Last year’s title runner-up joined up with the Toyota squad for a pre-event asphalt test on Friday ahead of the annual Monte Carlo opener from 25-28 January.
The outing was the Welshman’s first since suffering a rib injury caused in a bike accident that forced him to miss the end of season FIA prize giving in Baku and some test running in Finland last month while he completed his recovery.
Evans managed to successfully complete the test and is over the worst of the injury now, explaining that he felt fine in the car.
The test was conducted in tricky icy conditions which crews are expecting to be replicated when the rally gets underway later this month.
“The feeling is getting better all of the time,” said Evans.
“It was not the ideal off-season but nonetheless we are over the worst of it now and the feeling in the car is fine, so that is the important thing and that will be the last we need to hear about it now.
“We started with some pretty difficult conditions already with some black ice to start my test. It is never nice when it is like that, and it is very difficult to judge the speed, but that is what this rally is all about.
