The racing was as exciting and controvertial as ever, but unless Ekstrom can continue that man JK looks in a class of his own.
BTW how the hell did they pick Natalie Barratt for the Projekt-E car ?

As that particular car is owned by a company with a rally background I wondered if there was some historical connection between them and Barratt, as I thought she was a surprising choice as well.
No doubt that Natalie has driven a range of cars, but you think that someone with more recent rallycross experience would be preferable for developing a new car."If in doubt... flat out!"

Natalie was for many WRC rallies run by OMV rally Team / Manfred Stohl Rally Team.
You do realise that STARD - the company behind this concept - is Manfred Stohl's company?
There are not so many complications in this decision....

There had to be a reason. They could've explained it on the TV coverage as they must've known fans would be puzzled.

It was on qualifying stage, he rolled the car and it was said that he won't be able to start the rally. But team managed to repair the car and he did start and dominated drivers like Rossel, Gryazin...
