Well...how about that???
http://www.lrc.lv/?m=4
only one stage but still...incredible!
Rovanpera faster from Tidemand? http://www.petrolheads.gr/images/smi...rum/dizzy2.gif
Yep, on both today's stages
Very impressive from Kalle. However I believe PT values training more than top speed on the limit. But still.
Μaybe Tidemand has to clean the road due to start position? can we check it?
And who's fastest?:)
According to the GPS tracking system Samsonas was first on the stage, then Tidemand and third car on the stage was Kalle. And Samsonas was fastest overall...
so we cant say that Kalle had an advantage. Impressive for his age and against Tidemand.We havent see somebody to be faster from him at these kind of stages.Lets see if he can continue like that at tomorrow stages.
Samsonas, Tidemand, Rovanperä is the starting order. Tidemand and Rovanperä have similar cars, but different tyres. Tidemand naturally on WRC Michelin's, but Rovanperä has Pirellis with cuts. However, 0,33s/km faster than Sweden's experienced future hope is impressive. Hopefully Kalle won't peak before he gets a driving license!
@Hartusvuori did Tidemand had any kind of problem?
Not that I've heard about anything.
Very exciting to being able to compare Kalle's times with well-known driver.
Rallying's Max Verstappen? :D
Wow... I don't have words
Great stage times from Kalle Rovanpera! Is he going to compete in the ERC Rally Liepaja? I guess he's too young?
Great stuff in Latvia and (hopefully) also in Spain. I’m leaving in a couple of hours for an exciting N+/R5/RGT/N5 battle at Rallye de Ourense. Amazingly all SS’s will also have live broadcast from local TV! Enjoy it at http://www.teleminho.com/
Tidemand slightly faster from Kalle.
http://www.lrc.lv/?m=4
Tidemand again faster 2,2 sec at 11km stage.
Rovanpera leader with 8,6 sec margin. Samsonas probably on problems
http://www.lrc.lv/?m=4
Kalle slightly faster at ss5 Nice fight.
Yep, that's a pretty tight battle I'd say. This kid is phenomenal!
after 5 stages Garcia leading with 32 sec,even after his flat tyre at stage 3

Probably not a clear stage from the young driver.Do we know what kind of problem he had?
Puncture.
Finally Tidemand wins with 9,8 sec diff from Kalle.
Impressive pace from a person that hasnt got a driver license.Didnt wait such pace against Tidemand.
Garcia won again

Some thoughts from a nice Rallye de Ourense.
Positive:
- Great job from organisers improving spectator’s safety standards: media campaigns and effective crowd control measures are making local rally fans more sensible.
– Huge diversity of rally cars: from almost road cars like the Dacia’s to the Gt’s or Proto’s (even Ramos Dytko Polo, that finish last, was among the public favorites).
– Garcia’s driving and the N+ handling: the Evo isn’t the most spectacular car around, but it’s damn fast and the set up seems perfect.
– 2wd strong field: according to SS’s stages Vidal in the S1600 Swift dominated but both the Clio and the R2 guys were always fighting and showing great speed.
Neutral:
- Swift N5 debut: the car looks nice and sounds great but suffered from many problems. Lots of work ahead to get N5’s fast on tarmac, still they‘re promising.
Negative:
- 911’s small restrictor. The “wow factor” that came from Porsche’s amazing acceleration almost disappeared. Burgo and Ares tried hard but their restricted cars are clearly slower delivering power.
– R5 driver’s performance. Vallejo still fighting to get a proper feeling from the car and Perez is probably giving his best but he’s not a top driver, yet.
IMO R5’s aren’t slower than N+’s; Canarias Rally SS’s times prove it at the beginning of the season and both Senra and Pernia managed to be at Garcia’s level on the previous events. RFEA must avoid FIA strict rules and with small changes on local regs (maybe a 35mm restrictor on the N+’s and definitely a larger one on the Gt’s) they can came out with a fair BoP, keeping the exciting diversity that every Spanish rally fan is glad and proud to have on their national rally championship.

PS: did anyone take a look on Teleminho broadcast? Was it ok?
Thanks for report !Quote:

N5 it’s the Spanish version of the Maxi Rally category. The cars use the same main components (engine, transmission, sub frame chassis, etc) but can be built over bodies of different brands. A sort of an silhouette rally car. There’s more info on the “R4 think tank” thread.Quote:
