Thanks for posting this great film.

It's good to show behind the scenes and how tough this sport can be on competitors and their family & friends.

I really hope they find a way to continue,...

Experienced Paddon driving smart with the Championship in mind.

Impressive win by Bonato and another good result for the C3 Rally2. Pity he's not doing the full Championship.

Paddon the real winner in terms of points towards the ERC title. A great drive on his...

It was only like that in the morning.

Its been worse today with most stages damp with some rain and low cloud / mist.

Brilliant time by Bonato on SS9, extending his lead.

Did Cole's engine stay in ?

Updated leaderboard for the rally, following Efren Llarena's incurred penalty:

SS5: PRE STAGE STANDINGS

Y. Bonato FRA 28:20.8
A. Nucita ITA +5.0
H. Paddon NZL +5.5
E. Llarena ESP +9.3

The thing is, that was a proper corner and the rail held. With Csomos it only seemed a sight bend and yet it broke.

I wonder what road traffic is normally allowed on that road ? It can only be...

He certainly did ! I guess they're not designed to take that speed of impact.

The other drivers must be a bit shaken up after seeing that.

Broken driveshaft, disaster for Ostberg.

MRF and Spanish crews were mostly low placed. Maybe they'll do better on the proper stages.

That new Welsh girl presenter is from S4C Ralio.

A few mistakes already on the tricky SS1.

Llarena off in Qually !

FP times... Ostberg & Paddon outside the top 10 so far:

E: Paddon 2nd run he was 4th.

It just popped up on my YT feed. A nice surprise as they haven't shown the QS previously on ERC+.

The Qualifying Stage will be live on You Tube...

Is there any live coverage on local tv that might be available online via a VPN ?

Edit - not to worry, I'll buy ERC+ as there's also Rally Poland within the month. :)

The ship has landed....

Paddon had a good event and finished 4th o/a . Not so Ostberg who had transmission issues and retired after SS5.

Spanish media reports Simone Campedelli (Skoda Fabia Rally2 Evo), Simone Berolotti (Citroën C3 Rally2) & Tom Kristensson (Citroën C3 Rally2) will head to Gran Canaria.

Also the Hungarian Miklós...

ERC title contenders Paddon and Ostberg are both doing Rally Regione Piemonte this coming weekend as tarmac practice for Canarias.
