It's funny you should mention Novikov. I wondered what happened to him a few days ago so I checked. He has been gone completely from rally except for one masters show somewhere. Probably slaving away at some gulag these days to repay his sponsors.
Luky is a likable guy though. He does seem to be a bit more steady in recent years (although we said that about Meeke too). You never know until you try him out. I never said to give him a full year contract. Draft him in for three rallies and see how he does...

Suggesting Lukyanuk is nuts.
- Leadership above Budar kicked Meeke due to crashing and "danger", so now he should go to them and suggest "this guy from Russia who often has high-speed crashes and was recently in a deadly accident"
Ignoring this "minor" issue lets look on the performance side:
- Lukyanuk simply does not have experience on the rallies that are driven in WRC, that's quite important, despite his age just about all of them will be completely new to him. Even in this era of onboard-watching it's still a disadvantage
- The few times he did WRC rallies against WRC2 pilots (Sweden 2017, GB before), he was 5-6 in term of speed, clearly behind Tidemand, Sunninen, Camilli etc. Don't see how switching to WRC will suddenly make him faster than them.

Why not Meeke in a third MSport Fiesta WRC or even R5, rest of the season?
At least Malcolm could try him in Finland and Rally GB.Last edited by Rallyper; 27th May 2018 at 10:18.

Oh yes, he wants to spend that money...
I am from Gran Canaria. I am absolutely convinced that there will be no problem with the rally.
