Elfyn Evans will try to keep the pressure on World Rally Championship rival Kalle Rovanpera at this weekend’s Central European Rally in a bid to keep his title hopes alive.
The Toyota driver heads into the all-new asphalt rally knowing he must outscore his team-mate to take the championship fight to the final round in Japan next month. Evans trails Rovanpera by 31 points ahead of this weekend’s penultimate round, which will present a new challenge to crews, who will travel across borders to tackle stages in the Czech Republic, Germany and Austria. Evans was 55 points adrift of Rovanpera following the latter’s domination of Rally Estonia in July.
“We know how things change quickly in this game and we will be trying everything we can, but of course we need two very strong rallies, and we never hope for bad luck on anybody, but realistically we need some issues or bad luck for Kalle to bring us back into contention. “But we will keep trying and put the pressure on and see what happens.
