Here is a nice 3-minute video showing Lukyanuk's performance on Azores, together with comments from the driver himself:

A very good 10-minute video called "HIGHLIGHTS | MISTAKES, SHOW, FLATOUT, ACTION [FULL HD]". I'm sorry if it was posted here already.

I didn't know you were a lover of crab driving ;)

Speaking of Suarez, can you see any straight part in this car? ;)

European Championship standings after round 1:

2. Griebel (26)
3. Moffett (20)
...
Lukyanuk (7)
Kajetanowicz (6)

Is this April fools joke or what?!

Sirmacis: It was great experience in tyre changing... But we are here and safe in the finish. It was really crazy rally for us.

After all those punctures the 7th position is not so bad.

What a great comeback of Bruno Magalhaes! Congratulations!!!

Sirmacis' list of punctures according to https://rally-base.com/crew-profile/crew-detail/?competitionId=430&crewId=33845&ssGroupId=1&cupId=55 :
SS5
SS6
SS10
SS11
SS14 (probably, I'm not sure)

Ufff! Fake news even in the world of rallying?

The hast stage has started... I keep my fingers crossed for Bruno Magalhaes...

Does anybody need translation from Russian?

Co-driver - Right 3
Co-driver - 15, left 7, very sharp
Co-driver - 130
Driver - [not understandable]
Driver - Niiiieeeeeeeeettttt!!!...

What?! Cerny too?! I went to visit my parents, I come back home and what do I see? Lukyanuk out, Habaj out, Kasperczyk out, Moura out, Suarez out, Botka out, Cerny out... The death list goes on......

I'm sorry if I was too harsh. I thought he was crashing all the time, regardless of the road conditions?

There is a classification for the whole rally and separate points for each leg. For winning the rally you can get max 25 points. For winning each leg - 7 points. So the maximum number of points is 25...

Only on this one stage Jan Cerny moved from 7th to 4th overall!

Yes, indeed. Back to crab mode for Suarez. I read somewhere that he won Peugeot Trophy in France. How did he manage to beat all the (usually good) French drivers with such reliability?

Good God, have mercy! Another crash. Suárez: broken wheel and damaged rear right end. The Spaniard loses 1:45 :(

That means that Magalhaes and Moura are fighting for overall win now! Only 9 seconds between them and 4 stages to go!

It must be the first stage win ever in the ERC for Griebel, so congratulations from me! :)

But there is still a long way in front of him. He loses 99 stage wins to Kajto now :D

Kajetanowicz Kajetan: I think Lukyanuk is changing something maybe 7 kms after the stage. To be honest I really lost concentration after seeing him, I feel sorry for him. Demanding stage, asbolutely...

Maybe it's better to have a slower car in those conditions? Ingram and Huttunen made excellent times on SS11 - 16th and 17th overall respectively. Better than many R5 drivers. Well done!

What is going on? Is it a survival event? Is anybody going to finish it?
