Welshman shows his potential at Rally de Espana.
M-Sport Ford World Rally Team’s Elfyn Evans showed his potential at this weekend’s RallyRACC Catalunya – Rally de España, but the Cumbrian squad had hoped for more on the FIA World Rally Championship’s only mixed-surface event.
Starting well, Evans continued to showcase the pace of his EcoBoost-powered Ford Fiesta WRC on gravel and was never more than 10-15 seconds adrift of the lead before a misfire cost him 30 seconds through Friday’s closing stage (SS6).
Keen to regroup and demonstrate his skills on asphalt, the Welshman had another good start but struggled to maintain the same feeling. Then on the Power Stage he and co-driver Scott Martin found the sweet spot – reminding everyone what they and the Fiesta are capable of with the second fastest time and securing a strong haul of points to strengthen their championship position.
