Reigning Wales Rally GB driver Elfyn Evans struggled to find form on last night’s opening stage of this year’s event at Tir Prince.
Finland’s Esapekka Lappi won the speed test at Tir Prince trotting track and adjoining roads at Llandudno and swept around the 1.70km course in 1min 21.6secs, beating compatriot Jari-Matti Latvala by 0.3secs.
Elfyn Evans was the top British finisher, three second behind Lappi in 13th.
