Elfyn Evans bounces back in WRC-2 with M-Sport

Aligned since 2014 with Fiesta RS WRC from home M-Sport, Elfyn Evans had not been “selected” among the drivers of the flagship car of Malcolm Wilson’s team for 2016, Mads Ostberg and Frenchman Eric Camilli defending the colors of the British team in the premier category.

The 27-year-old Welshman will, however, still be playing with M-Sport this season but in WRC-2, in a Ford Fiesta R5 which will receive a new battery of updates next March. “This program will allow me to continue my development and gain more experience in World Championship events.

I know the Ford Fiesta R5 is a competitive car and the updates look extremely promising. I can't wait to get back behind the wheel. » comments Evans, who will also change co-driver, since Daniel Barritt will be replaced by Craig Parry. Monte-Carlo and Sweden are already on the duo's program for the start of the season.
