I guess that is serious flaw in the design of Fiesta R5, for drivers who like to "stick their nose" in the snow banks, I don't think Kajetanovich did that, he was just driving safely this Rally.

...the only good level driver with an R5 was Kajetanowicz.[/quote]
who was learning to drive with such tyres and conditions.
Congratulations to Lappi, win with style indeed, Gryazin is the hero of...

Aha, thanks. Yesterday he had problems, did they tried to repair it somehow, or he just started today with broken?

This must be his 3rd gearbox this Rally, right?

It's amazing the wheel stayed attached to the suspension and allowed him to finish the stage. Reminds of Rally cars years ago

Oh, I see:
Unfortunately Plangi was 16-minutes late at TC6F and has been excluded for being over maximum lateness - Clerk of Course Decision No. 6

How this was his choice?

We must take into account that Gryazin was with 4 gears today mostly, so tomorrow might be a fight for the victory. The surprise of the Rally :)

I see some drivers had problems with gone studs after half a stage on full attack, it is learning experience I guess in such Rallies.

Yeah, but that was far from Christmas tree, still not so strong impact, must be unlucky accident

Engine damaged severely :confused:

What about Breen and Kajetanowicz? They were mostly ahead of Wiegand.[/quote]


fun to watch and fast are different things... [/quote]
Sure, Lappi obviously can do both ;)

Yeah, great drive for him today, I think he can hold 2nd tomorrow.
EDIT: Wiegand shows some very nice times in the afternoon too.

Another excellent time for Lappi, would Gryazin hold on?

I think SS5&6 will make some difference, this one was too short

Not much snow left on the road when R2 pass.
EDIT: but yes, some of them show impressive pace :)[/quote]

I still see plenty of snow for everyone down the starting list (Feldmanis on SS3) :...

Do you call it realistic times?! :D[/quote]
SS3 is still first pass

Not much snow left on the road when R2 pass.
EDIT: but yes, some of them show impressive pace :)

That might explain Gryazin's great times :D :
(4 - Gryazin Vasily / Chumak Dmitry): Bryan is in the middle of the stage, he stopped. We got stuck fifth gear in the gearbox and now before the finish...

Pitty for Bouffier, mechanical failure

Stll Lappi is doing great times

Wiegand: "Really difficult, lot of time the line is not clear... I have no line. The car alot of the time is like swimming, I have no control, so really difficult. For sure behind me they have a...
