Gryazin killing it once more. Give this man a Rally1 car

Lol, he barely won anything for last 3 years...cause he was always "killing it" until crash (with Polo) or with previous Fabia usually didn't have the speed to win.

DAMAGE FOR SOLBERG
Oliver Solberg has made it to the end of SS2, but not completely unscathed. He's got damage to his left rear wheel.

That's cost him over two minutes. Not the ideal start to the rally for him.

he should step back for 2 years into WRC3...WRC2 is too early for him....

Unlike Solber/Formaux/Taka who are killing it in 7th place till they crash

Some of you lot need to get off your high horses about Serderidis. It’s pathetic reading the hateful comments. He’s not affecting anyone else so I can’t see what the issue is. If he wants to spend money going rallying in a let’s face it half decent car, then there’s nothing to stop him.

If my lottery numbers came up I would be doing the same.

Wonder how many WRC results any of you complaining have got so far?

Being last is not something anyone aspires to. What kind of argument is that?

yes!

Actually Serderidis is a very good thing for the sport and i would be happy if there were 10 other drivers just like him. Then young drivers would have much higher chanche of getting to rally 1 machinery. There used to be many independent wrc drivers in the early 2000s but no one has the money anymore to drive these cars. Dont hate him hate the organizers who put him so early in the start list.

[Kras]

Take NOT with you, because you can't handle that b.utthurt alone

I thought you we're too busy hating all things rusian to pay attention to me

he could rent a rally2 or a rally3 car to have some fun and give his rally1 car to a young talent. he is supporting munster for example and that's really cool. but people should know where there talents and limits are.

I think people forget that he OWNS the car. So it doesn't make sense to rent a Rally2 or a Rally3, also nobody else would drive 3rd Puma there, probably. It's really up to the promoter what they do in the situation of one driver with top tier car, but who isn't competitive against lower tier drivers.

And as you said, he supports Munster and there are already hints that Munster will drive the Puma at the end of the season.

Obviously since Gryazin won very few rallies even though he drives all the time someone else must have won them....Rossel is one of those. Plenty more (besides WRC drivers like Mikkelsen, Suninen, Østberg and Lappi) you have Lindholm, Huttunen, Lukyanuk.

Indeed unlike Solberg and Fourmaux who won one rally each in Rally2 before going to WRC/Rally1.

Anyway the biggest surprise so far in WRC2 is Pepe Lopez.
