First and foremost, Sebastien Loeb is not taking part in this rally, unless he decides to join the spectators, or look for some gates on the stages, to close them for Sebastien Ogier.

You’re in a shopping mall, and you’re pushing the trolley in front of you. Of course, each turn around the isles is taken sideways, and if you are extra in the mood, you even throw a nice Scandinavian flick, to help with the turn in. Depending on how you load the trolley, you will use...
