Yes, you are right, it is amazing but it does sound a little bit like 'Golden Boot for Stevenage in Football League 2".

As I said, Paddon - 30+ year old 2WD car, beat R5 cars and a WRC car... That is a little bit more impressive and no-one seemed to care...

Paddon has had his credits, well worth too. But it has nothing to do with Lukyanuk.

My point is, learn to walk before you run. Get the confidence and experience, then go fast. Being fast on rallies you know like the back of your hand is one thing, getting in a new machine in a rally you've done once and then going fast?

People here were expecting him to be in the top 5, just look at the pickems - ridiculous.

I didn´t expect him top 8, (but havent done Pickem yet) but saying he even can´t walk is too much. He has proven much more than that.

No rally finland for Lukyanuk https://www.youtube.com/watch?list=P...&v=0IW1orMRBJI

Any jumps before this spot or was it a first .. ?

What You say applies for young drivers. Lukyanuk is 35 years old. For him the only (and already little) chance is to make something stunning. There is absolutely zero point in safe cruising and learning step by step as nobody gives him the chance to do so. What happened is of course a shame but sometimes shit happens.

But - yes - he is not clewer enough working his speed up.
For us who wasn´t on place no one can comment why or how this happened.

I feel sorry for him. Had been looking forward seeing him in NORF all the way to finish.

Look at the Estonia results, the event clearly was very friendly to N4 cars for performance

I'm disappointed this has happened to him though, I saw him doing the Circuit of Ireland, I expected some crazy mad driving and once the event started what I saw was a guy taking time to learn his way and getting to a respectable pace. Perhaps here in Finland he had a great chance and was trying too hard to make it all happen? Who knows, but its a shame he'll not be on the start line for SS1

If he'd gone off on SS2 in the rally then I think what you say would be completely correct.

Yes that's it basically what he did. Game over.
