The WRC Team will be looking for a first place finish in the Rally de Spain following Dani Sordo's second place finish at Rally France, however, the Spanish Rally is a different animal,
The first day of the rally takes place on predominantly a gravel surface with approximately 17 per cent on tarmac. At the end of day one the cars must be stripped and converted into tarmac form in little over one hour service time for the remaining two days. This requires the cars to be built and tested in both configurations and kept in large assemblies ready for fitment on the Friday evening. That obviously means that each car must be built twice.
