Good entry list.

It is known if Erik Cais is going to do full ERC?

[PLuto]

Good entry list.

It is known if Erik Cais is going to do full ERC?

It is not known yet. He will do combination Czech championship + ERC. There are some date clashes and like with everything - it is mainly about budget...

[PLuto]

For me, the biggest surprise is absence of Ferenc Vincze.

[saco0o]

is it allowed to race one of those electric Opel from Deutschland in ERC?

Thanks for the info.

[Tom K]

Do we have any Hungarian fans here who have some knowledge about stages? Did spring came to Balaton already?

[PLuto]

is it allowed to race one of those electric Opel from Deutschland in ERC?

I dont think so. This electric Opel cannot do enough kms without re-charging to suit any normal rally. Always they must have specific itinerary with long breaks ;)

[Jarek Z]

The other competitors don't have enough time to wait until those Opels recharge ;)

And you also have to consider the health of older people:

Wasn’t expecting anti electric nonsense in here already.

Ostberg seems to be out as he didn't do the QS...

Ostberg didn't participate in qualifying stage because of health issues.

Keep an eye on this name. Jaspar Vaher from Estonia.


Haven’t been this excited for a long time for such a promising talent

He’s now withdrawn from the event.

Vaher was absurdly quick indeed

thanks for that one, mate!

i find really awesome to see some of the local drivers that dont speak english saying some basic words like "cars is good, track is slippery. very happy. thank you" in the after-stage interviews, with a big smile on their faces. that made me think that if I were a rally driver, im not a biiiiig fan of these after stage talk, i'd never give out that i know 'proper' english. i'd only say a few words in my language with a big smile and thats it. haha ott should start doing that, since he looks always very unconfortable on post stage interviews. or not, maybe too late for him lol

[saco0o]

jon armstrong drove reeeeaally agressive on the special stage. loved!

Havent seen it listed but it's usually the Tuesday after the event.

[TypeR]

SS3 looks like a really nice stage with many wide and fast sections..
Some places and footage look like they are from rally Kenya Safari :D

[EstWRC]

Vaher also won SS2 in his class

Let see on the long stage now

[Lead]

Nice speed already from Sesks in the new car.

[Rallyper]

This stage looks like Kenya or something like that.

[EstWRC]

Damn. Puncture for Vaher but nevertheless a great showing so far anyway

[Negaiss]

Great to see Sesks on pace in a rally which he have not done and with a new car. Looks like Sesks have matured in a proper rally driver and talent has come out. Hope to see him in WRC Latvia in Rally 1 car.

What's happening with Mares struggling in the new Yaris, yet the others in them are leading ?

[Mirek]

What's happening with Mares struggling in the new Yaris, yet the others in them are leading ?

He changed both the car and tyres (for Hankook) and it seems he is kind of lost in too many changes at the same time.

The stages in the opened areas are very nice for the live TV I have to say!

[Mirek]

Heikkilä out :(

The rim spokes broke and after that the whole suspension as well.

[RS]

Top three very close in three different cars.. good stuff.

[RS]

Also three different tyre suppliers.

Gutted for Heikkilä... he gets all the bad luck.

I guess so. Plus he's road sweeping today.

Sesks leads now in another Yaris so the car is good.

[Jarek Z]

Damn. Puncture for Vaher but nevertheless a great showing so far anyway

Punctures also for Marczyk, on SS8 and SS11. Luckily for him and thanks to good driving on previous stages, he only drops down from 6th to the 7th place.

Great driving from Sesks. But will he be so fast also on tarmac?

[Mirek]

Sesks hit something in the grass when spinning and is topped on the stage!

[Jarek Z]

A couple of hard landings on this high speed jump. Did the first landing end the rally for Llarena? I heard he damaged the front of his car after a bad jump.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5fU9ZK3v130

[Mirek]

LR suspension of Sesks is broken.

[Jarek Z]

What a strike of bad luck for Sesks! :(

Yesterday I thought we will see Toyotas in the first two positions, but now they are both out.

[Fast Eddie WRC]

And Mares now actually the top Toyota !

[Mirek]

And now the RL suspension broke for Mareš as well (seemengly without hitting anything). It happened int he very last corner so he might be able to get to the rally finish.

Seems that Toyota's suspension is a lot more fragile than that of Škoda.

[TypeR]

Another puncture for Marczyk, front right..

Using too low pressures or just driving style?

E: Cais also FR puncture.
Both driving w Michelins

[Fast Eddie WRC]

JUNIOR ERC WINNER !
It's a (Max) McRae win in the ERC for the first time since 1996 when dad Alister won the Rally of Wales !

[TypeR]

Paddon also puncture.. possible podium lost

Didn't Skoda have some problems in this area last year too?

[Mirek]

Hands up who guessed Tempestini would win ;)

Hatts off to Tempestini and Franceschi for their performance.

[Fast Eddie WRC]

A Top 10 finish for Jon Armstrong is a solid start in his step up to Rally2 machinery. Plenty of seat time and learning here will be invaluable going forward.

[RS]

Win for Tempestini!

Great fightback by Franceschi with mega time on power stage.

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Paddon also puncture.. possible podium lost

It is lost... very harsh on the Kiwi

Who is the new presenter on RallyTV ? This new girl presenting with Julian Porter.

Congratulations! It's a first ever win for Simone Tempestini in the European Championship!

Seems they're back to recycling the same rubbish.

She used to do it. Briefly...

E: Cais also FR puncture.
Both driving w Michelins

It was not about Pirelli or Michelin, but it was last stage of the event. Stage was very rough and as you have only 16 tyres for whole race, everybody was using on last loop "the best from the used" tyres. So it is easier to get a puncture...

[WRCStan]

Seems they're back to recycling the same rubbish.

She used to do it. Briefly...

She's an active member of this forum and will read that, would you say that to her face?

I don't know that's actually true, but it could be. She's a human being. No need for comments like that.

Naughty Allen penalised for speeding...

I’ve been unable to find it on TNT so far unless i’ve missed it?

No it's not been on and is not listed when I searched. Strange as the highlights were on TNT last season. Hopefully it turns up.

I also see that Sporty Stuff channel has disappeared which is a shame as rallying appeared on it quite often. :(

https://rallyjournal.com/british-driver-faces-hefty-fines-for-serious-offence-at-erc-rally/

161kph, in road mode? Geez.

"Allen also stated that he was unaware the speed limit on that particular road was only 60 kilometres per hour."

:D He thought he was well under the 180kph limit.

Thanks Eddie.

I don't know how it is in other countries but it would be pretty disappointing if all we got in the UK was Youtube highlights if you haven't got the Rally TV app!

Indeed.

I've contacted TNT and also Becs & Julian on socials to see if they know if it's going to be on.
