Elfyn Evans will make his comeback on home soil in October’s Wales Rally GB. The Dolgellau-born racer missed the events in Finland and Germany after injuring his back in a non-championship rally in Estonia last month. Evans will also sit-out Rally Turkey on 12-15 September but specialists have given him the all-clear to drive his M-Sport Ford Fiesta WRC car in front of his home fans.

Elfyn Evans will make his comeback on home soil in October’s Wales Rally GB.

The Dolgellau-born racer missed the events in Finland and Germany after injuring his back in a non-championship rally in Estonia last month.

Evans will also sit-out Rally Turkey on 12-15 September but specialists have given him the all-clear to drive his M-Sport Ford Fiesta WRC car in front of his home fans.

The 30-year-old said: “I’m really looking forward to getting back behind the wheel again,” said Evans.

“However, it’s important that I’m 100 per cent before coming back, so I won’t be in Turkey, but our plan is to get behind the wheel again at Wales Rally GB.

“I’m now fully focussed on my training and rehab and working with experts to ensure I’m at full strength when I step inside the car again.”

Evans suffered the injury after a heavy landing in Estonia and his absence has seen him drop from fourth to sixth in the World Championship standings.
