    As much as I'm a Brit I've never really warmed to Elfyn in the way I did to Burns and McRae, maybe its the way he comes across in stage end interviews etc. Only time I've seen real emotion and passion from him was at the end of Rally GB and his first win, he's no Breen!

    Having said that for him and rallying in this country I would love him to secure the Drivers crown as may be the catalyst we need to fire up the desire to have a WRC round here again.

    All I hope is that if Ogier has an issue that suddenly Toyota dont decide to introduce team orders so Taka can win at home. If that happens may just walk away!

    As far as I know, ogier has never allowed someone else to win.

    It's ironic that the area closest to bringing us a UK WRC event isnt Evans home country Wales, but Scotland...

    But I guess having a British WDC wouldn't hurt.

    An issue that forced him to retire from the event...

    Also some time ago when there were some situation when Elfyn did need help, he explicit mention that he always help Ogier, but Ogier never helped him. Ogier was then said that he is there to win not to help others. Great team mate

    Personally think Elfyn would be happier without the weight of being WDC. He's always put himself down, if that's the right word, about not being a good character for selling the sport. That's why he's a likeable bloke to me, there's nothing false even if he is diplomatic about truths in stage ends.

    Jon Armstrong is way more likeable IMO. Will probably be in WRC 2027 when the R5s are the top class
