So it seems still problems for m-sport and they still can't get the car working for the champ, two more rounds and we have passed half the season. If neuville continues his form then it will be very hard for ogier to defend the title

It is going to be a thriller.

Until Ogier starts to see DNFs from unreliability, or he starts to make mistakes pushing too hard, then I am not worried for him. Let's hope we get the close fight.

If Neuville keeps his winning streak up and Ogier misses the podium a couple of times it is neck and neck already. Ogier really needs to find some more speed. What he has on his side is not making hasty errors and he only pushes when he has the confidence. A lot of it will be down to Neuville not losing his head like at the start of the season.

Evans did only four runs between 15:15 and 16:30. At that time, his test ended (half an hour before the scheduled time). When we arrived, he was complaining about spectators placed at dangerous places. The way I see it, both facts are related.
Moreover, we had a lot of problems to reach the stage. A GNR didn't allow us to enter through the usual access, sending people to another one some kilometres away. Fortunately, I know the old end of the historical stage Arcos-Portela, which we used. I hadn't walked that road since the nineties. I have many photos taken there, for example of KKK & Auriol with their Toyotas and Sainz & McRae on Subarus. This walk saved the day.
These are the pics I took of Evans:






Job done (momentarily) for the mechanics. Nice hearing their toast with beer bottles:
