Stage 12 underway, very muddy and really foggy towards the end. #FIAERC #RallyAzores #GotTalentProveIt
Černý with better road position today moving ahead of Moffet.
Gryazin reported stopped
Luky stopped
Puncture after a cut and power stearing issues for @nikolay_gryazin,losing 03:38.7 to Marijan Griebel #JuniorU28 #FIAERC #RallyAzores
Gryazin Nikolay: We hit a curb with left rear, we lost powersteering and got a puncture. We drove maybe 15 kilometers without it.
He loses over 3 minutes :(
What is going on? Is it a survival event? Is anybody going to finish it?
It's fog out there.Quote:

Maybe it's better to have a slower car in those conditions? Ingram and Huttunen made excellent times on SS11 - 16th and 17th overall respectively. Better than many R5 drivers. Well done!
Luky= quaranteed drama
Kajetanowicz Kajetan: I think Lukyanuk is changing something maybe 7 kms after the stage. To be honest I really lost concentration after seeing him, I feel sorry for him. Demanding stage, asbolutely slippery, narrow and foggy.
Kajto only 5th overall on SS12.
Stage win for Griebel. JERC 2wd seems to be a really good school when you also remember Sirmacis won three events last year. Gryazin has been impressive here too.
+9,5 minutes for Luky, broken steering arm from hitting a rock.
It must be the first stage win ever in the ERC for Griebel, so congratulations from me! :)
But there is still a long way in front of him. He loses 99 stage wins to Kajto now :D
Also Moura won't do the rest of ERC and Magalhaes hasn't announced any ERC campaign either. It means Griebel and Černý are in the best championship posiiton now.Quote:

That means that Magalhaes and Moura are fighting for overall win now! Only 9 seconds between them and 4 stages to go!Quote:

I miss one stage and there it is.. the Lukyanuk drama.
Good God, have mercy! Another crash. Suárez: broken wheel and damaged rear right end. The Spaniard loses 1:45 :(
Suarez broke rear wheel again.
havoc at ss12 there is Suarez

this guy manage to destroy cars even without being fast.
Wonder how he got the drive.
Moura will absolutely go for it but if Magalhăes wins I will be so delighted for him, almost a full year away from competition and brand new car without much Kms in tests, hopefully this means we will see much more of him this year even if just on the National championship.
Yes, indeed. Back to crab mode for Suarez. I read somewhere that he won Peugeot Trophy in France. How did he manage to beat all the (usually good) French drivers with such reliability?Quote:

Magalhaes is reborned with fabia.He was not even fast with 208.Nice surprise.
Only on this one stage Jan Cerny moved from 7th to 4th overall!
One can not wake up late with Luky.
Today's stages are demanding, both Tronqueira and Graminhais are known to be very tricky and Luky is far from being the first one loosing the rally on Tronqueira, he could have asked Kopecky for example, or even Abbring's going off at the river on live TV.
Graminhais is usually foggy and has a lot of slippy/muddy kms. And Tronqueira is also very twisty at places, slippery inside the forest and is the favorite stage among many locals, we usually say "Tronqueira é madrasta" which can be translated into "Tronqueira is step-mother"(meaning it can be treacherous :p )
So basically, today is another drama day on this rally.
Live stream should start in 20min for the "race of champions" stage
SS12 is looking something like this

HAve not full info, but is there two classifications in this Rally? Kajto 5th today, without any timepenalties.
Then Lucky won 1st leg. Points?
There is only one classification but the separate leg standings are used to bring bonus points. So yes, Luky takes some points for leg 1 and Kajto possibly for leg 2.
There is a classification for the whole rally and separate points for each leg. For winning the rally you can get max 25 points. For winning each leg - 7 points. So the maximum number of points is 25 + 7 + 7 = 39.Quote:

I'm sorry if I was too harsh. I thought he was crashing all the time, regardless of the road conditions?Quote:
