Puncture for Evans, 13.9 seconds off the podium, Katsuta now third, was so disappointed for Evans. A Hyundai 1-2 for now.
Hard season for Evans from the beginning to the end.
A bit of a big blow for Toyota to see Hyundai in 1-2 position in their home rally; some team orders to come from the brand to secure Katsuta 3rd spot and hide the failure with some marketing?
Perhaps Breen is just following a team order to be as safe as possible to get the car home in one piece? After all, he's not going to get a decent result here no matter how fast he goes, and I doubt the team cares about evaluating his performance. So from the team's point of view, why risk flushing money down the drain by having him pointlessly destroy another car?
Nothing to gain with power stage points for Breen either so wouldn't it be better to just do some testing...
Oh.. started raining and SS18 delayed.. ffs
