Shame.

As much as i wanted him to lose when McRae and Burns were rallying, he is a fantastic driver.

And fair play to him for this:

"There are no dramatics involved as I want to give possibilities for younger driver to reach their dreams - like I have done."

Let's hope he does finish on top.

yep i would love to see him win.

his best moment 4 me must have been arguing with that welsh copper when his pug had only 3 wheels and they stopped him on the highway , in the end he just wanted the cop to say that he would be able to drive the car but it is not legal. the cop just kept say no and they kept arguing at the side of the road.

Mine was watching him chase after some guy whilst wheedling a monkey wrench - the guy had tried to rip off the rear spolier of his 206WRC in Margam after he had broken down - quality
