Top rallying journalist David Evans is joining DirtFish as senior staff writer to lead its coverage of the World Rally Championship.

Englishman Evans reported on the WRC for Autosport and Motorsport News for more than two decades and will now fill a similar role on DirtFish.com as part of the company’s new project to create the ultimate website for the rallying and rallycross communities.

As rallying correspondent for the top two UK motorsport publications, Evans has been in the thick of every major WRC story of the 21st century so far – building up huge respect in the industry for his writing and his relentless news-chasing approach.

Evans will join Colin Clark in reporting for DirtFish from every WRC rally, plus selected American Rally Association rounds and other events around the world.

His role will include videos and podcasts as well as written articles ranging from the breaking news and hard-hitting opinion columns for which he is renowned to behind the scenes tales from the service parks, exclusive interviews with rallying greats past and present, and in-depth analysis of every WRC round published early on the Monday after the finish.
