Yeah, fantastic drive from Bakkerud and great to see the Focus competitive. When I saw that Bakkerud had gone TQ I was waiting for him to run out of tyres in the finals, but he had the pace right up to the last lap of the weekend: very impressive!

Yeah, the Focus did look to be rolling around a lot but, as you say, it's size makes it harder to directly compare with the other cars.
I was surprised by how soft the OMSE Fiestas were. They didn't look at all stable, which surprised me as OMSE have more experience at Lydden than the majority of the teams.
Solberg has definitely firmed his car up since his first year in the DS3, but it still moves around a hell of a lot! I assume he started with a gravel rally setup and then moved on from there: I wonder if M-Sport have done the same with the Focus which is why it looks so soft?

Great write up also    |
Have a look at the images from
ERC24: the two photographers from the site (especially JKR) are ridiculously good!
