Great driving by Lukyanuk.
SS8: "It was maybe the hardest stage in my life, thanks to our pacenotes, they work. Snow everywhere, but it is nice. In the beginning I was struggling to find the pace. Finally in the middle of the stage we find the pace."

If he didn't have this problem on SS1, still wouldn't fight for victory, but nevertheless very nice for inexperienced.

Simon Wagner second best Austrian after Baumschlager in Austrian championship with his old Mazda 323 GTR, even in front of Fischerlehner. One doesn´t need to comment this ... OK, better road position, but he´s really doing a fabulous rally so far.
Also local baker Ernst Haneder in front of Fischerlehner

Despite the increased challenge, fourth-placed Alexey Lukyanuk can’t wait to get started in his Ford Fiesta R5. “I have always been fast in the night, maybe I have a good pacenote system with precise distance measurements,” said Lukyanuk. “Maybe they help me to be more confident.”

Plunging ambient temperatures will also be an issue, but not necessarily a problem, as Kajetanowicz explained: “When the road is cold, when the temperature is in minus the grip is better in this situation,” said the Pole. “Now we have soft and wet snow in Freistadt but when the temperature is minus zero it is like sand and it’s better grip.”
