Will be interesting to see if Lukyanuk still got the speed.
Last season Jan Cerny really endeared himself to the Canary Islands spectators with his spectacular driving with the importer's i20 so wouldnt be at all surprised if he goes for spectacle over a result but you never knowQuote:

Cyprus-based Lukyanuk, 43, said: "I will return to the ERC on Rally Islas Canarias hand in hand with Hyundai Canarias and the i20 Rally2 car. We’re really excited to compete on my favourite event, we’ve had massive success before so we hope to deliver a good result again.”

how long since the last time a Msport Fiesta won a round of the ERC?
I think this event back in November 2020 but I might be mistaken.Quote:

Top 3 Qualifying Stage:
Yoan Bonato 1:53.8
Diego Ruiloba + 0.1
Miklós Csomós +0.2
Bonato said he didnt want to be fastest and so be first on the road as he suffered in that position last time.
Oh dear Luis Monzon! Super Special always seems to catch someone out on this rally
looks like they changed to this link (live now)Quote:

Whats the point of that part, inside?
If you show, you crash, if you are smart, its not exiting to watch.

And 5th on SS4 - just 0.1s behind Bonato !!
Anyone know or seen what happened to Csomós on SS3? I've seen tweets reporting it was a heavy crash but not much else. Hope everyone's okay, this rally always scares the shit out of me.
Here is picture after crash:

That is a scary scary wreck.
Crew taken to hospital for precautionary checks.Quote:

They say it was because they had the tyre off the rim, but even they are not sure exactly what happened... They are more or less feeling OK, but pretty sore (the hit was over 17G).
didnt csosmos also had a really hard crash in canaria last year too?

i have no Idea what this Rally has to offer WRC next year...there are a few interesting Tarmac Rallye´s, but this is definitly boring, zero excitement
SS5: Cachón
Drama in here for the rally leader who has lost 13.1sec on the split to Bonato!
Front right tyre damage for the Spaniard. Loses 40.6sec total in the stage and drops out of the rally lead.
"I don't know [what happened]. There are a lot of ruts on the insides, maybe I touched something and I punctured."
SS5: Jon Armstrong 5th fastest again and now 5th Overall !
Having seen the onboard floating around on Instagram, it does seem that way. The car simply doesn't turn.Quote:

Sorry but that must have been a lot more. A crash with 17G is something like a hit into a lamp post during parking. When you play a header in football you achieve a lot more. Unfortunately most of the people don't understand the crash mechanics and buy whatever numbers someone writes on the internet.Quote:

The true accelerometers used in crash tests can detect peaks shorter than a millisecond but without them you get a distorted picture where maximum numbers are far lower than in realitity (those carried in the rallycars are for sure no laboratory types). Also for the human body the duration of the acceleration is extremely important and so is the direction. For example nobody can survive 100G lasting several seconds but when you fall badly on the floor in the bathroom or when when a pedestrian hits a car windshield such values are normal, only the duration is super short. Generally in vehicle safety a crash peak of 100G is considered a survivable limit for human brain.
It's been a long time but if I remember right some very old measurement of Škoda Felicia crash test done in my university (according to the old spec. where the car was driven 50 km/h into a solid wall) the acceleration peak for the occupants was somewhere around 60G.
PS The duration of the acceleration is also a reason why acrobatic pilots can do short low-speed turns at 12G without anti-G suit but fighter pilots can't do long high speed 9G turns without it.
Nice 4k quality video action:

Same, it's not very exiting to watchQuote:

Scenery is nice, but Rally2's on these type of roads aren't that interesting to watch at least
Franceschi has been awesome so far this year. He can realistically win the title.
Amazing rally again in Gran Canaria !!!
and tarmac is not his prefered surface.Quote:
