Evans hunts Corsica victory

Press release available only in original language. 

M-Sport Ford World #rally Teams #elfynevans and #scottmartin are hunting a #tourdecorse victory this weekend. Having shown rally-winning pace behind the wheel of their EcoBoost- powered #fordfiesta WRC, the British pairing are just 4.5 seconds shy of the lead and determined to push for the win on tomorrows closing stages.

Locked in an intense battle with Ott Tänak, the two former team mates traded times throughout much of the day. The Estonian had the advantage over the morning loop, but Evans fought back in the afternoon – cutting Tänak’s lead through the second pass of Cap Corse (SS10) and regaining the top spot when the Estonian was forced to stop and change a puncture on the following speed test (SS11).

With Tänak dropping from the fight at the front, an old rivalry was reignited – Evans verses Neuville for the win once more. The Welshman had been quicker than the Belgian all weekend and had the upper hand going into the final stage (SS12), but thats where Neuville came alive posting the fastest time and snatching the lead in the process.

With just 4.5 second separating the battling duo, the stage is set for another thrilling final day and Evans is hungry for another Fiesta victory!

In the sister Fiesta, #teemusuninen and Marko Salminen continued to outperform a number of their vastly more experienced rivals. Despite having never experienced the Corsican stages with the power and performance of a world #rally car, the Finns hold an impressive fifth place overall.
