Luis Perez Companc failed to get the Munchi's Ford World Rally Team off the mark on their home event at the weekend and in the end he finished way, way down the order after going out on the first 'proper' stage.

“We started the rally with the dampers much too soft and the car felt really bad. It was crashing out a lot and touching the road; the feeling was really bad. I was struggling to keep it safely on the road,” he recounted. “Apart from that the only other problem we had was a broken intercom on the last loop of main stages; we actually completed a full stage using only hand signals, then my co-driver used the intercom from the road section headsets so I could listen to the pace-notes.

“Overall though we had a consistent rally and I couldn't believe the number of fans on the stages; in some places it was like a human wall at the sides of the road.”
