Of course. I know you are "The grumpy and old one" here and it is your "thing" and I really think you are doing your best at being grumpy, so I respect all that hard work and admire all your effort but I just can´t be like you. Sorry. Some of us are happy in our livesQuote:

Cerny will not be in Gran Canaria, it is a pity.

Expect Lukyanuk to dominate at the front.
Ingram crashed now on test
repairable crash Bartek?Quote:

To be honest I would not bet on him starting the rally. Quite impossible to say how bad the damage is but it certainly can be bad.Quote:

I hope this is correct, still waiting for confirmation...
Confirmed !! :)

Good job after this damage...

Good he can start. From this angle the damage looks far less severe indeed. That aside, and likely decided by the sponsor, but an all-black car has to be a big disadvantage in warm conditions...
@ChrisIngramGB Made a school boy error on cold tyres today whilst pushing to the limits, luckily I have an amazing team who fixed the car within a few hours! Amazing job guys. @toksportwrt @FIAERC

Lukyanuk also broke wheel. Nothing special though.
Maybe in Acropolis, but it is not that hot on Canary Islands? In the photo that Fast Eddie WRC posted, they are even wearing jackets.Quote:

No FP1 run by Chris Ingram ??
Or FP2... :(
Ingram was sick so no FP.
(11 - Ingram Chris / Whittock Ross): I feel pretty rubish, I just needed to get through and get ready for tomorrow. I have a temperature, I hope to be a different man tomorrow.
Ingram ran the qualifying but is not feeling well.
Lukyanuk quickest so far, Kreim good and von Thurn und Taxis quite impressive - I think he has done some circuit racing and these roads are the closest you can get to that in rallying I suppose.
Gryazin fastest in the end. Good results for Suarez and Ares, proving the i20 can compete with the Fabia and Fiesta.
The i20 proving able to compete will take more than a qualifying stage. Lets see in the rally and also check for reliability.Quote:

Nothing to prove ? The i20 has the following record in ERC:
Events: 3
Starts: 6
Stage wins: 0
