After a disappointing result in Portugal, Evans has had to rebuild his confidence. As one of the most consistent drivers in the championship, Portugal hurt the young Welshman and he’ll be determined to make amends.
“This is a really fast event which will be a bit of a shock to the system after a series of relatively slow rallies, but I’m certainly looking forward to another new challenge,” said Evans.
“It’s always a challenge getting back into the flow of high-speed rallying and there are so many new stages to contend with this year.
“I think a lot will come down to the character and the nature of the stages themselves.
“Last year we saw something of an ebb and flow in terms of road position.
“Some stages saw a lot of cleaning, whereas others cut-up and become slower. We’ll have to wait and see how it is this year but either way we are in the middle of the pack.
“We won’t get the optimum advantage from road cleaning, but we shouldn’t be disadvantaged too much should the stages deteriorate.
“I think there have been some real positives over the past couple of rallies, but for various reasons some of the results haven’t quite been what we wanted.
“We need to refocus and concentrate on the positives.
“I really want to enjoy this one, and hopefully everything will come together for us.”
