They are just in the ERC list, they have been moved from the CIR one to the ERC one. Andre probably saw them still in the CIR list because it wasn't updated.Quote:

In the meantime - Alex Lukyanuk on a series of Italian hairpins:

Yes focus206. Now fixed.
Kajto in action on the free practice session, this time with some nice hard rock music in the background :)

JERC leader Zawada out already in SS2. Current leaderboard: 1. Ingram, 2. Mareš, 3. Huttunen, 4. Kupec.
Abarth GT group nowhere near Dumas in SS2.
Big crash of Thurn und Taxis blocked the road in SS3...

Dosent look that big of a crash. There goes 1/4 of todays km's...
Only 3 stages are through and so many drivers already out:
von Thurn und Taxis Albert - accident on SS 3
Melegari Zelindo - withdrown due to personal reasons
Remennik Sergei - accident on SS 2
Suárez José António - accident on SS 2
Zawada Aleks - technical problem - transmissions on SS 2
Kajto describes his strategy in the second part of the season - “The best way to explain my strategy is to see my place in the FIA European Rally Championship at this moment. Of course it’s not easy to drive fast and carefully and it’s hard to find a compromise. My plan is simple: to be a champion for the third time.

Perfectly sensible. Without Lukyanuk's injury things would have been different and Kajto might have had to have pushed more.Quote:

Different stage conditions e.t.c. but top ERC are crews are roughly on a par with top Italian crews so far.
Real shame Zawada going out after getting crowd-funding from family and friends just to be here.. :(
he cant do any different.His only choice.Quote:

Problems with spectators again! Stage 4 delayed.
Aleks Zawada is distraught:

Both official Peugeots are out after SS4.
The BRC has just finished on Rally Isle of Man (won by Keith Cronin in an M-Sport Fiesta, who took the title by 1 point over Freddie Ahlin after winning Round 8 by 0.1s !!!). :D

Now I can concentrate on the ERC... ;)
On SS4 Lukyanuk, Kajetanowicz and Bouffier are faster than all Italian championship drivers. Maybe it is raining or something?Quote:

Yes i think there was some rain for later drivers so comparisons are fairly meaningless.Quote:

I'm impressed with how high class the Italian competition is keeping compared to the international drivers.
I'm surprised there aren't more Italians on the international scene.
Even in the strongest IRC years local Italians were able to fight for the victory on their home soil (Andreucci, Basso at least).
Is there anywhere showing combined ERC & CIR results?
No, I don't think so. You have to look at both results separately.Quote:

Actually the Italian rally scene used to be much stronger a few years ago. Now it's just a shadow of its former self. Do you remember such names as Rossetti, Basso, Travaglia, Aghini, Dallavilla, Navarra, Cunico...Quote:

Very good time for Nucita with Abarth 124 on SS5.
Yes, Suarez crashed again and Lopes had power steering fluid leak. What a disaster for the Peugeot team.Quote:
