If Finland is rallying’s spiritual home, can we agree Portugal is its spiritual holiday home?. Talking of Fafe, if you’re vaguely within driving distance of the place (ie you’re not on another continent) then I implore you to get there in time for Sunday morning. The aforementioned Arganil, the place in the hills with so many secrets of the past, is just as relevant today. On Friday, another chapter will be written into its sensationally storied WRC past. Sorry Elfyn, this isn’t the best news for you, but rain’s not pictured as the WRC winds itself up for an epic place to start the gravel season.
