Lukys penalty was because the wheelbase of his c3 was not compliant
nice pass from Larena

Basso missed a junction and lost 24 sec.
Luky without penalty would be 6 sec from Basso.
Basso lost over 20 seconds with a mistake but still safely leading.
Lukyanuk

EDIT: Well it's a black car and it's hot, maybe it got a bit longer by itself :D

“We have a one-minute penalty. It’s a team responsibility but the engineers are not agreeing. It’s a pity, it’s not a mistake by the driver who has made an excellent rally,” explained Vincent Ducher, Rally Manager at Saintéloc Racing.
“Lucas and the team did a good job to prepare the car and make the Michelin tyres work. This issue is my responsibility, that’s it.
“It was not the meaning to finish third or fourth if that’s what happens. Legally we can appeal but we are still waiting the process of how the measurement has been made.”
Lukyanuk not happy at all. And now has a lead of just 1 second to Crugnola ! :disturb:
Any stream from the city stage?
EDIT: Here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RwbMONpkC4M
Pluto in the live stream informed that the first stage times are nonsense.
Rubbish coverage of the stage and no times... :(
PLuto got a mention though !
What a mess.
Luky agrees ! ;)
Lukyanuk:Quote:
Actually I'm happy that this fucking circus is over. Let's go home!
So the rally ended but nobody knows who finished on which place. This is a major fuck-up from the organizers.
STILL waiting for Lukyanuk, Campedelli and Ingram's times. Crazy. :(
Big mess for the end of the rally, the organizers must be proud....
From FIAERC.com
Giandomenico Basso has scored his 19th FIA European Rally Championship victory on Rally di Roma Capitale, resisting late pressure from Simone Campedelli.
Basso (Loran SRL) is now eighth on the all-time ERC win list, tied with rallying icon Walter Röhrl and four-time French national champion Bernard Béguin, who was runner-up in the 1980 ERC season.
A two-time ERC champion himself, Basso used his near two-decades of experience to hold off the challenge of Campedelli (Orange 1 M-Sport Rally Team), who scored a debut podium finish for the new M-Sport Ford Fiesta R5.
“I’m really happy, it was a really hard race. Thank you to Loran SRL and to my co-driver Lorenzo Granai,” said Basso.
Filip Mareš (ACCR Czech Rally Team) scored his second consecutive ERC1 Junior championship victory to keep his title hopes alive, beating championship leader Chris Ingram to the top spot, also finishing fifth overall.
Dariusz Poloński (Rallytechnology) scored his first ERC2 production class victory in his Abarth 124 Rally, also picking up his first Abarth Rally Cup win of the year after three consecutive podiums.
Ken Torn (Estonian Autosport Junior Team) continued his stunning form in ERC3 and ERC3 Junior, taking his third consecutive victory by beating Czech federation-backed driver Erik Cais.
Finally...
Lukyank dropped to 4th by 0.1s !
Ken Torn lost 30 secs on city stage but still won?
i dont get it, his competitors lost the same...i suspect the times are wrong by 30 seconds?
Ingram's time FINALLY just came in !
Yes, Crugnola should get the Colin McRae Trophy that they used to award in ERC a few years ago. Just look at his stage results:

Lukyanuk is the new leader in ERC. He has 7-point advantage over Habaj after this rally.
Same but different penalties?

The problem is there is only Habaj competing with Lukyanuk. Habaj is really good driver and this year even more, but he is not in same league with Lukyanuk. So Lukyanuk is fighting with Lukyanuk´s head and Lukyanuk´s car (team ) rather than with Habaj. ERC needs more 1st class drivers.
In ERC1 Junior Ingram has 125 points from 4 events and Mareš 95 from 3 events. Only 4 events count. Anyway pity for Mareš to miss the first two events.
I'm also very happy for Erik Cais. He's the youngest of the ERC3 Junior drivers I think and it was his first time in Italy and he finished second in both ERC3 Junior and ERC3.
Yes Torn won, nice!
Congrats to Basso! The victory stayed in Italy. And new Fiesta driven by Cempedelli is going to be on the victory course already on the next event!
I've listened the Luky's interview, I understand that he is pissed off about the penalty, but the rules must be obeyd. The homologation is very clear. How the hell the whealbase was not in the tolerance? In this case I would wonder if this happend before (for his good)? And of course to eliminte this error for the future......
Hy guys, It's been really a long time since I visited the forum :)
Nice to see that that Jarek Z and some others still around!
Does anyone really know what happen to Lukyanuk? I just hear is interview on rallylink and he is really pissed of with the penalty (or the way they handled the situation)
PS: bellow the English version there is an Italian translation... and everything Lukyanuk said in English was lost in translation. The translation it's not what he said...
Which is actually pretty funny explanation - nevertheless I came to the same conclusion :D
