    I was expecting him to beat at least the rc2 cars. He is having more power, more grip and a better road position and still loses 18 seconds to gryazin.

    McErlean is even slower than Greensmith was in a top line car. At least he seems to be a bit more of a likeable character. But, it’s so slow, and definitely means him and Munster are the worst lineup ever. However, we should be thankful that they are keeping M-Sport heads above water.

    I suggest we give hime time. Monte in these conditions, night and starting position is the worst situation one new-comer can start his WRC carrier. I am sure he will progress through the rally and also through the season. You all know that Malcolm and Co do not like those who bin their cars - that is why Munster is appreciated and have these opportunities - he did not bin a single chassis, contrary to many others. I McErlean will stay on road, he will progress.

    I guess McErlean has only one goal at the moment and it is to gain mileage and reach the finish.

    To be slower in Rally1 car than others in Rally2 is not a boost for your ego, but his job is to ignore this fact at the moment.

    He did not have any results to boost expectations of him to be a top 5 rally1 driver out of the blue. I think everything is logical at the moment.

    But M-Sport seems, are also the only one who can do impossible and turn absolute wreckage into fully running racing machine again in a matter of hours. Remember TiTanak and last year Munster with his slow speed total crash (that car look more like an old model Puma than new SUV they are running).
