Evans reflects on Central European Rally crash as WRC title hopes now remote
The Toyota driver, Elfyn Evans, admitted that his chances of winning the championship were slim before the rally, as he needed to outscore his teammate Kalle Rovanpera to keep his hopes alive for the final rally in Japan. However, these hopes were shattered when Evans crashed on stage 11, tearing off a rear wheel from his GR Yaris after colliding with a shed. Evans explained that the car locked an inside front wheel, causing them to go off the road. He also mentioned that the shed’s slab was uneven and sticking out, which caused the wheel to rip off. Despite the disappointment, Evans acknowledged the improvements made this season and expressed confidence in repairing the car to continue the rally on Sunday.
