Well, opinion yes, but this is irrelevant.
What’s relevant is that we all love Rally and this forum is a great way to share our common passion, no matter how different our views can be sometimes.
Btw, will Luky be on Barum? I hope this crash in Poland won’t slow down his full recovery. Fingers crossed for him!
Follow discussion on European Championship Forum. Organizers did appearantly mess upp on MM stage.

Rumours/hopes he could enter WRC2 next year. :)
"I do not have plans yet for 2019. I really like the ERC environment, it's very calm, very friendly, the challenge and the drivers are good, but in the World Cup, it's different, it's much harder and more challenging, but we have to move forward, "Lukyanuk, who explained that he now needs to double his budget this year, to move to WRC2:" We also need to prepare better the tests, develop the car and my driving style. At ERC we do not even have tests, we went from rally to rally. In WRC2 it is not possible to compete without tests so this requires an extension of the testing program which will be a priority. If it does, I'll be happy. "
Lukyanuk could be on Sweden WRC2 entry list.
The news came out today that he would take part in "Rally Alūksne" 18.-19.01. 2019. (Latvia, 1st leg of Latvian and Estonian championship) to get some mileage before Sweden probably.
In my opinion it is time Lukyanuk get a chance in WRC2. He has proved himself in ERC!
Maybe in a C3?
