This was probably the most weird rally experience for me when the slowest looking were fastest and the fast looking were slow.
You witnessed the "secret" of Loeb.
Then think about how slow it feels inside the car, and the mental belief You have to have to be able to trust that going slow is the fastest.
This is very much the centre of Nose End First.
