I'm watching a football match of my local team (Lechia Gdansk against Slask Wroclaw) at the same time and sorry, but it makes much more fun. Following Rallye du Valais is more like waiting which car breakes down next. FIA has turned this sport into a parody :(
Tactically a perfect race for him, I hope it will last until the finish line.

This one of Breen with his two spins is a must watch! I just love these stages!

What about the massively complex, super-fast Group B cars that regularly completed 45 stages, 1000+ road miles over 5 days ... 30 years ago ?!Quote:

Consani never has any luck. He needs to buy a SKODA for 2015.
Breen: "...Without the puncture I think we would have won. A great drive by Esapekka (Lappi). This has been good for the moment."
Quite a bold statement.
