Martijn Wydaeghe’s story of steering a rally car from the wrong seat is nothing new. His fellow co-driver Nicky Grist has a very similar story of directing operations from the right-hand seat. But for a very different reason.
Wydaeghe was called upon because Thierry Neuville got his hand stuck in his seat while adjusting his belts on Friday’s first full day of competition in Africa. The reason Grist downed the notes was for Colin McRae to answer the call of nature.
