impressive that Luky controlled the rally from stage 2 till the end.
Congrats to them.

I read a few comments even from Italian's wondering how this young rally already made it into ERC...

So Alexey Lukyanuk has shown that the days of dangerous Italian drivers are gone. He was undoubtedly the best driver of the weekend. Congratulations!
But my silent hero is the driver that nobody talks about. Grzegorz Grzyb was driving very consistently throughout the whole rally (all stage times in top 10, most in top 6) and, as a result, he finished 3rd overall! He has a reputation of a fast local driver here, someone who is quick only on the stages he knows by heart. But this season proves that he can be quick also on the unknown ground. Congratulations!
Grzyb's stage times:

The feeling is great, we finished third on the podium. It was big battle with European and Italian drivers, before the rally we didn't expect this. It's like a dream, thanks to everyone, who is with us.

Agreed. Good to see Lukyank back into the ERC lead as he is clearly the fastest driver and also beating the locals.
Also re Gryzb who is showing great consistency.
Disappointing for Gryazin after making one mistake which ruined his otherwise great performance.
And I have to praise Ingram for his very promising drive, especially after a long break and his lack of 4WD tarmac experience. Only an unlucky puncture prevented a top result and U28 win.

Yes, indeed. Very good performance by Ingram. Plus his first ever (I believe) stage win in the ERC on stage 13

Indeed good jobs by Grzyb and Ingram as has been mentioned, also Kreim deserves a mention (he did win U28 after all!)
Nordgren again a bit disappointing. He has more experience of his Fabia R5 than Ingram but I suppose less of driving on tarmac overall. Still it was a sensible drive and I hope we see him on Barum too.
Luky had it all under control, he has really matured this year. I wonder whether he can give Kopecky a run for his money on Barum?

I guess Kreim did well after having stuff stolen the day before the rally.
But his times were often quite slow and he was fortunate not to have any punctures like others.
you do realize that the power form the hybrid unit is not constant... It's there only for very short periods. So for a first time out it won't make a big differance
