    Brynildsen able to keep the 4th, with only fwd on last stage and issues with backdiff all of the last day.
    But again the russian is in his own league when the Fiesta works.
    But still Fabia seems to be the car to have.
    If you as a driver are able to master it, then it generally seems as the fastest R5.

    Also seems like Pirelli has better options for R5.

    I think it is more about driver than about the car. Each car suits differently to every driver. If you look here, Lucas was different league. Nordgren was able to make good times, also Habaj was usually between the fastest. Brynildsen also on top. And also Tsoulotfas was able to be fast with "crappy" Citroen

    Top two fastest guys in recent years, Kajto and Lukyanuk, both use Ford Fiesta R5's.

    Other driver's are choosing Škoda's for their own reasons.

    Good job by Magalhaes. It was an intelligent drive, but personally I found the problems and punctures ruined this rally as someone following it.

    All in favour of diversity of events, but maybe Acropolis and Cyprus in a short championship is a bit much.

    They are good rallies to have if the competition is high... a bit of drama never hurt anyone.

    But in ERC where you have 1 proper driver and then an assortment of disgraces for the sport in R5s then it becomes bad...

    It is good if there are events where it is not only about speed, but also about thinking and driving more carefully. But I agree that it should be enough to have only one of those so rough events in the calendar. We will see next year...

    Bullshit, like usually from you. No sense to any reaction to these words

    But there is more interesting topic to discuss about Acropolis. Efthimios Halkias was excluded after final scrutineering due to fuel cell ventilation valve tampered...
