Explanation why Callum Devine is missing Azores (from Rally Insight) :

"The County Derry driver had no time to dwell on finishing seventh on Barum Rally two weeks ago, his best result in the European Rally Championship this year. His Ford Fiesta Rally2’s engine was recalled for a rebuild by M-Sport and it was all systems go to make Azores work.

In the end, the rebuild time coupled with the logistics of getting to the remote North Atlantic islands meant Devine had to make the tough call to miss ERC’s next round."

3rd ERC round in a row that Ola Jr Nore "doesn't start", weird...

EDIT: on ewrc-results, it now says "codriver ill"... they're having a very unlucky season then.
