I'm an M-Sport fan, but parachuting in Jon Armstrong to score the BRC Teams points was already rather petty in their battle with the Castrol MEM Team.

I think the Ingrams are a lot pettier.
What was the feedback regards the event? Did the Europeans like the roads and has there been much kickback re the cancelled/red flagged stages? Seems to be an issue with UK closed roads although obviously not as unfortunate as the NW Stages earlier this year. Looking enviously at some of the footage on YT over the weekend and seeing where people could get access to will certainly be on my agenda for 2025.
I didnt hear a bad word about anything. The stages seemed to get re-started fairly quickly after crashes and there were no issues with fans.Quote:

Obviously a good event for photographers :)

I've resisted saying anything, but it isn't just internet trolling. Jon was out on the stages on Saturday telling random spectators that Paddon will/should be investigated, hasn't shown this form all season, had just got back from Italy with a special engine upgrade... It was comical to hear of this kind of mixture of old school rallying tittle-tattle and real life internet trolling in person, actually coming from someone who's reputation proceeds them, but also quite odd! I don't think he's doing Chris any favours in this regard, really. Rallying is a very small bubble...Quote:

His and his dads behaviour on social media would be a big turn off for meQuote:

Three best drivers in ERC on a walk, wondering - who will grab the title in Silesia? ;)
