* Country: Portugal
* Rally Surface: Gravel
* First Run at WRC Level: 1973

The Portuguese crowds are renowned for the fanaticism, which was a factor leading to a poor safety record which eventually led to their suspension from the WRC calendar in 2002.

Sebastien Ogier was awesome! Congrats to him! Loeb hasn't any chance! That means a lot! In general, it was a great rally, exciting fro spectators, thrilling and exhausting for drivers, but great!
Kimi, you're still the man! Without any experience on this rally to get on P10 and so 1 points is great!

Kimi is enjoying rallying, I doubt he would want to come back to this restriction filled world of F1.
