    If you meant ice as hard freezed snow, then yes. Spikes need ice.

    After Finland could be the correct point, where the team orders might come into play.

    Let's see how he will deal with rough gravel rallies, where the reliability of the car and driving style is always a key. To be honest, I think that Evans with Toyota will be championship leader after Kenya.

    I dont see how you make that conclusion.

    Evans did well on his cleaner roads of Thu/Fri, but then struggled on the dirtier roads on Sat when he was running last. Unsurprisingly this affected his times and then it wasn't worth risking everything to try to get it back.

    It took Ingram a bit of time to get a rhythm but he did set two 4th fastest times in WRC2. He could well have improved further as the event went on but for the car issue.

    Has Ingram ever shown "real" speed?!

    Back from my first Monte and I have a question. Has the organizational side that one sees as a spectator always been so, politely put, whatever?
    Never stop dreaming because one day it might happen.

    In my opinion the answer is NO. Yes, his is 2019 ERC Title holder, but he got the title because other drivers chrashed or did not participate. He is just not fast enought for world level. I think Mads Otsberg is kind of similar -always in a mix, but just not fast enoughts if others are around.
