Elfyn Evans has vowed to “get back on it” when the FIA World Rally Championship returns to Europe next month, after being mysteriously off the pace on the Rally of Argentina – although the 29-year old driver from Dolgellau did finish sixth in South America and score more valuable WRC points.

But Evans should not feel despondent – after all, he finished just 1min 07.7secs behind team-mates and defending five time World Rally Champions Sébastien Ogier/Julien Ingrassia, who finished fourth in an identical Fiesta WRC, after almost four hours of flat-out competition.

Elfyn Evans has moved up to seventh position at the end of Day 2 of the Rally of Argentina, after a blistering performance through the foggy 25-mile SS11 saw him set the third fastest time and leapfrog two places.
