Elfyn Evans exits Safari Rally Kenya, marking his first World Rally Championship retirement since September 2024. The Toyota driver sits second, 22.6 seconds behind leader Oliver Solberg when a right rear suspension failure strikes at the start of Stage 13. Damage proves too severe for repairs. Evans attributes the issue to a double puncture caused by a rock during the newly modified Stage 12. He criticizes the organizers, calling the route changes an "absolute joke." Despite his disappointment, Evans reflects on his impressive run of 19 rallies without retirements, finishing in the top six every time. He plans to rejoin the rally on Sunday for 10 Super Sunday points, alongside Toyota teammates Oliver Solberg and Sebastien Ogier, who also retired after Stage 13.
