Are you sure about Rendina? He is not in Azores...

[RS]

Are you sure about Rendina? He is not in Azores...

He was supposed to do the whole championship but I don't know why he is missing from Azores.

[RS]

And someone else I hope that visit Gran Canaria

So, give us a clue? :)

[106 sport]

That isn't the official entry list.

I read somewhere that Lukyanuk did send his entry. We have to wait a few days for confirmation, because the entry list will be published on Monday, April 24.

He will be on entry list. Like I told before, dont waste time with this "unofficial" entry lists...

[PLuto]

There will be more than 30 ERC registered drivers...

Yesterday it was the presentation, they talked about 20/22 R5...I expected 25/28...

I think that Bouffier will not be in Gran Canaria.


The ERC will be in Gran Canaria at least to 2019. Good news!!!

I am quite surprised. Spectator´s safety is really bad. How can it be in same championship with Barum Czech rally Zlin where spectators needs telescope because they are standing hundreds of meters far from the road?

Canarias is not so bad like in spanish mainland, if I remember well. But when we can see Rally Poland in WRC, everything is possible ;)

[mousti]

27 R5 including Magalhaes and Bouffier.

[Andre Oliveira]

Great see Magalhães' there

[Jarek Z]

The organizers talk about 27 R5 and 24 R2 cars in the article on the official website. They are mentioning Alexey Lukyanuk, Kajetan Kajetanowicz, Bruno Magalhaes, Bryan Bouffier, Marijan Griebel, Max Rendina, Sylvain Michel, Pedro Burgo, Yeray Lemes, Antonin Tlustak, Murat Bustanci, Cristian García, Luis Monzón, José Antonio Suárez, Pepe López, Surhayén Pernía, Iván Ares, Sergio Vallejo, David Bótka... It is going to be a very good entry list.

First sentence I was right.

Second sentence I was wrong fortunately

[Antreas]

if magalhaes get a good result in canarias, I think doing all erc rounds

[Andre Oliveira]

Not sure. He have lack of budget. Start Canarias is surprisingly...

[Jarek Z]

Kajetanowicz wanted to test his car before the dry and sunny Rally Islas Canarias, but instead of the spring conditions he found winter ;) The weather is crazy in Poland now. Video from Kajto's test session can be found here:

Looks like Josh Moffet is not entried

[pucky54]

Looks like Josh Moffet is not entried

That's correct, but his name is Moffett

[RS]

Anyone know why that is for Moffett? I thought he had the budget for the first few events.

[mousti]

I think starting would have been difficult anyways thanks to this crash..

Well, I've decided to gamble: I've put him on the 1.place in my pickem!!

[Rally Power]

What car local fans mostly want to see on this year Canarias Rally? If you’re thinking at any of the top R5’s used by ERC aces you’re wrong; all eyes will be on local champ JM Ponce and his new rally beast…the Seat JTR S600!!!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KhmQehueN1w
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AyxqG8zNPz0
http://www.jtr-racing.com/v2/index.php/novedades/

Tubular proto built in Almeria (spain) by JTR Racing, using the iconic Seat 600 body and a Suzuki Hayabusa bike engine (205hp for 615kg). It’s been used in hill climbing races and Ponce (a celebrated M3 driver) is apparently making its debut on a rally. Best luck for him. Can’t wait for the videos!

Rendina is 19th ;)

[br21]

I think starting position there is not that important, as in general there is no cutting, so roads stay clean. Some drivers saved the tires and it might be more important in long term.

Habaj not starting after crash during FP. His start in Acropolis is not sure also now.

https://www.fiaerc.com/no-erc-start-for-habaj/

[Jarek Z]

It is sometimes funny how two drivers see the same stage in a completely different way. Just look at Magalhaes and Kajetanowicz after SS2:

Kajetanowicz: It was a very exciting stage. Tarmac is so adhesive, tyres are amazing, it is unbelievable.
Magalhães: It was very slippery, I did not expect it. I tried to do it good but it was very difficult for me.

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Good job that barrier was there !

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C_DyFlDXYAAI3yY.jpg

The Peugeots are going well but this smooth tarmac is their natural territory.

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Timing with Splits: http://online2.atodomotor.com/online/2017/islascanarias/

[Jarek Z]

Although I havent placed him that high in my pickems am expecting good things from Yeray Lemes.

Lemes was 14th overall on SS1, 19 seconds slower than Lukyanuk. Is that what you expected? ;)

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Zawada takes 5.4s out of Ingram on SS2 ! Maybe Ingram destroyed his tyres on that first stage charge ?

[Mirek]

Great pace by Karel Kupec so far. It's his second major foreign event.

[Jarek Z]

Lukyanuk wins all 3 stages so far, but he gets 10 seconds penalty on SS2 and is only 3 seconds before Kajto now.

[Mirek]

Vallejo and Burgo are even slower. On the other hand Ares is doing very well.

[itix]

Good job that barrier was there !

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C_DyFlDXYAAI3yY.jpg

Reminds me a bit abour Krestas off in RMC early 2000's actually. A bit more holding his car in place though.

Lukyanuk 'just warming up' is 10s faster than anyone !

Edit: Suarez just 6s slower.

BTW, why no Sirmacis here ? I saw he just signed up with new management (Vatanen).

[Jarek Z]

I have just had a look at the results of SS7 in ERC3. It looks quite impressive. On a long 25-kilometer stage (total time 16 min 44s) the top 5 drivers finished within 5 seconds! Timo van der Marel made his first stage win.

I'd love to know if Huttunen has improved his tarmac pace since the start, as he has been very close to Ingram since SS1 where he lost 19sec.
Or has Ingram just been going steady and keeping the gap ?

[Mirek]

Alex and Alex have done it! Massive congratulations, for me suprisingly crushing victory!

[itix]

Finally Luky! Well deserved win!

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Great win by Lukyanuk on asphalt - the fastest driver, winning fair and square and with no mistakes.

Good job by Kajto in 2nd, but he has a real battle on his hands this season.

Congrats to Magalhães getting a podium after never driving the Fabia R5 before !

[Mirek]

Congrats to Magalhães getting a podium after never driving the Fabia R5 before !

He won Acores with Fabia ;) This was his first asphalt rally with it though.

[itix]

Btw... I didn't quite catch what happened to Suarez yesterday. He lost loads of time SS4, SS5 and SS6. Someone mentioned engine problems, do we know any more about this?

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Another win in U27 for Chris Ingram.. great start to the season. :)

[Mirek]

He is the most experienced one there now. Huttunen, Van der Marel or Kupec are nowhere near in terms of experience. In any case in Ingram they have someone to learn from.

Pity Mareš had a technical problem on the penultimate stage. It would be a nice result for both Czech juniors.

[Rally Power]

What to say more about Lukyanuk supreme speed? Only that it’ll be totally unfair if he eventually doesn’t become ERC champ (well, maybe he could wait another year in case Magalhães runs the champ‘ship…) as he’s the bravest and most talented driver in the series. Hats off also to Arnautov’s, for his courage and competence.

Huge congrats to Bruno and Hugo Magalhães!!! They prove they can be top ERC contenders and they’re still leading the series…let’s hope their sponsors (and some new ones) can give them the chance to run more events this year. Congrats also to ARC Sport, the Portuguese team that owns and runs Bruno’s Fabia; they can be a small team from a countryside town, but they’re hugely competent and passionate.

Nice job from Ivan Ares (a former 911 driver), clearly the fastest among Spanish drivers, and a big applause for the brave JM Ponce and his co driver, Carlos Larrode. Certainly it wasn’t easy to drive (and codrive) the tiny Seat JTR Proto on Canarias stages, but their effort was far from being ridiculous; without the 4m they lost at yesterday SSS and today penalty they’d certainly get to the top 5 in local champ’ship, only behind R5’s and 911’s.

Overall, another great (island) rally to follow on a very promising ’17 ERC season!

[WUff1]

A rather boring rally. ERC is not back again it seems, lot of gentlemen drivers as regulars (except for guys like Luky, Kajto and hopefully Magalhaes this year), top ten with at least 50% national drivers, like last year.

Biggest dissapointment: Bouffier. Just a shadow of former years. Also Griebel seemed to drive on a safe mode for the whole rally.

[Mirek]

By the way now I see that aside of U27 Ingram won among all R2 by 0,1 seconds over Delgado.

[Andre Oliveira]

Rallypower, the Skoda Fabia R5 are owned by Aloísio Monteiro and serviced by ARC Sport ;) Not the same.

Super result of Bruno and my friend Hugo. They deserve all the best things are going on in this season.

Luky? Superbe, another level all weekend and in a non EVO2 car (Kajto EVO2). Congrats Alexey and Arnautov :)

don't think that Magalhaes is at same level as Luky.

[dupanton]

Great performance for Luky and Magelhaes (probably leading the championship?), but also for Michel, for who it was his first foreign event I think. He finished only 9s behind Lopez and in front of Griebel and Gryazin. He will suffer on gravel for sure, but might fight for the title anyway.
I don't understand what happened with Bouffier this weekend. Never was fast, very disappointing. Same for Griebel who should have been up there with Lopez and Michel.

Get in ! 2 out of 2 ! What an insane rally 😳👌 one of the most rewarding wins yet 😅 car was fantastic @Opel and perfect job @EAERallying https://t.co/hX7oEvqmOE

Not much competition at the front for sure, Lukyanuk really dominated. Very strong on tarmac now, Kopecky should be worried for Barum.

No sure I agree on your analysis of the rest, who are these regular gentleman drivers you are referring to? The younsters aren't yet consistent enough but I think Gryazin, Griebel, Michel and the Peugeot guys all seem to have potential.

Do agree on Bouffier though, I don't know what's happened to him. He wasn't great on Monte or Corsica but I thought at the time that was just because he was up against Mikkelsen in a works Skoda. I was glad to see him join the championship but i hope he improves and gets up to speed again soon.

[RS]

I must say this crash is very well documented. Kasperczyk has never been that famous ;)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1FXfClBq5MQ

Indeed.. I expect his sponsors are delighted with his performance this weekend. Half a million views on Youtube.

I meant drivers like Thurn und Taxis, Botka, the Polish guys, Bostanci and so on. About the Peugeot guys, Michel, Gryazin and others I´m with you, About Griebel I´m not sure. At Cyprus last year there was no real competition, at Azores he might have been lucky, but this time he didn´t mention any problems with the car in after stage comments, but just only reached 10th position. I´d expected more from him.

[CWJ]

Griebels focus is actually U28 R5 where he increased his lead...

That's fair enough.. although Kasperczyck and Grzyb I don't think are old (?) so maybe have some potential, same for Bostanci.. but I agree their performances haven't been good so far.

[Jarek Z]

That's fair enough.. although Kasperczyck and Grzyb I don't think are old (?) so maybe have some potential, same for Bostanci.. but I agree their performances haven't been good so far.

Grzegorz Grzyb is 40 years old, he is current Polish rally champion, 4-times Slovakian rally champion, Polish Super 1600 winner in 2007 and has many other class titles on his account. He was also an official driver for Peugeot Polska team. He will never be European champion, but comparing him to gentleman drivers is an insult.

Maybe I'm strange, but I liked Rally Islas Canarias a lot and don't understand Wuffs1's criticism.

[Mirek]

Also U27 mixed with some local 2WD drivers was very good in Canarias.

[Rally Power]

Maybe I'm strange, but I liked Rally Islas Canarias a lot and don't understand Wuffs1's criticism.

I liked too and I’m quite optimistic about ’17 ERC, but Wuff remark is understandable. Having just 3 or 4 favourite drivers in the series is a bit short, but as long each event provides strong local drivers fields we shouldn’t be unhappy. Actually, local drivers ability to fight with ERC regulars has been one of the series upsides and distinctive signs. I also believe that some of the U28’s drivers will be able to progress and discuss first places in a short time.

[Rally Power]

don't think that Magalhaes is at same level as Luky.

Agree. What I meant to say is that if Magalhães manages to run the series (it’s not certain yet) I’ll be obviously wishing he wins it, despite having no doubts that Lukyanuk is one step above all the others and deserves to get his name on ERC’s champions honour roll.


Rallypower, the Skoda Fabia R5 are owned by Aloísio Monteiro
Interesting. I don’t know the details of the deal between Monteiro and ARC, but what matters to underline is that ARC Sport has one (now two, apparently) brand new Fabia R5 available for Magalhães (and other drivers) and they’re a hugely reliable team.

[Jarek Z]

Strange choice for Colin McRae Trophy:

[Mirek]

Agree. For me there was only possible name for the trophy - Lukyanuk.

[Jarek Z]

Really? Has there ever been more? Either in ERC or WRC?

Exactly! That's a plus of the series, not a disadvantage.

With such driving style it's easy to make a mistake :)

It's kind of difficult to speak about 3-4 drivers. The thing is that unlike in WRC the ERC drivers aren't totally dominant everywhere they go (at least not that much since Škoda works team left the competition). In other words the same drivers who could have been rather slow in Canarias may and possibly will shine elsewhere. For example I'm quite sure that Černý can fight for the podium in Barum, Gryazin or Sirmacis will be very strong in Liepaja, Gryzb in Rzeszów etc.

[Fast Eddie WRC]

[Mirek]

Yesterday during Rally Vyškov Zdeněk Pokorný (owner of Černý's car and an active rally driver himself) said that the team actually wanted to restart under superally but it was not possible due to lack of some spares available for reasonable price. He said the damage to the car isn't that bad as it looks on the photos.

Jarek, this particular rails were possibly already damaged from Robert Kubica. Maybe without his crash the concrete fundaments would resit.

What I like about the ERC is that the local drivers can compete on a semi-even playing field with the ERC series regulars (of course their equipment may not be quite as good). Whereas in WRC/WRC2 you have no chance being against the factory teams. So this does give more variety and the potential for an upset. But I do agree that this round was a little bit of a disappointment in the lack of the other ERC regulars being able to keep up with the clearly best driver. However I am big Alexey fan, so I am glad to see him get a car to a finish line and the perfect result.

[Fast Eddie WRC]

I'd love to know if Huttunen has improved his tarmac pace since the start, as he has been very close to Ingram since SS1 where he lost 19sec.
Or has Ingram just been going steady and keeping the gap ?

Ingram answered my question, stating at the end that he won the rally on the 1st stage and then just controlled his pace thereafter taking no risks.

I genuinely thought all these years that they actually hit the end of the guard rail which I assumed was sticking out (which is a really stupid design sometimes seen in italy and some other countries).

That has to count as the shitiest design of all time.

[Hartusvuori]

Ingram answered my question, stating at the end that he won the rally on the 1st stage and then just controlled his pace thereafter taking no risks.

Huttunen's press release said he had set up issues on SS1 which made the car understeer a lot and in order to preserve tyres he lost a lot of time. They did set up work throughout the event.

Ingram could say he just controlled his pace, but a lead that was never over a half a minute is hardly a safe lead. A slow puncture or spins could've changed it all. Also, Ingram started ahead of Huttunen. Still, Ingram hasn't put a foot wrong on these first two events, it must be said. I am very entertained by this duel and of course hoping that Huttunen could take the next round

Huttunen has been so far hugely impressive. Ingram is doing fourth consecutive ERC season while for Huttunen everything is completely new. I'm looking forward how he can progress further.

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Assuming he was brought up on gravel, if Huttunen was matching Ingram for pace on tarmac that would be pretty incredible.

Edit
No, bad assumption... he started in karting. He also won the ADAC Opel Rally Cup which includes several tarmac rallies.

[Jarek Z]

Guys, have you ever wondered who is the most popular driver in the ERC? Maybe Lukyanuk, who totally dominated Rally Islas Canarias and won it in a great style? No, I look at the YouTube video "The best of Lukyanuk" and what do I see? Only 4000 views. Far from impressive.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-lwle-xUqrc

So maybe Kajetanowicz, two-time European Rally Champion? I look at the YouTube video "Kajetanowicz/Baran - Leg 2 Highlights"... Phew! Just 1600 views!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Q4cErGcVp0

But look at Kasperczyk.... Now that is a completely different story and completely different numbers! 790 000 views! Everyone has their 5 minutes of fame :)

So how come that is?

[Fast Eddie WRC]

So how come that is?

That was because he crashed and the barrier saved him from a big fall down the hillside. The video was linked on other car sites hence all the views.

[stefanvv]

Because most of the viewers don't care about rally at all.
