The championship was won by François Delecour in a Tuthill-prepared Porsche 997,[2] winning two rallies – in Monte Carlo and Corsica – and finishing in second place in Ypres and Germany. With 86 points, Delecour scored exactly double the tally of second-placed driver Romain Dumas, who won in Germany and finished second to Delecour in Monte Carlo. Third place in the championship went to Marc Duez, who finished third on both events he contested – Monte Carlo and Ypres – while Patrick Snijers won his only event, in Ypres.

gollark: I mean, at the very least it's documented in the code, with no comments.
gollark: Yes. This is documented somewhere maybe.
gollark: You just feed it some context, and the question, and then it something something matrix multiplication, and then it does postprocessing to turn the output into a span in the original text, and answers come out.
gollark: It doesn't do training. That would be *unusably* slow.
gollark: However, if I actually had GPUs, I would be able to use bigger, more accurate models, and feed them entire Wikipedia pages.
