I didn't watch it yet since I am at work. It seems there was likely some issue with audio...
This one of Tarabus from Troják is without music (if You don't consider S2000 sound as music ): https://www.mediasport.cz/rally/cesk...rdy/10447.html
It's very nice onboard with perfect camera position and from great stage.
Also Pech from the same stage is now online (with an off): https://www.mediasport.cz/rally/cesk...rdy/10455.html
This one is crazy fast.Last edited by Mirek; 29th August 2017 at 14:03.

Ingram still confident despite no longer leading Junior ERC...

Another onboard from Troják, this time with Kopecký who was fastest there. Watch at least the jump after 2:56 (You can compare with the other two onboards where it looks like no jump at all): https://www.mediasport.cz/rally/cesk...rdy/10465.html
Also note that it's not the stupid camera in the corner of the front window.Stupid is as stupid does. Forrest Gump

I don't see Ingram gaining anything even if he wins the title this year. ERC 2wd title is pretty worthless, there is just 2 drivers competing for it and Huttunen has been more impressive this year even with his accident in Barum, also he has some money to drive in some wrc events and actually he has done well in them.
Currently it seems like that Opel R5 is the only option for Ingram unless he is able to find a lot of money to back next year in 4WD car. Driving R2 again next year will not help him at all.

You're wrong. The winner of U27 wins 100 thousand Euro which are bound to be used to support his U28 drive, i.e. in R5 car.
Besides that it's not true that there are only two drivers. You can start with not ignoring the current championship leader Zawada...
Current top 5 where all drivers lost some points due to various dramas, not only Huttunen (who is the fastest for sure, no discussion about that).
1. Zawada 99
2. Ingram 96
3. Mareš 84
4. Huttunen 75
5. Banaz 56
Wagner or Kupec had also very good speed this season. It shall be still noted that Ingram and Zawada have way more experience than anyone else. For most of the others all the events are new.Last edited by Mirek; 29th August 2017 at 22:47.

Oh totally forgot about the prize money, and also I havent followed U27 too closely this year but it always seems that speed wise it's always been Ingram and Huttunen battling for the victory but now that I took a bit of look to stage results Zawada has been quite fast also atleast on tarmac, interesting to see can he keep up on Liepaja.
But coming back to the future of these drivers. Getting 100k to drive R5's in ERC sounds like a alot of money but it's actually just like 2 events with test's and then rest you need to be able to back yourself..
Ingrams case it seems like there is no extra money coming his way since he is only driving ERC events at the moment but maybe they have already some plans for next year?
Huttunen has driven R5 in Finland and R2 in germany this year but is his management able to get their budget up for next year to drive whole season with an R5 if he dosent get the Hyundai deal?
Zawada also has driven just a few rallies in last couple of years, I wouldnt get my hopes up to see him driving a full R5 season even with winning this years title price.
