he needs a proper 2 year contract in the WRC, if he fails its ok, but he needs a chance.

All others in ERC are dogs compared to him.

How could you be serious with that comment. He went 4th in one off event. And first time in 4wd R5. And then also tarmac event.

Mirek is spot on. Listen to him. Not to me.
And why not take a read on Lundefaret as well.
To tell you honestly - Bergkvist is trying as much as he can having so many rallies as he can afford. Trying to fund his rallies while other youngsters just fly by with heli and drive, with dads or big sponsors pay, Bergkvist tries the best he and his team can do to drive as much they can. That doesn´t give them R5 Fiesta Evos or Skodas works cars. They have to do best they can with material offered. (Citroen R5 no Evo whats so ever)

Sorry, it wasn't me that brought up Bergkvist, and I don't want to pollute this thread but I stand by everything I said.

Is Fiesta or Fabia so much more expensive? Who is talking about Bergkvist after one 17th place and three retirements in WRC2?

Totally agree. It's very rare to see a driver with such commitment.

Well, hopefully he finds sponsors because they sold the old EVO to get enough money to compete at Rally Estonia. So his ERC season may end here and that would be a pity.

Ingram was praising the incredible speed of the locals here.

I dont know if their Pugs are any advantage.

This is Lukyanuk's best surface/event.. he is very quick here. These are the roads he has grown up on.

But on other rallies he does crash at lot, either in testing or on the rally, as a wide experience of other events and road types just isnt there.

Unfortunately at 35, WRC-wise, I think its a bit late for him to learn all the rallies.

Why I don't think it's accidental that lately everything somehow involving Toyota always fails?

I don't know, but something must be wrong with such drivers choice by Toyota. Both factory supported Japanese drivers found it very hard to get into top 10 in this rally and both rolled their cars. Is this the best Japan has to offer when it comes to rally driving?

Yeah right. But he can surprise us a lot, as in Valais last year. Crashes happen to everyone. He just didn't had proper chance yet.
