Gryazin was the one who might do a mistake fighting with Luky, not the other way around !
Good battle behind between Ingram and Kreim.
Or then again...no need to score any more pointsQuote:

His car is OK after SS4...

Gryazin fastest on every stage so far today.
I remember after he crashed on Rajd Rzeszowski 2017, I got criticised after describing him as one of the top driver's ...
He´s matured enough to go to WRC2 next year.
In terms of competitiveness, i don't really see WRC2 as much of a step up any more, but of course it's closer to WRC and any driver wanting a career in a WRC team should go there eventually.Quote:

That was what I meant. Not many go from ERC direct to WRC spec car...Quote:

I hope Gryazin gets a chance but has he got the backing ?
I think so, yes. He has done a lot of events all around Europe these last couple of years.Quote:

It will help if he can get the ERC U28 prize.Quote:

If he does get the prize I would like to see him use it for a more complete ERC season or WRC2.. not spunk it away on a one off event in an old WRCar like Griebel did in Germany.Quote:

Hopefully Luky and our forum friend Lehus will appear in Latvia and set the record straight :)
Yeah, good luck to them! By the way, Lukyanuk explains his mistake here:

Ingram takes 9s off Kreim on SS11.
Opel mechanics managed to repair the car and Martins Sesks restarted the rally. But it seems there are still some holes in the car after yesterday's crash :)
"We are like in Safari, after yesterday's crash there are some holes so a lot of dust inside."

Ingram takes more time off Kreim on SS12 even though he was driving while trying to shut his door !
Hopefully no deers today!

SS13 Gryazin 4.1 slower than Huttunen. His lead is now down to 8.9' with 2 stages to go and only used tires left !
#FIAERC #RallyPoland https://t.co/NmrWMI7Bhk
One stage to go now. Huttunen closes the gap further but was late to tc and will receive a penalty.
What a shame, this penalty. He was down to 2,9s... Anyway, amazing rally from Huttunen. Keeping up with Gryazin on baltic stages, while driving a Hyundai, is an amazing performance!
I wondered what was going on... Huttunen faster but lost time !Quote:

Kreim slow on the last stage...
Ingram takes an overall podium !! :D
Gryazin wins both the rally overall and U28... well deserved, although Huttunen's time penalty cost him the win.
It's not fair to say that Huttunen would have won without the penalty. Gryazin probably didn't push all the way on the last stage, as it was not needed anymore.Quote:

Who knows, Gryazin said sorry to Huttunen for his penalty.Quote:

Despite crashing out twice in the same rally Martins Sesks is the new Junior U27 European Champion. Congratulations!

Despite only 7th place in this rally Grzegorz Grzyb managed to secure his second Polish championship title. Congratulations!
