## Resource

Australian champion, Harry Bates, drove at one of the most famous rallies of all at the weekend and Luke Whitten spoke with him about the experience. Bates is asked about the early discussions that brought this event together, how the preparation was, and just how he found competing at Rally de Portugal. We also speak about the roads themselves in detail. Yes, they’re ’technical’, but what does that actually mean, and is there any comparison to Australia?
