14th out of how many???

Three weeks, 5,000 miles, thats um... a staggering 9.92 mph average, even allowing an 8 hour day thats 30 mph, 5 days a week only gets 42 mph. I don't think this will worry McRae and Burns!

If I've read the figures correctly (and I'm not 100% sure I have!), the sum of all competative stages was 408 miles which the hybrid achieved in 10:23:24 (averaging 39mph). The overall winner (a Honda Integra) had a total time of 7:29:43 (averaging 54mph).
