🗣️'We have a clearer direction on how to make the car work a bit better for me.' Two-time WRC runner-up ElfynEvans is confident he can make the Toyota GR Yaris suit his driving style better next year after a disappointing 2022 OfficialWRC campaign ⬇️
The WRC runner-up in 2020 and 2021 has struggled to gel with the new hybrid Rally1 machinery as well as his team-mates, most notably Kalle Rovanpera, who claimed six wins on his way to the WRC title.
The 33-year-old scored four second place finishes during the year and was firmly in the fight for victory at Rally Japan last weekend until a puncture on Sunday robbed him a chance to challenge Hyundai’s Thierry Neuville for the win.Although gutted to see a victory chance slip, Evans declared that he had made a “massive step forward” with the GR Yaris following a tough run to sixth on tarmac in Spain prior to the trip to Japan.
“It is massively disappointing for me and the team also, but at least the positive is that we have made a massive step forward from where we were in Spain, so at least we have that to take away in the back pocket for next year.
