How come Elfyn Evans isn't on seeded order entrylist :confused:

It's the WRC Academy round in France a week later - so he's saving his car for that.

OK thanks AndyRAC ;)

Not sure - I tweeted MNews wondering why Evans wasn't doing the Trackrod, and that was what I was told.

I tweeted MNews asking why he wasn't entered; as he's unlikely to win the event because he's in a R2 Fiesta, he is preparing for France.

??? Is it the same car? I thought he was just making sure he was personally in one piece. - just checked, BRC car has a different number plate and livery (at least it did on the Pirelli)
Edit: Just seen the rest of the thread... Think it's a load of bull that he 'doesn't think he can win in an R2' Looked just fine in Kielder last spring when beating the DS3s. Sounds like a journ making it up as he goes along!

I personally think that EE is putting 101% effort on the WRC Acdemy in France. Therefore it´s maybe better to rest and train some tarmac before next weekend.

And BTW, he is already British R2 Champion plus there is not so good chances for him to take British OA Champion due the point scoring system: You can leave one out and EE got good points from all of the rallies...
