https://twitter.com/FIAERC/status/659656533710675969 Breen fastest at the shakedown
Good times from Gryazin and Bergkvist... gonna be interesting to see how they get on :)
Breen must win here (chocolate 208 permitting) ...
Big differences there. Surprised by time of Jakeš. I think that it's his very first rally abroad. I hope he keeps good pace.
Bouffier with damaged rear suspension from hitting a rock...
Already? I opted for stage 2 thinking I'll see most of the Peugeots, maybe not.....
Hirschi second, Jakeš third? Quite... surprising let's say.
EDIT: From the times of late runners it's clear the drying of the roads makes quite a difference there.
And Delecour 3rd... for sure I did not expect that! Shame about Bouffier, the damage looks bad

Wow! Delecour and his Porsche third on SS1! Bergkvist on the same level as Tlustak?
Time from Delecour is impressive :eek:
Bouffier retired unfortunately.....
Oh no! What have you done Bryan? :(Quote:

I don't mind some magic on the stages, do you? ;)Quote:

Isn't it a bit late for the roads to (quickly) dry out from an overnight rain?Quote:

"Everything okay, but a few places fog. It was a little bit crazy but no problem."
Breen
"I am on hard tyres, fine to start but once you get into the fog and the mist, I had absolutely no grip at all, the tyres are like new." /
OK so there's fog and mist on SS2 ;)
I wonder what Delecour will do here :confused:
Do you expect some magic? ;)Quote:

W190 is the last Mercedes which can survive everything - even a Clio on top of it :D
Edit; nvm
Great battle in Junior Trophy(2"2 between Daldini, Althaus and Toedtli) :D
Better luck than Bruno Magalhães at 2014 edition :)Quote:
