Really enjoyed it this year, currently sat in Barcelona airport waiting to fly back.
Including 4 in Shakedown, 11 passes of WRCs over three days, without going to the Barca street stage, can't complain at that. Numerous stages beginning just outside towns means you get a lovely atmosphere around the start of several stages, similar to Ypres in that way, was good to see Petter and Henning in town before SS2 on top form.
Obviously you've all seen what's going on at the front better than me, but some WRC2 observations:
- Was surprised that the Polo looked so stable on gravel on its first outing for some reason. Crucially it sounds better than the Fabia, but will be interesting to see how it goes in private hands next year. I hope it's not a class killer.
- C3s were all over the place when being pushed, but especially Veiby. His chances of progressing must be hanging by a thread. Nice to see four of them out though; Lopez's livery is nice at least...
- Hyundais looked fast, surprised at the progress Huttenen has made towards the end of the year and he and Loubet seemed fairly quick. Hopefully Hyundai continue this programme next year, but I gather the car was a bit unreliable? I don't think all three came pastime very often. Suarez seemed quick in bursts.
- Nils Solans is driving superbly, on both surfaces. Compared to Kaetanowicz' relatively cautious approach, Solans has been using all the road without looking like going over the edge when I've seen him. I thought my stopwatch was lying seeing his times compared to the works Skodas. Hopefully he can get a full year with M-Sport or a WRC2 Pro team next year.
- Kalle Rovanpera; what can you say?
Also, I think I have a new favourite viewing spot, on the way into town at Terra Alta, I hope they run the stage the same way next year.
OK, flight's boarding...aka Rodger Davies

He was starting after very long break, with brand new codriver and brand new car, where he was trying to find correct setup suitable for him. And he had health issues before start of the rally. On...
