Not many European drivers in other classes.
Not many UK competitors in Rally2 cars.
It won’t be in the championship much longer.

Title fight is on:

Interesting start for Andrea Mabellini, 2 minute penalty in leg 1.....

Mabellini is exceptionally lucky not to have been excluded in my opinion.
Breaking the rules with team members on recce is one thing, trying to cover it up and bullshit the stewards is another.
If he wasn't in the championship fight, I think he probably would have been excluded.
edit: I'm glad that the stewards published such an in-depth report, it will hopefully stop any rumours of favouritism etc. Transparency in such cases is good for the sport.
There are not enough words to describe how stupid this behaviour was, and generally, since the beginning of the trip to Wales, the tuner serving Mabellini and Lenzi has been acting like amateurs. Not for the first time this season...
Rules are rules, but what a pity this has spoilt a great prospective battle here between the top two in the ERC title race.
Problems for Allen already in free practice:
