Northern Ireland's Josh McErlean says he "gave it everything" as he narrowly missed out on his first WRC2 victory in the World Rally Championship round in Portugal.
The 24-year-old led by 0.1 seconds with two stages remaining, but Solans hit back and was fastest by 6.5 seconds on the penultimate stage. McErlean's performance was enough to finish ninth overall in the rally, which was won by the Rally1 machine of Sebastien Ogier. The switch from Hyundai to Skoda has already paid off and he starts his WRC2 in style, and his confidence will only grow from here.
