I'd love to know if Huttunen has improved his tarmac pace since the start, as he has been very close to Ingram since SS1 where he lost 19sec.
Or has Ingram just been going steady and keeping the gap ?#M-SPORTER

Great win by Lukyanuk on asphalt - the fastest driver, winning fair and square and with no mistakes.
Good job by Kajto in 2nd, but he has a real battle on his hands this season.
Congrats to Magalhães getting a podium after never driving the Fabia R5 before !#M-SPORTER

Btw... I didn't quite catch what happened to Suarez yesterday. He lost loads of time SS4, SS5 and SS6. Someone mentioned engine problems, do we know any more about this?

He is the most experienced one there now. Huttunen, Van der Marel or Kupec are nowhere near in terms of experience. In any case in Ingram they have someone to learn from.
Pity Mareš had a technical problem on the penultimate stage. It would be a nice result for both Czech juniors.Stupid is as stupid does. Forrest Gump

What to say more about Lukyanuk supreme speed? Only that it’ll be totally unfair if he eventually doesn’t become ERC champ (well, maybe he could wait another year in case Magalhães runs the champ‘ship…) as he’s the bravest and most talented driver in the series. Hats off also to Arnautov’s, for his courage and competence.
Huge congrats to Bruno and Hugo Magalhães!!! They prove they can be top ERC contenders and they’re still leading the series…let’s hope their sponsors (and some new ones) can give them the chance to run more events this year. Congrats also to ARC Sport, the Portuguese team that owns and runs Bruno’s Fabia; they can be a small team from a countryside town, but they’re hugely competent and passionate.
Nice job from Ivan Ares (a former 911 driver), clearly the fastest among Spanish drivers, and a big applause for the brave JM Ponce and his co driver, Carlos Larrode. Certainly it wasn’t easy to drive (and codrive) the tiny Seat JTR Proto on Canarias stages, but their effort was far from being ridiculous; without the 4m they lost at yesterday SSS and today penalty they’d certainly get to the top 5 in local champ’ship, only behind R5’s and 911’s.
Overall, another great (island) rally to follow on a very promising ’17 ERC season!Rally addict since 1982

A rather boring rally. ERC is not back again it seems, lot of gentlemen drivers as regulars (except for guys like Luky, Kajto and hopefully Magalhaes this year), top ten with at least 50% national drivers, like last year.
Biggest dissapointment: Bouffier. Just a shadow of former years. Also Griebel seemed to drive on a safe mode for the whole rally.
