... and Lappi won in a big style! Anyway also biiig congratulations to Gryazhin. I didn't expect him to be so fast.

EDIT: Now also Raul Jeets with water temperature problems. All Fiesta R5 except works one of Kajetanowicz with same problem...

Congratulations to Lappi for perfect job to start the season, Gryazin for an amazing and unexpected second and Breen for a podium on his last event with the 207. From his recent comments I think Breen can't wait to get his hands on the 208 R5, it will be interesting to see if it is fast enough and reliable enough to take on the Fabia S2000.

Also thumbs up for an impressive drive for Jan Cerny.

Not much yet I don't think. This was probably THE rally of the season you would expect Lappi to win, and the only good level driver with an R5 was Kajetanowicz.

who was learning to drive with such tyres and conditions.
Congratulations to Lappi, win with style indeed, Gryazin is the hero of the Rally though, with mechanical problems still seconds - a dream result. I think I can distinguish also Wiegand - when he was not cleaning the road, he was fast, may be this year we'll see some progress from him :confused:

He jumped out of road!

I guess that is serious flaw in the design of Fiesta R5, for drivers who like to "stick their nose" in the snow banks, I don't think Kajetanovich did that, he was just driving safely this Rally.

Actually if he went like this up to the service, it's an infringement of the FIA RRR (Art. 20.1.5). But if nobody complains... :)

No, it's second, they didn't change it finally on Saturday evening's service.

The performance difference between 208 and C2 Max is not so big as it is ussualy heard and especially not on surface like this in Latvia.
