Plangi´s Co-driver told in press conference that they might start in ERC Portugal as well. They are definitely starting in Rally Estonia with their Evo X. He also told that this car should be Ok to beat Craig in Rally Estonia ;-) Remember, last year he was driving 208 T16.

'The Belarus driver was leading Rally Liepāja when he and co-driver Yevhen Chervonenko came into an innocent looking fifth-gear corner.
“It was a simple corner, which tightened over a crest,” said Lukyanuk. “We lost the rear of the car in the middle of the corner and went into a ditch onto the inside and rolled two times. There were no spectators there, it isn’t the place you would go to watch because it was a simple corner, so we couldn’t get the car out. It is a shame and I am really sorry for the fans and the team. The car is not badly damaged, so we would like to restart tomorrow to check the settings and the handling of the car.”

The Belarus driver? :-) :-) :-) :-) you mean this: http://www.belarus.com/Graphics/9345...ide%28F%29.jpg

Very poor rally. Halls Winter from previous week was ways better.

Lukanyuk says he has a program of 9 ERC rounds this year. About his crash he says he is not fully used to the Fiesta yet, it has shorter steering than Mitsubishi's and Subaru's and at the same time the steering angle is smaller. He is certain he would not have gone off with his usual Evo.

From Estonian championship I can tell you that his weakest surface is snow. And no experience with tarmac.

I agree. Next in the calendar is Circuit of Ireland Rally, which is going to be another disaster, like last year.
