While he did win a stage, it was on the last day on the first run of the Power Stage. And he had already crashed once and been off road numerous times. I think he is driving on tarmac just like he used to in the IRC - into things. A more progressive approach to tarmac might be wiser. Better to do a Breen and come 5th, than to Rally2.
Agree, I miss those times when there were many seats available in manufacturer cars and then besides them many privateers who actually show some promising times.
