If there was apprehension re how the 2017 machines will be received by the fans and how they will perform, I am certain in that in the WRC’s administrative halls, jubilation and a sense of accomplishment prevail. The machines were being ogled and lauded and soon as they arrived for their duel with the elements.
Our beloved internet was awash with images and scenes of imposing machines as soon as their rears appeared on the elevated perch of their six star hotel (car trailer) before they were lowered to meet with terra firma.
The season was met with high fan-anticipation and there will be no debate – the drivers, machines and teams delivered a stellar showing, which augurs well for the competitive season which lies ahead.
Scenes from Rally Monte Carlo will confirm what we all know to be true – Rally drivers have all the fun!
