WRC Monte Carlo: Evans makes perfect start to new season
During the opening stages of the rally, last year’s runner-up established a significant lead over Thierry Neuville from Hyundai. It was a challenging evening for Hyundai as all three of their entries encountered problems, including Ott Tanak battling a throttle problem and finishing in fourth place. Adrien Fourmaux made a strong return with M-Sport, securing fifth place. Evans set the fastest time in the first stage of the season, while Tanak came the closest to beating him despite his throttle issues. Evans continued his impressive start by winning the second stage as well.
