“I have to remain realistic about my chances this time around.
“I am in a good place right now and everything feels great, both in and out of the car, almost to the point where the times we are setting is a very natural process.
“Although there may be a bit more pressure after Wervik, I really do have to go at my own pace .”

Hide AdYates and co-driver Elliott Edmondson have enjoyed a successful start to the season, despite Yates having to acclimatise to the new-for-2018 Skoda Fabia R5. Impressive results in the ERC round in the Azores and a runner up-position at the opening round of the BRC on gravel were complemented by a solid result at the Antibes Côte d’Azur Rally.
