The racing was as exciting and controvertial as ever, but unless Ekstrom can continue that man JK looks in a class of his own.
BTW how the hell did they pick Natalie Barratt for the Projekt-E car ?

As that particular car is owned by a company with a rally background I wondered if there was some historical connection between them and Barratt, as I thought she was a surprising choice as well.
No doubt that Natalie has driven a range of cars, but you think that someone with more recent rallycross experience would be preferable for developing a new car.
Natalie was for many WRC rallies run by OMV rally Team / Manfred Stohl Rally Team.
You do realise that STARD - the company behind this concept - is Manfred Stohl's company?
There are not so many complications in this decision....
There had to be a reason. They could've explained it on the TV coverage as they must've known fans would be puzzled.
