To public opinion it was easier to keep pushing the spectator’s behaviour key...
Somehow this prejudice leaded organizers to look for different locations. The much less crowded Algarve come out, hold up by magnificent stages and handy facilities – hotels, airport, stadium, etc. – highly suitable to clover leaf rally format.
It’s soon to say that Portugal rally will come back to his inborn scenery, the North, but today exhibition won’t surely be forgotten.
Two things I noticed - Elena is without a balaclava and Lehtinen probably had a problem with helmet's intercom. He's got a recce headset plugged in and holding the mic with his left hand.
