[ERC] Rally Islas Canarias - El Corte Inglés

[catty]

By the way, only IRC and ERC results...

With Pavel Dresler 10 starts, 5 victories, that is 50% winning ratio!
With Petr Starý 32 starts, 5 victories, that is 16% winning ratio.

Of course it's not fully comparable but I think that it's going all well with Pavel

There was a much higher level of competition when Petr was in the car though

That's not fully true. In 2010 and 2011 the competition was usually tough, that's true but quite a lot of those starts are also from 2009 and 2008 when IRC wasn't so strong, some events had really bad entry lists. I don't try to say it shall be taken as some really important statistics but at least it is interesting.

To have a clear view of main rivals in events with Pavel.

Cyprus 2012 - second behind Mikkelsen
Jänner 2012 - first ahead of Hänninen
Canarias 2012 - first ahead of Mikkelsen
Ireland 2012 - third behind Hänninen and Mikkelsen
Corsica 2012 - second behind Sordo
Targa Florio 2012 - first ahead of Mikkelsen
Barum 2012 - he was stopped by technical problem (being behind Hänninen but in front of Mikkelsen)
Sanremo 2102 second behind Basso
Jänner 2013 first ahead of Bouffier
Canarias 2013 first ahead of Breen

So the best ever position for a Polish driver on Canary Islands was Holowczyc's 6th place in 1997. Can Kubica improve it 16 years later?

No, he can't

[Coach 2]

Was Kibica stunning, absolutely. Was I surprised and impressed, yes I was.
Considering a new car, new co-driver and a new course, this is/was impressive.

Although NOT would have said, this is LadyCup drivers, I would say that Kopecky is not "anyone".

When we talk about Kubica's exit, I actually think there is reason to assume that this had something to do with notes. And I do not mean that the codriver is to blame.

[thuGG]

Nah, it wasn't the notes nor the pilot. Kubica explained in detail what happened and admitted it was his mistake. I guess it's part of learning.

Exactly, and learning also applies to what you add to the notes as brake, slow or neat before or into turns one can often lose grip in front or rear under braking.
Neat is something one uses into some turns where there is little or no room for error, or through a bend because there is no room for a contra slide into the next one (for some reason).

Last year it was one of their first events after Cyprus and Jänner (I think) but Canarias is more difficult for pacenotes in my opinion. Before they did a lot of development tests together but that's something different. Also Pavel had no experience from WRC or S2000 cars. Last year both in Jänner and Canarias there were moments when Jan asked for getting notes quicker (clear from onboards). Since than they did a lot of events and I think that they are a good team also in personal way

So, Jan said that last year after all his experiences he still struggling with pacenotes and new codriver, especially on this rally which is very demanding. Also, after watching all available onboards from crew Kubica – Baran my conclusion is that they don’t have those problems … On the moments looks more like GP Canaria …
