Despite the disappointment about losing his maiden WRC win in Argentina yesterday, British rally super star Elfyn Evans feels that he has just as good a chance in taking that maiden win Portugal later this month.
When pressed further Evans said that he feels that team sponsor and tyre supplier DMACK can give him the right rubber.
Undoubtedly some of Evans pace advantage on the punishing Argentinean stages were down to DMACK’s new medium compound rubber which had the edge over his Michelin shod rivals as they were ideal for the conditions. The same conditions are expected in Portugal!
When asked what he thought his chances may be in Portugal, he was confident.
"Let's wait and see, but if the conditions are right then why not?,” he said. "We have to be pleased with the new DMACK tyre. We didn't really get a fair opportunity to show what it could do in Mexico and here it showed the potential it has.
"On a personal basis it will give a lot of confidence moving forward to the rallies coming up,” he added. "We have to look at it on the positive side and move forward."
