I guess you don't get the gravity of buying a new car and needing to ship it back to NZ the next day after the rally in order to get it back to the single biggest rally of your carreer to ensure sponsors and your country get to see you rally, Vs someone on a home rally with nothing to lose. The smart move was to complete the rally with no risk, gaining valuable seat time in a new car and knowledge for a crack at it next year. Its logical and smart and that's how he played it. That has no meaning on his pace whats so ever but I can see I'm not getting anywhere with logic.
