Huge respect to Chris for pushing onwards.   I will never forget the tension at the end of the final event when Alexy Lukanyuk hit trouble and no-one could say if Chris had enough points to clinch the European Rally Championship. The results computer system had "gone down" and at the stage end Chris Rawes managed to stretch out the interview without saying congratulations until Julian Porter used pencil and paper to triple-check the maths before they could unofficially announce Chris as the champ. An incredibly tense few minutes.
