What a time for Luky!! He fears nothing ;)
wow,25 sec at 11,35km faster from Sirmacis,That incar i want to watch!
Good time for Griebel, only 4s slower than Lukyanuk.
Griebel 4 sec slower from Lucas!
Griebel running on swept gravel but a great time nonetheless.
swept gravel yes,but also dust.Quote:

I hope and think Sirmacis will be faster in the light tomorrow.
Gryazin also doing well.. has he driven an R5 since Valais last year?
Sirmacis having a nightmare in the dark ! ;)
For sure not in ERC. Maybe something on test or local events in Latvia. But I dont remember any of his starts...Quote:

If Griebel keeps Sirmacis behind him, that would be really something...
'I'd like to keep Ralfs behind, but it will be difficult. Anyway I would be happy with the podium.'
I know that Roger Feghali is participating to help Rodolphe Asmar (a motortune racing driver) secure the MERC2 championship, so I think he is taking no risk and just having fun.Quote:

Excellent pace till now from Griebel.
Seeing Griebel's pace on his R5 debut, I can understand why his Opel Jnr team-mate Chris Ingram is so desperate to get himself an R5 for 2017...
Sirmacis is strangely off colour on this rally.. maybe gravel Michelin don't work so well on the tarmac? Or maybe he just doesn't like changing grip levels.
The grip at Turkey Greece and Cyprus is always strange it is mostly hard to find confident on tyre.Quote:

Only two more normal stages then?
I think SS13 and 14 listed on Rally-base do not count towards the main rally?
Gryazin crash :(

Think that was a case of Dont Cut !
Great job by young Griebel so far... clearly pushing hard over jumps !

Lukyanuk after SS10: "Very good day for us, only few small mistakes. Happy to be here thanks to my sponsors"
Yes, thank you sponsors for getting him here ! :)
It seems Sirmacis doesn't like anything in this rally. First some strange tactics in the qualifying stage, then bad times at night, and today he cannot even keep the pace of a guy who's sitting in a R5 car for the first time....Quote:

It's very strange after the excellent year he's had. Leading two cars are on Pirelli so maybe they work better here, but he was slower than his less experienced team mate too.Quote:

(2 - Sirmacis Ralfs / Šimins Artūrs): No dust on the road, it was clear. We just drive, it's OK. We want to catch Griebel and win the Golden stage.
Ralfs has grown up in Baltic roads, very fast, very smooth and sometimes nice ruts with 2WD cars. Cyprus is completeley new world for him with gravel tyres on tarmac, slower speed, rough sections etc. And we do not know Michelin performance here as well.. he is only top driver using Michelin here .. if I am not mistaken?

I know, that I will tell storyes to my kids about Hirvonen who was laughing when flying flat-out over Finland jumps, Gronholm about his talking style and adventures, Gigi Galli, F.Delecour, H.Rovanpera and so on. About most of todays drivers I can only, that "Yeah, they are fast".. And Luky is that amazing exception.
Sirmacis maybe just here for the Golden Stage money.... “I try to push and the stage near the sea is really nice, I think I can be very fast there. Budget is very important to everybody so this is a good prize. We have a set of soft tyres for the Golden Stage.”
Where can we see the Golden Stage live? Oh nevermind...

That's a shame. He used to be such a great driver!
