Davies’ drama

Andy Davies has had a trying first season in R5, but things became really bizarre on round four when he ran into trouble just after a ceremonial start. A group of youngsters threw a tin of paint over his Fiesta R5 as Davies was driving along and managed to obscure his vision perfectly. “It was thinned-down paint,” Davies said, “but for five miles it wouldn’t clear, the wipers couldn’t do it. We eventually found somewhere to stop and clear it, but I don’t know why it happened. We’re a long way from home.”
