[IRC] 2012 Rally Islas Canarias

At least Kopecky didn't gain an unjust victory because of Andreas problem though, as we can see he actually won more stages.

Problems with the latest engine spec on the Fabia though? Misfires for both Mikkelsen and Wiegand during the rally.

I think Andreas will stand a good chance of taking his first asphalt victory in Ireland next month. Kind of weird that the reigning champion has never won on asphalt in a championship which as perceived as having too much of it!

Big thanks for Skoda Motorsport for uploading the onboards.

Edit. Wait a minute, I know that SS10... I believe it's Artedara or something like that, there's a semi-good RBR track made out of it. I recognized it from the middle part. Nice.

Edit2. 05:14, "právo pet horizont, sumppu"? Is it really "sumppu", a Finnish pacenote for a narrow place/"narrows"?

Frankly I can't identify what is Pavel saying

I will ask him, I promise

Harry Hunt retired after finish of last stage with broken fuel pump. For Andreas Mikkelsen it was a damaged electric plug.

It sounds like "sumppu" yes, but I see no "sumppu" on the coming section.

Check the right over crest

It's a clear sumppu. Funny how well it blends to Czech.

Yes there is and there is another one also later on that video..

I´ve also seen some Roman Krestas onboards where is similar ´sumppu´ word used in his pacenotes. It mixes very well indeed!!
