It was an intense fight with our teammates throughout the weekend, and that always makes a victory feel even better when you’ve had to work so hard for it.
Thank you to @scottymartin_ and everyone for the support. 🇯🇵

That Winning feeling 🏆🍾
Very happy to take another win here in Japan. The GR Yaris Rally1 has been amazing on tarmac, and to finish the final sealed-surface rally for this era of car with a win is pretty special.
1/3

[Elfyn Evans @ElfynEvans]

Of course, this is Toyota’s home rally, so I’m especially happy and proud to deliver a third win here for the team. A huge thank you to everyone for all their hard work, and to Morizo-san for his constant support. This win is a small token of appreciation for the team.
2/3

"It was a clean enough run."

[Elfyn Evans @ElfynEvans]

Tomorrow looks like it will be more of the same, with some very technical and faster sections, quite a mixed route like the rest of the rally has been. It definitely won’t be easy, but we’ll do everything we can to secure the victory.

[Elfyn Evans @ElfynEvans]

It’s been a decent day in Japan 🇯🇵

I gave away a bit of time on the stages either side of lunch, which was disappointing, but otherwise it’s been a pretty good day overall. The conditions haven’t been easy, with very technical stages, so overall I’m reasonably happy. 1/2

“"I don't know about that [Ogier said he is 'uncatchable']. It's rallying at the end of the day, you know anything can happen. So we have to keep our head down and do the best job we can. That stage was fine. No drama."

Q. Are you in control of this rally?

"No way! Far too much driving to do! It’s a great time by Sami by the looks of it. Can be better obviously.”
