I don't know, sorry.
Guys, this is Kajto driving Fiat 126P in one of his first motorsport events ever:

and this is Kajto 15 years later:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f3gtRd66e5k
Do you see any similarities? :)
Eheheh very similar :)
Just recently took notice of the extensive ewrc-results.com data on rally cars and drivers (amazing work from all those ewrc guys!).
These particular data suprise me: Kajto used 5 different R5 Fiesta's on his 8 2015 ERC rallys; 4 of them were brand new, the other was almost new (with only 1 WRC2 previous event). Breen used 3 208T16 units on his 9 2015 ERC rallys; 2 were almost new (1 WRC2 event and 1 '14 ERC rally each) the other was a used one (with a full '14ERC season).

Of course it was Kajto amazing driving, with a perfect balance between speed and consistency, that made the main difference, but these material availability helps to understand the Fiesta superior reliability and how, sometimes, factory teams are only factory teams...on name.
Firstly, thanks in name of all eWRC-results.com team :)
Second, Fiesta R5 is reliable and fast when good driven as in this case. 2016 will be good, cause with new evo2 kit, the performance will boost.
With the help of his backing by M Sport (Poland), of course it´s also good for them a Fiesta R5 winning an international title.Quote:

Tluslak wiht Fiesta or Skoda in 2016?
Jordan Berfa won the Junior title in French Volant 208. So he will do the JERC program :)
It is very easy. he wants to continue in ERC. Skoda Fabia S2000 is "old" so he wants new tool. He wants Skoda again but Skoda motorsport has long wait list (and most probably he is not VIP and fast enough for them to make him some favour) so maybe he will be obliged to buy Fiesta R5. It depends on that jokers that would be revealed in January. Because current Fabia is faster than current Fiesta (no surprise)Quote:

I don't think he is so fast. Only two overall podiums in this year Cup. But who knows ...Quote:

Hello friends, today I'm going to tell you something about the popularity of rallying. In the year when Kajto won European Championship, as only the third Polish driver in history, he isn't even nominated for the "Sportsman of the Year" contest.
The list of nominated sportsmen:
Bartłomiej BONK (weight-lifting)
Paweł FAJDEK (light athletics)
Andrzej FONFARA (boxing)
Magdalena FULARCZYK-KOZŁOWSKA, Natalia MADAJ (rowing)
Krzysztof GŁOWACKI (boxing)
Joanna JĘDRZEJCZYK (MMA)
Michał JURECKI (handball)
Radosław KAWĘCKI (swimming)
Justyna KOWALCZYK i Sylwia JAŚKOWIEC (skiing)
Adam KSZCZOT (light athletics)
Michał KUBIAK (volleyball)
Robert LEWANDOWSKI (football)
Rafał MAJKA (cycling)

Weronika NOWAKOWSKA (biathlon)
Agnieszka RADWAŃSKA (tennis)
Rafał SONIK (rallying (Dakar on quads))
Kamil STOCH (ski jumping)
Marta WALCZYKIEWICZ (canoeing)
Anita WŁODARCZYK (light athletics)
Do you prefer rowing or weight-lifting?

This is sad...
Look how the popularity of rallying has decreased in the recent years. Here are some winners of this contest from the past:
1967 Sobiesław ZASADA (European Rally Champion)
2008 Robert KUBICA (Formula 1 driver)
And in 2015 Kajto isn't even among the nominated sportsmen...
And now Jarek, I will give you very honest feedback. (Please take note I am Your neighbour and not any kind of stranger from South America) From those names I know only Kowalczyk, Lewandowski,Majka, Radwanska and Stoch. Plus heard once names Sonik, Malachowski, Wlodarczyk.
Thanks for your feedback, liposh. Even for me there are some unknown names on this list, as for example:Quote:

I don't get it...
Who won it last year? Michal Kwiatkowski….?? World Road Race champion….
No, last year it was won by Kamil Stoch, a ski jumper. Kwiatkowski was third:Quote:

A real shame, as Kajto represents the true sportsman spirit: his rallying joy it's contagious and makes all rally fans happy!Quote:

Strange to see that Rafał Sonik is nominated in a quite small sport as rallyraid and no Kajetanowicz. Maybe they can choose only one people of motorsports? Of course I prefer Kajetanowicz above Sonik too.Quote:

As example, Kirsten Flipkens (tennis) won the 'Sportwomen of the Year' in Belgium in 2013 when she did one good event... She is nowhere in the world ranking.
You mean food? Polish TV is full of food programs as well. But what's a jetset sociality?Quote:

That's a good one Jarek! :)Quote:

Now seriously: I hope Kajto get into WRC2. It'll be refreshing for WRC to have a talented guy that it's always cheerful about rallying. A real switch for all the seriousness that become predominant after the arrival of the french champs...
I really wasn't joking! I have never seen anybody calling football "foot" :) I was sure you meant food :) And I have never heard about jet set socialites. I think we call them celebrities here.Quote:
