I'm still not sure how far off the pace the Proton is. No way is it up there with the works Rally2s, but I don't think it's ridiculously far off. Oliver Mellors certainly isn't the quickest British driver and he wasn't massively off the pace of Matt Edwards on the Cambrian, on stages the latter knows like the back of his hand.
