A brilliant entry list ! A must watch, so will pay for a month of Rally.tv (and get Rally Estonia at the start of July) :)
I must say that I was expecting little bit more. I expected there will be more drivers who wants to get back to fast gravel (before Poland and mainly Latvia), but some of them will use Estonia I think. I expected there will be Jurkevicius, more swedish drivers like Radstrom, Kristensson, Flodin or Ahlin. I hoped for some guest driver from Finland or Estonia...Quote:

I'm happy with the 23 quality Rally2 entries, over a greater quantity. All the top ERC drivers are here, some for the first time, plus the Solbergs and Johan Kristoffersson.

So cool to see Petter back in a rallycar..
Not quite sure what speed he can achieve after not driving in anger since 2019, but I guess the bicycle principal still works, but after a few stages I guess.
Will he be able to match junior, or is he well past Petter in his development.
Also good to see a broad field of nordic drivers in RC2 and RC4, unfortunately none in RC3 yet.
want to see rx champion kristoffersson finally having better results in these bigger rallies! this is the rally of the year for me! cant wait
The startlist has good names on it, atleast 7-8 of them can fight for the victory.
Looking forward to see what speed Petter Solberg can bring out of his sleave!

Paddon:
"We’re expecting plenty of intense rallying and we’ve been working hard while we were home in New Zealand utilizing our Hyundai i20 Rally2 car to develop a few upgrades to be implemented with our European car before this event.”

Oliver will go last, Mares first and road sweeping.
Qualifiers lower than 15th run after Oliver ?
Some halt on the stage because a "fan" broke a leg and need help in stage....

I think ERC is more intersting than WRC these days.
Really good competition in quite similiar cars!
Sent fra min SM-S901B via Tapatalk
Looks like very nice stages, fast and flowing, like most of the drivers enjoy.
Reiersen had a good run and run through two weeks ago in Rally Uppland. Swedish championship.
I saw him live and can tell you he did very good. Impressive.
So not surprised he can compete with the big boys.
Exactly. Paddon and O.Solberg are WRC1 level drivers but others can compete with them when all are using Rally2 cars.Quote:

Really good battles, local heros that put pressure on the drivers aiming for the title, looking forward to next stage!

I agree with you. Modern WRC looks like a group of frustrates in comparison to ERC. All I see is constant moaning - not enough Rally1 cars, not enough manufacturers, not enough top drivers, noone knows what the rules should be, bad tyres, too many gentleman drivers, not enough young talents in the top class etc. ERC seems to have a more positive image these days.
Tidemand didn't want to come?Quote:

After 5 stages, top 11 covered by less than 30 seconds and top 20 covered by 1 minute 42 seconds.
yep! YEP! erc is the best!Quote:

Oli vs Paddon is an interesting fight eh
