No way I could have fitted in a trip to the RAC around work and other commitments this year, but I thought the coverage was superb (especially with retro presentation for extra nostalgia!).
As Bert says it seemed to be a mainly Escort affair, but there were some other interesting cars in the mix. Real shame to see Meeke out so early as he looked on form and ditto for Pryce who seemed to be the only driver close to Solberg pace at that point.
A measured drive and well deserved win for Marty McCormack, though it is Seb Perez that seems to be the most memorable part of the event: don't think I have seen/heard a comment from someone who was there who hasn't mentioned how good it was to see and hear that Stratos on stage! Must have been gutting to have retired on the last stage, but making such a huge impression on the spectators must be some consolation.
