That was because he crashed and the barrier saved him from a big fall down the hillside. The video was linked on other car sites hence all the views.

Assuming he was brought up on gravel, if Huttunen was matching Ingram for pace on tarmac that would be pretty incredible.

Edit
No, bad assumption... he started in karting. He also won the ADAC...

Indeed, that's why I was asking as I thought Ingram could have pulled more of a lead. But he's an honest chap so I take what he said at face value...

Ingram answered my question, stating at the end that he won the rally on the 1st stage and then just controlled his pace thereafter taking no risks.

Amazing shots of Jan Černý's crash in SS4 ! :disturb:

Another win in U27 for Chris Ingram.. great start to the season. :)

Great win by Lukyanuk on asphalt - the fastest driver, winning fair and square and with no mistakes.

Good job by Kajto in 2nd, but he has a real battle on his hands this season.

Congrats to...

I'd love to know if Huttunen has improved his tarmac pace since the start, as he has been very close to Ingram since SS1 where he lost 19sec.
Or has Ingram just been going steady and keeping the...

After SS10 Magalhães now just 4.1s down on Kajto...

Huttunen beats Ingram... or is Chris taking it steady with having a good lead ?

BTW, why no Sirmacis here ? I saw he just signed up with new management (Vatanen).

Lukyanuk 'just warming up' is 10s faster than anyone !

Edit: Suarez just 6s slower.

6/6 for Lukyanuk.. he's a proper quick guy on asphalt now.

Kajto not so fast... Maghalaes up to 2nd !

SS5 - Suarez losing big time (+44.9s) at the split...

Lost +1:36.6 at the end. Serious car problem.

Ingram with technical problems after SS3, but is through SS4 OK with a good time. :)

Černy crashed but is ok.

Zawada takes 5.4s out of Ingram on SS2 ! Maybe Ingram destroyed his tyres on that first stage charge ?
