before a tyre delamination cost 30 seconds. Finished fourth but matched benchmark Rally2 pace on Sunday, just 0.7s off fastest across four stages.
• GILL’s Chile performance marked significant progression from Paraguay’s attrition-based fourth place. In only his second Škoda Fabia RS Rally2 drive with Toksport, he consistently matched drivers with considerably more Rally2 experience throughout the weekend.
• The Australian’s measured Friday approach evolved into increased Saturday pace exactly as planned with co-driver Daniel BRKIC. Sunday’s speed proved most encouraging, demonstrating he can fight WRC2 frontrunners directly rather than simply capitalizing on others’ mistakes.
• GILL completed all five 2026 WRC events without damage, extending his finish streak to 15 consecutive rallies. For a driver on limited budget seeking 2027 opportunities, the South American double-header provided compelling evidence of world-class potential and consistency.
