“To finish first, first you have to finish" - says Jon Armstrong:

Indeed. He's shown very good pace but needs to cut out the mistakes to get the results.Quote:

It very rarely isThere's almost always a parts or services deal in there that costs the sponsor less than the headline "value".Quote:
aaaactual money
In any case, even if it isn't cash it's still help and it's a shame that there isn't as much about as there used to be in years gone by.
The gravel stages in the Hungarian countryside are challenging, and the crowds are usually great. Veszprém as a HQ makes it easy to explore some cool spots around the rally too.
Two Swedish youngsters, Reiersen (21) and Grahn (19), to compete in Rally Hungary:

Great to see him again thanks to support from MRF. I really hope he has some good luck and a result his speed deserves.Quote:

Disappointing entry after a strong round one.
Amended entry list to order Roope Korhonen as number 1.
I must say that I am quite positively surprised. I expected it much worse...Quote:

The locals here are pretty quick though, so it's still going to be really competitive.
Problem is that there is not so many drivers doing full season. Lot of them is doing only selected events...Quote:

Interesting Romanian promising driver Cristian Sugar is in Junior ERC for the first time(last year in the belgian Clio Cup he was really fast) :cool:

Event preview:

“The race is a bit later than last year, so the stages will be even more challenging with the heat, so I’m expecting a survival race,” says Mixi Csomós. “The winner will not necessarily be the fastest driver, but the one who makes the fewest mistakes. And that’s very important, because there are 10 or 15 drivers who have a chance of winning.”
Weather forecast currently says mostly dry weather, with 14-17°C, so last year's heat will not be a factor. Also, there was plenty of rain so far, and will be some still until the weekend, which can be even more tricky on these stages than the heat.Quote:

Yes, according to the article at https://www.fiaerc.com/en/news/berta...e-erc3-counter it's a record 13 crews in ERC3 and many of them are very young.Quote:

So who will win? I think the fight wil be between Armstrong, Csomos, Ostberg and Marczyk. Don't know what to think about Korhonen.
Qualifying stage starts at 14:00.Quote:

ahh I thought i'd see the rally4 lancia on the open broadcast. they brought some car, right?
Nice close times bodes well for a great battle.
Korhonen is fast but Armstrong was fast on FP and on the QS even with a tyre off the rim. A shame for Philio Allen on QS as he was quick in practice. He is a bit crazy though.
I just hope that punctures dont decide who wins.
