Evans leads Tour de Corse

Press release available only in original language. 

M-Sport Ford World #rally Teams #elfynevans and #scottmartin are leading the way at this weekends Tour de Corse – posting three fastest stage times and holding a 4.5 second advantage over Ott Tänak.

The Welshman made his intent clear from the start with the fastest time through the opening speed test – proving that he and the EcoBoost-powered #fordfiestawrc have as much speed on asphalt as they do on gravel.

Evans may have slipped to second on the second stage, but his desire and determination to succeed came to the fore. Working hard over the midday regroup, he and Martin perfected their notes and were the ones to beat over the afternoon loop.

A further two fastest times could have been joined by another on the final speed test, but the Welshman lost out when stuck behind an ailing Kris Meeke.

In the interest of fairness, Evans was awarded the same time as Tänak and the two former team mates are set to continue their fight as the weekend continues.

Further down the field, Teemu Suninen and Marko Salminen were under strict instruction to finish the #rally and make it through all of the stages unscathed. Yet despite taking minimal risks, the Finns also proved competitive.

Tackling the Corsican stages for the first time with the power and performance of the top- specification Fiesta, Suninen currently holds fifth place and is outperforming those with considerably more experience.
