Second special stage has been interrupted and finally neutralized after accident of car no. 3 Leszek Kuzaj / Jaroslaw Baran. The crew crashed 1.2 kilometers from the start of SS2.

On a fast section Kuzaj hit a tree and then rolled his car. The driver has been taken to a hospital for an examination.

Special stage 3 will be delayed by 20 minutes. Stewards decided to impose a time of 17.02.7 to all cars.

Great rally for now. Great to Svedlund in front, he really is fast, sawhim 2x in Ypres. Also Czopik great too!!! :D :D

Thank's zales by your reports!!

Leszek Kuzaj left Hospital.

Interesting !!! Travaglia lost 17s to Isik on SS5 !! :mark:


EDIT: no it was a mistake from the results site, Travi had again a best time 42s faster than Isik :p :

Bouffier puncture in SS5 !!! NOOOOOOO !!!!! :mad: :mad: :mad:

Unfortunately Holek had 1min. penalty :( due to a delay in the start of SS4

to the ERC standings Renato Travaglia is leading before Tomasz Czopik and Michal Solowow.

I think It will be a great battle between Svedlund and Holowczyc, and let's see how fast will Bouffier be. :D

Anyone knows what happened to Kajetanowicz?

In SS6 Isik has improved 30 seconds than first round and Renato Travaglia 22 seconds approximately

What happened to Czopik in SS6 ??? :confused:

Czopik game over. Off road!

Yes you are right Paulo, they have changed the information on the web!

Holowczyc fastest again on ss7, very good, Bouffier also fast.

Damn, it's a pitty for Copik. Svedlund is showing great pace, also Holowich, stupid 1 min penalty.

Does someone know why Bryan Bouffier got a 30s penalty ??? :confused:

But it was Czopik's mistake. He went off the road and when he was trying get back to road, he damaged gearbox...

Look at the results of leg 1 now !! Bouffier is 12th overall with a 30 penalty :mark:

Perhaps it has to do with his puncture in SS5 :confused:
They talk about an article 8.1.1 as cause of Bryans's penalty but I don't know this article :mark:


But I don't understand why Bouffier is 8th on the road on leg 2 starting order this morning...

Perhaps organizers of rally don't want a non-polish driver to win the event...?? :laugh:

Tom206WRC: about the staring order. I know in Ypres last year they started in the order of the FIA A, or FIA B pilot and then the rest. That was also on day 2. Maybe that explains the start order in Poland?
My father said that FIA nominated drivers have the right to start in front, also in day 2.

Why are they so late for SS9 ???? :rolleyes:

"Ambulance on stage..."

It will be a nice battle for first. Svedlund just took 1.8secs. :)

Polish organizers/stewards are scared about the possibility a foreign driver wins their prestigious event :p :

Just went through Forbes 500 Billionar list. Under the number 407 we find Michal Solowow, worth approximately 2,3 billion dollars. Phh......

And I was wondering how come he can do 20 races per year + an occasional WRC outing... :)

LOL janez, that explains a lot. :)

@Tom: your countryman Gigou went off, but crew = ok :)

Next stage finnaly got started! approx 30 mins late.

Tom: first best time for 207!! :D

J-J off... :(

Simon Jean Joseph is out of the rally.. he had an off in SS 11... Crew is ok

The battle for the first place is over :)

That while the battle in front is still high. Hope he can do in again in the next two stages...

Best time again for Bouffier in SS12 :p :

Only 15s separate him from 5th overall position and the big 36km long stage remains before end of rally :bounce:


GO BRYAN GO MATTHIEU !!! :up:

:D :D :D

It's a bit late, but finally the 207 is going well... :)

Renato Travaglia said in his website that Rally of Poland is very, very fast. Yesterday he drove above 200 Km/h in some stages....
