I think Glenn has moved to live in NZ so I guess long flights from Auckland to the rallies, mainly in Europe gets to you eventually.

it's not any need for panic, nor had it been a panicked scenario...

I think Robert Reid would be a great choice and will bring much needed experience into Chris's car.
Chris is doing slowly better and better.. The thing here is that despite Atko's performance, Glenn said he didn't want to continue being codriver because he wanted to do some new stuff.. Is it bull**** or is he saying the truth?
I don't think he got off the car because of Chrises crashes.
Having met Glenn, I can honestly say that he is very very nice bloke and I am just wondering if he is cut out for life of the WRC circus? I am led to believe that Chris recently moved to Monaco and is fitting in quite well with the high rolling lifestyle but Glenn still has his roots firmly planted back in the Southern Hemisphere.
Maybe this 'moving apart' between the two of them has lead Glenn to question his involvement and the crash in Portugal just convinced him he had enough.
Another thought which fits in with the above scenario is that Chris openly admits that he missed a pace note which caused the crash; maybe they are not working as well together any more.
I will also add that he seemed very happy in February during the Rally of Sweden - things have obviously changed.
I hope that Chris can rebound from this and try and save what could possibly be his final year but more importantly hope that Glenn finds what he is looking for.

1st pass of the recce, driver tells co-driver what notes he wants. Co-driver writes it down.
2nd pass of the recce, co-driver reads notes to driver. Driver tells co-driver what changes, additions, or redactions he wants. Co-driver adjusts notes.
During the rally, same as 2nd pass, only a bit faster, and the changes are a lot less frequent and the writing is less neat. :)
