Happy for my two favourites... Ingram won & Moffett a podium.
Agree Huttunen was mega impressive.
What a rally to start the ERC season !

drama haven't finished yet...
And there was drama in #ERC2 as well... Sergei Remennik retired in ss15, this means Luís Pimentel is the winner! Congratulations! #FIAERC

That's a lesson for him next time - "very sharp" means "don't cut", just as with the knives.Quote:

PS It's a beautiful stage but the first kilometers on asphalt are quite useless.
The year he won, he was absolutely dominating, almost winning all events if I recall correctly.Quote:

Huge congrats to Bruno and Hugo! A top speed and faultless rally from this brave crew. It's really a shame they can't get more chances to compete. Congrats also to ARC Sport, the team that rented and serviced the Fabia, for another win on an ERC event.
I just followed the rally first day, but from the forum posts and TV highlights it seems this was a thought one! Lukyanuk and Huttunen (and also the Russian fellow that was leading ERC Gr.N) were really unlucky and deserved better. Moura also deserved to be able to fight till the last SS but, no matter what, this time it was Bruno’s time!
Above all, another fantastic Açores Rally and a nice ERC season start, promising the series will be interesting to follow all year long.
It was a tough challenge, which is what we want to see! Granted there were a couple silly mistakes, but nobody wants to see a cruise around to the finish.Quote:

The goddess of luck hates him.
He touches a stone that is in the barrier.
Quite disappointed by the ES coverage of Day 2, it didnt convey the drama well at all.
Hit big stone inside the corner. It's not very clear from the outside video unless You watch very carefully, from incar video though it was obvious.Quote:

Hope the Fiesta joker parts include stronger steering arms :)

On Lukyanuk's onboard images is visible a kind of bulge on the codriver side of the windscreen. What´s that ?Quote:

Real nice footage, but you could call it Ford Turkey highlights; other way it looks a bit strange (few images from other crews and no images at all from any ERC category winners!).Quote:
