WRC – Evans capable of being in the top five at Monte-Carlo?

Elfyn Evans only has one full season played in WRC, but the pilot M-Sport a montré de belles qualités au volant de la Ford Fiesta RS WRC avec laquelle il a pris eighth place in the Championship. The Welshman is preparing to begin his second season with Malcolm Wilson's structure with the 83th Rally Monte Carlo played next week.

The British team driver made a promising debut at the inaugural round of the Championship last year, taking sixth place. “We had little experience with the Fiesta RS WRC and had not competed in Monte Carlo before. So we had a lot to learn”, explains Elfyn Evans. “It was quite a tricky position but everything seems more familiar this year, especially the car. The event remains very difficult but we are still impatient to be at the start after a full season. »

Elfyn Evans is aware that a good result will be difficult to achieve. This edition promises to be particularly demanding with the list of entrants which includes Sébastien Loeb. “It would be fantastic to get a good finish to start the season. I will be happy if we manage to show bursts of speed while remaining consistent. »
