A nice close battle all rally between the French guys. Very impressive pace against the locals. Even Paddon couldn't get anywhere near.
A good solid event for Jon Armstrong too, beating quite a few of the big names like Ostberg, Llarena, Cais, Mares, Sesks & Lukyanuk.

I disagree with you.
I'll give you a summary:
- The stages of Gran Canaria are very technical and fast, with stunning views of ravines and landscapes.
- On the island there may be changes in weather depending on the altitude, in fact, Gran Canaria is known as a "Miniature Continent"
- After 200 km of stages, 8 drivers have finished the rally with a difference of less than 1 minute, the first two drivers separated by only 2.8 seconds.
- The WRC will visit one of the most beautiful and most tourist island in the World, Gran Canaria, more than 4.5 million tourists come to the island every year.
- Canarian rally fans know the drivers and the rallies very well, there is a "rally culture” on the island. For more than 40 years in the ERC.
- The media make a great follow-up of the rally, live TV, radio, newspapers (even coverpages) etc....
- There are connection with 25 countries and 170 airports that will make it very easy for fans to come to Gran Canaria
- The WRC will be a great success in Gran Canaria.Last edited by 106 sport; 4th May 2024 at 18:27.

Maybe the official coverage didnt make the most of the island and the rally and once again it was other creators who came up with some great footage. Tarmac is a contentious surface for some especially the further North you come from however having visited those stages I can say that in the flesh they are less than boring. I love Ypres but you could hardly say its run in a pretty part of the world. If the WRC wanted spectacular tarmac roads it could have given a round to Ireland however we all know where that went. I think the WRC crews will love it (even maybe Tanak) so will reserve judgement until the circus lands next year.

Yes, Fourmaux surprisingly won Canarias in 2020:

but it wasn't his only international win. For example he won also in Ypres:

and Jim Clark Rally:

and he is the current British champion.Last edited by Jarek Z; 5th May 2024 at 18:59.
