Sami Pajari wins Rally Paraguay for third consecutive WRC victory

Three wins from three is a record no crew has ever managed in WRC, and the fact it belongs to Pajari and Salminen — still building their top-level résumé — says something real about how quickly they've found their footing. What makes it more than a statistical curiosity is the consistency: these aren't wins scattered across a career, they arrived back-to-back-to-back, which demands a level of sustained pace and reliability that even experienced crews rarely sustain. Toyota's infrastructure clearly plays a role, but the record is the crew's, and it sets a benchmark that will follow every future WRC debutant for comparison. The question the result quietly raises is whether this is a hot streak or the arrival of a genuine title contender — the answer will come from how they perform when conditions don't fall their way.
