It depends on the driving style of drivers. For some drivers is more suitable Fabia, for some is more suitable Fiesta.
Many discussions in German forum rallye-magazin.de about Griebel and his ERC future after Azores desaster. I´d also say he´s lost with this car and team in ERC.
This is why I asked Pluto about the monetary value of Griebel's U28 prize.. I would have thought it was more than 100,000 Euros which buys the U27 winner two events.Quote:

Rumours in Gran Canaria about Eyvind Brynildsen´s ERC participation.
Rally Islas Canarias could be his first rally.
Lukyanuk will eat him for breakfast ;)Quote:

Maybe, but lets hope at least on gravel Eivind will give a good fight for the podium!Quote:

Oh, don't worry! In Ireland he crashed already on shakedown and in Poland on the second stage. So his crashing doesn't depend on tactics. He will always find a way! ;)Quote:

Wow, that's great ! :)Quote:

That's a weird choice unless there is a big chance to do the rest of the season - Acropolis and Cyprus are not U28 events.Quote:

Alexey Lukyanuk can win easily all rally’s except of Cyprus Rally,because I think the battle is 50-50 with legend Nasser Al-Attiyah.Also the battle with Jan Kopecký is 50-50....what is your opinion?
Kopecky -Luky 60-40%
Nasser - Luky 40-60%
For Barum Kopecký is the favorite but for sure this year Lukyanuk will have a lot of experience from Czech rallies and Barum itself and it's likely that he will be stronger than ever.Quote:

Nice little feature with Jan Kopecky, wasn't quite sure where to put it but as a former ERC Champion and R5 driver I thought here was appropriate: https://www.skoda-storyboard.com/en/...to-a-car-wash/
He had the same first car as me (Felicia 1.6)
Your first car was Felicia 1,6? You were quite a flamboyant guy. I bet you had grease in your hair and a lot of girls around ;) All normal people like me started with Felicia 1,3 :D
my first car was an ex rally Lada 2105 we used to service at the garage i worked.
