Yes, just been reading that. I hadn't realised that Duez was a last-minute stand-in for Tony Pond, and had to smile at his comment about the win:
'From a PR point of view it was not the best result for the Rallysprint organisers. Nobody knew who I was!'

Incidentally, and a bit off-topic, next week's 'Race of My Life' article is Chris Hodgetts- could well be another Group A-related one?
