Thanks for your impressions. It's always good to hear the impressions from someone who was spectating the rally on site.
I have just compared the overall results of the ERC competitors and the National competitors. After SS12 official Skoda driver was over 37 seconds faster than the Irish oil seller. SS13 was probably cancelled for the national drivers, so it is hard to compare further results.
After SS12:
Esapekka Lappi (Skoda Fabia S2000): total time 1:23:13.6
Garry Jennings (Subaru Impreza WRC): total time 1:23:51.7http://www.rallymadness.prv.pl - rally photos and movies!

couldnt follow Ireland due to Easter vacations,but read all pages here,and watched stage by stage times,and some videos.
So r5 this time hadn t power advantage as some drivers were complaining at Acropolis.
About 208 retirements seems that have a serious problem,and they can t afford to tell the truth due to pr/ecomomic reasons.
All these ''due to broken radiator'' are laughable.Aluminium radiators can repaired at some minutes from local garages worldwide.
So even if a works team haven t got enough spares(lol) can repair very easy the existing 3(lol) ones .
208 uses a stock block 1,6 liter,while fiesta uses a 2 litre cylinder block with less displacement to be ok with regulations.
A 2 litre engine has wider block coolant channels,a 1,6 litre has smaller ones.Maybe the problem starts from this.If this speculation is true,is something difficult to fix.Its really starnge they didn t saw this problem at testing...
Imho from videos i saw, 208 were no way near fabias excellent setup.
Good for Lappi,he really needed a good result.

Final word (hopefully) on Breen's exit and "radiator-gate" from Peugeot-Sport official site: 'The car stalled and was never able to restart after a sensor problem...'

Brilliant footage !
I was looking forward to the ERC on Eurosport but was really disappointed at the lack of excitement. Those brilliant stages should have been much more thrilling to watch but apart from Lappi onboard on SS3 it was very poor. Video's like the one above puts the official ERC coverage to shame...#M-SPORTER
