[ERC] JDS Machinery Rali Ceredigion 30.8-1.9.2024

[Fast Eddie WRC]

I'm an M-Sport fan, but parachuting in Jon Armstrong to score the BRC Teams points was already rather petty in their battle with the Castrol MEM Team.

I think the Ingrams are a lot pettier.

What was the feedback regards the event? Did the Europeans like the roads and has there been much kickback re the cancelled/red flagged stages? Seems to be an issue with UK closed roads although obviously not as unfortunate as the NW Stages earlier this year. Looking enviously at some of the footage on YT over the weekend and seeing where people could get access to will certainly be on my agenda for 2025.

I didnt hear a bad word about anything. The stages seemed to get re-started fairly quickly after crashes and there were no issues with fans.

Many of the International drivers were highly complimentary about the roads, the organisation and even the scenery.

One said: "I am a big fan, I have to say. The people are lovely too and seem to have a heart for rallying. It's a privilege to drive on these incredible roads. I've never seen anything like it if I'm being honest."

Obviously a good event for photographers

I've resisted saying anything, but it isn't just internet trolling. Jon was out on the stages on Saturday telling random spectators that Paddon will/should be investigated, hasn't shown this form all season, had just got back from Italy with a special engine upgrade... It was comical to hear of this kind of mixture of old school rallying tittle-tattle and real life internet trolling in person, actually coming from someone who's reputation proceeds them, but also quite odd! I don't think he's doing Chris any favours in this regard, really. Rallying is a very small bubble...

Somehow, this doesn't surprise me. Everyone knows what he's been doing with his alt account, even Milliner and the Head of the WRC Promoter has commented on his post once. He has even given away his phone number to someone. As you said, the rallying world is small, and I am sure it's not doing him any favours at all. His and his dads behaviour on social media would be a big turn off for me
