They obviously didn't read my enthusiastic post earlier this year, about the blacker livery. I said I need to see it live. I've done my share and I've been waiting. Now this... is not bad at all ;)

True. Winter is always cooler - in terms of rally car livery as well, it seems.

Is Guy Wilks doing anything this year?

I thought he would start in Australia with Honda but I think You would know that if I was right.

I have heard nothing, at least not in APRC. Maybe it would have been better if he had tried to get a seat at something like Proton. He is wasting his time with Honda.

On his twitter there is a comment "Ypres looks like a good challenge" but that was quite some time ago.
