Basically they started from the beginning how every year went and how he got his opportunities in his career. One thing was interesting that when he won WRC academy in 2011, then the prize was €500 000 which they changed in the following year because it was too big money. With that he got to some opportunities for future. Also he said that he got his opportunity to drive Hyundai because his manager (maybe it was somebody else) knew someone from Hyundai and asked if there was some possibility do make some drives for them. Also he initiated the talks with Rich and Malcolm to drive for Ford. They basically didn't discuss the Ford year at all and only said that the result was something that nobody wanted. Then some fan questions and basically was it. Nothing really new or groundbreaking but still interesting.

Impressed.
Showes how much gelling with the car means.
In the same Rally, Tanak wins in the Puma.
So now all cars are a potential winner, at least on snow.
Mr Breen, I apologize. Did not think you had it in you anymore, I was wrong!

I don't agree it is about gelling with the car.
As also other people like DF said he was most of the time at similar pace in the Puma, especially at cleaning rallies and certainly here in Sweden last year.
It seemed that he just got in a vicious circle due to what was expected of him at MSport. Adamo even claimed that he can't handle pressure. Here as a third driver the role is again completely different.
Anyway certainly great job here even with quite a few close calls. The biggest change from before was that usually after good Friday he used to fade quite a bit by Saturday evening, now he stayed in the fight.

I agree, he is no first driver material but 3rd suits him very well. It's kind if takes the pressure away from him and IMHO he lacks developing skills.
But very good rally from him.

Rally Croatia is a must. It’s a fantastic event. Not only in real life but it’s also my favorites in the new WRC game. The stages are so much fun to play
