It's a win win situation for all sides. Nordgren and whoever else gets experience, some private teams get credit and Škoda can say that it gives privateers as good cars as it uses itself.

That second car in the truck for Chris is inside, because truck is going immediatelly after Acropolis to ferry to Cyprus. And Chris was supposed to do both - Acropolis and Cyprus. Decision about his start in Cyprus will be according to his health conditions (he is currently in Istanbul on medical inspection). Why I am writing it now? Because it was published on social media by team members :)

So we can return back to Acropolis Rally :)

Thanks. I have replied to your PM.

He was well after him on the road though...

Qualifying Stage winner Juuso Nordgren earned the honour of picking road order first thanks to his fastest time, selecting P12 in the order with a specific strategy in mind.

Lukyanuk has Seajets sponsorship for this event too.

Nordgren should be quick - when he wasn't with punctures in Portugal his times were close to Tidemand's. Will be interesting to see if Luky can maintain his 2018 composure with some more competition here in Greece.

The road looks dirtier for Lukyanuk than Nordgren on this video.

No. It is free to use any (homologated) brand in ERC. You can use one brand on the first loop and different brand in second loop.

But there is one help - if you look on corners of the cars, they have usually there sticker of their tyre brand...

Have to hope Luky can get through SS2 puncture free then or it's game over.

he said they had no spare... maybe he put the tyre back in the rim and inflated it.

He means that NOW, after that puncture, he has no more spare. According to rules, you must have in a car at least one spare all the time during the rally.

Would probably be wise to take two spares on this event, especially Michelin runners seeing what happened in Portugal (or are they different tyres in ERC?)

Tyres for ERC could be different, but I am not sure if they are. It is wise to take two spares on this event, but not for today, when there is only one proper stage. I think they didnt expected to take puncture on SSS...

the super special is empty of spectators... wow.

For a section of SSS and only one stage? Why?

All spectators are in the stands, noone close to the SSS.

This is how it looks like for spectators (picture from last year)
