Rally Liepāja 2016

[RS]

for sure Kalle will be fast,but i dont think that he is on par with Luky in terms of speed. Of course we will compare times.
i am more curious if Sirmacis will be on par with Luky at well known surface.

Wasn't Estonia a better measure of that when they were both in an R5 car?

National rally will run straight after, so since there is 43 ERC drivers Kalle will most likely be the 44th car on the road. Also you can't say that he has the best car, there is like 10 other R5s with few on them being skodas aswell. What I have heard is that Kalle would have wanted to participate to ERC but wasnt allowed.

I meant specifically the Skoda as I think this will be a fast rally and the Fabia has the highest top speed.

Don't forget that Lucas will drive N4. The comparisone won't be correct

Surface might be the same but these roads are more familiar than estonian to sirmacis.

Just looked at stages maps, Latvia rally seems will be faster than Estonia, more straights after junctions, and I think Sirmacis say after Estonia, that he predicts faster stages in Latvia. So there will be two crews battle once again.

Very important will be also tire choice and management. We've tested on Wednesday in the rally area and tire wear was very high, I've done plenty of events in that area in the past, but generally in local events you have less SS kms in loop and also no tires limit. Here it might be crucial, as tires which give most grip will wear out very quickly, so you need to find some compromise.
Also a lot depends on weather, where is our Estonian weather friend!!!????

[tolx]

Yes, i need a forecast too
