At first some impresive stage times - maybe one top 6 time, an then crash, because there is no way for a newcomer to finish top 10 or better at first time. Lukas is a simple guy. He has no money. He is very lucky to get to the place he is in now. He started with opel astra and ended up winning ERC event just because there was people who could support him just because it was clealy visible, thas he has what it takes to be a successeful rally driver. I hope he has an oportunity to test a WRC Car before Finland. GO GO GO !

Maybe he does crash in Finland but I tell you what; he finished some rallies this year more than I expected so despite his 110% he manages to keep on the road. Like Ireland it's very fast tarmac, narrow and unforgiving but he did a smart learning curve. On the other hand he had a big off at Liepäja...
I just hope that a sponsor will pop up or some manufacturer will show interest in him, honestly speaking the Russian market is a huge market for car sales ... Come on Yves Matton wake up.
I'm dreaming.

Maybe he needs a Chinese citizenship...

**miniwintz** · 20th July 2015, 15:19

Russian economy is collapsing, he might need another citizenship indeed... I know of another one with the same three colors that would please Mr Matton a lot

Well, I and I belive many other Estonian rally fans take him as a (almost) local already. His nationality is Russian and for a Russian to achieve such kind of respect and acknowledgement among Estonians.. you have to be very special.. and seems that he is. It was his 5th Rally Estonia :-)

I know like I said I was dreaming, but with Matton I mean every team principal, doesn't matter... Give the bloke a bloody opportunity he deserves. Okay the Russian economy is not at its best state now, but if you look at WEC or GT racing, there are still quite some Russians racing all the big events, and although they are all suffering, they are very very fast as well... In WEC/GT it's mostly the Russian banks and international companies with problems, but not the rest.
Probably its all gentlemens money, but there must be some Russian entrepreneurs who are more attracted to the tarmac & gravel stages than the circuits. I'm still dreaming.
