Evans makes successful WRC test return after injury
Last year’s runner-up in the World Rally Championship, Elfyn Evans, recently completed a successful pre-event test with the Toyota team in preparation for the season-opening Monte Carlo rally. This was his first test since recovering from a rib injury sustained in a biking accident. The test was conducted in icy conditions that are expected to be replicated during the rally. Evans mentioned that his feeling in the car was fine and that he is over the worst of his injury. He also shared his thoughts on the new points system in the WRC, stating that he is not a fan of the change as it devalues the value of winning a rally. Evans, along with Takamoto Katsuta and Sebastien Ogier, will be driving a Toyota GR Yaris in the upcoming Monte Carlo rally.
