My opinion based on results, pace, comments and behavior of Rovanpera jr. and I post it.
Oh really? who has better pace among WRC2 drivers? results in WRC2 Pro means nothing, about comments and behavior I can't say much...The fact that he was fastest among R5 cars 4 rallies in a row (Chile - Finland, and 3 of them was new for him) prove that he has speed and consistency. It's basically impossible, that 18yo kid had that pace and not make any mistakes. Also he beats Kopecky in Bohemia, that not easy thing to do, I think.Quote:

The guy has it all right in his head and a crash here and there changes nothing on it. That is just a natural part of the development.Quote:

Veiby 50p, done 5 +Wales, lowest score R=0p
Bulacia 48p ,done 3 +Wales, lowest score 12p
so all other than Gryazin are doing Wales in WRC2 and some can count all other rallies also.

I thought Gryazin would do Wales too. At least he wrote about it after his recent testing of the Evo car.Quote:

If he enjoy it and really push for rally wins with his experience - he would win every rally. But it doesn't happen so far. To post fast times on two stages and crash on third - not require massive talent.
I really looking forward to Wales to see real battle with both Solbergs jr. with so many others good drivers and I think Kalle will crash due overspeed his margins trying to catch others, or do slow speed if he has some cleaver approach. More truth on first I think.
Kid clearly got a talent and rally knowledge, but his not an idol that you did it.
That should be a quote worth on Tidemand topic... :) :)Quote:

He is outside of WRC2 on the entry list. Look at no. 91:Quote:

Looking at the current standings it is actually the 18-year-old Marco Bulacia from Bolivia who is in the best situation. He has 48 points (6th place), but can still score points in 3 rallies:

Nikolay is trying a Polo this weekend in Nova Gorcia.
I'm not sure he'll want to go back to a Fabia afterwards....
You consider Fabia Evo a worse car?
Nova Gorica. In Slovenia. I can see just one result. He will beat everyone because competition isn't very high here.Quote:

Yes, with such competition he should win it quite easily:Quote:

However, it's not a bad entry list for this part of Europe, just not good enough for Gryazin.
P.S. The stages in Nova Gorica look nice! How do you like this one?

Gryazin and Fedorov test their Volkswagen Polo R5 in Slovenia:

P.S. Interesting new sponsor ;)
Gryazin is fast, but need to reach to finish to win.
So no new mk8 Fiestas in Wales. Only 7's or is that a mistake?Quote:

Wrong! Since beggining they are Ford Fiesta R5 MK2 in eWRC-results.com
Yes, some people keep repeating again and again (here as well) that cheap but slower car can succeed on the market while the reality is again and again completely opposite. Teams buy the best machinery like crazy even if that is expensive.Quote:

(don´t know anything about the current prices...)
Basically yes, buying non competitive albeit cheap equipment equals throwing the money out of the window (except for special cases such as a wealthy gentleman driver who seeks to have fun with no ambitions).
Not directly WRC2 related, but Gaurav Gill was involved in an accident in a rally in India, where a family of three was killed. Apparently they were riding a motorbike on the stage when Gill ran over them. Gill also got injured in the crash.
