Both Czerny and Kasperczyk are lucky that the barriers in Spain are better than the ones in Andora...

Yesterday during Rally Vyškov Zdeněk Pokornę (owner of Černę's car and an active rally driver himself) said that the team actually wanted to restart under superally but it was not possible due to lack of some spares available for reasonable price. He said the damage to the car isn't that bad as it looks on the photos.
Jarek, this particular rails were possibly already damaged from Robert Kubica. Maybe without his crash the concrete fundaments would resit.Stupid is as stupid does. Forrest Gump

What I like about the ERC is that the local drivers can compete on a semi-even playing field with the ERC series regulars (of course their equipment may not be quite as good). Whereas in WRC/WRC2 you have no chance being against the factory teams. So this does give more variety and the potential for an upset. But I do agree that this round was a little bit of a disappointment in the lack of the other ERC regulars being able to keep up with the clearly best driver. However I am big Alexey fan, so I am glad to see him get a car to a finish line and the perfect result.

Huttunen's press release said he had set up issues on SS1 which made the car understeer a lot and in order to preserve tyres he lost a lot of time. They did set up work throughout the event.
Ingram could say he just controlled his pace, but a lead that was never over a half a minute is hardly a safe lead. A slow puncture or spins could've changed it all. Also, Ingram started ahead of Huttunen. Still, Ingram hasn't put a foot wrong on these first two events, it must be said. I am very entertained by this duel and of course hoping that Huttunen could take the next roundPhotos: rallirinki.kuvat.fi | Twitter: @HartusvuoriWRC

Assuming he was brought up on gravel, if Huttunen was matching Ingram for pace on tarmac that would be pretty incredible.
Edit
No, bad assumption... he started in karting. He also won the ADAC Opel Rally Cup which includes several tarmac rallies.Last edited by Fast Eddie WRC; 8th May 2017 at 20:07.

Good to see him back in a Skoda, his Octavia WRC days jumped to my mind immediately :D
