Evans: Costly WRC Safari Rally punctures a “mystery”
“Evans began Saturday in second place, but fell to fifth after experiencing punctures in stages eight and 10. He encountered a left-rear failure in the opening test and a right rear puncture in the Sleeping Warrior stage. Evans was puzzled by the tire issues and couldn’t explain their cause. Despite the setbacks, he remained focused on driving well and continuing to push forward. Evans’ teammate, Katsuta, also suffered punctures, dropping to third behind Neuville. Rovanpera, driving steadily, maintained his lead, successfully navigating the challenging stages with all tires intact.”
