As for observations, I think my main one would be my surprise that José Antonio Suárez managed to get his 208 R5 to the end of the rally! That must be the strongest 208 going... He was one of the most exciting guys to watch, in most places I saw him he was either going massively sideways or entering a corner way too quickly, or both! On the first run of Alwen on Sunday he had a huge moment, coming down a hill way too fast into a quick left and right flick he ended up off line, bounced off (and took a chunk out of) the embankment on the outside which threw the back of the car nearly a metre off the ground. This must have been at about 80kph. He'd already done something to the front before he got here, but how he got away with this I don't know! Looking at various videos online he seems to have been pretty wild everywhere. As much as I enjoyed his antics, I think he could do with a bit of help from Lundefaret...
Regarding Suarez we were surprised that there was no damage to the car as he approached the finish of Clocaenog 1. He'd remedied that by the second run!!
Surrey. I'll look into it after Xmas.Quote:
