Sirmacis should use a proper crowd funding website. Asking people to wire money into a foreign bank account looks a bit dodgy no matter how much one likes or trusts them, plus using a site where one can pay by credit / debit card is much easier.

Crowd funding sites take a nice profit for themselves ;)
But if it helps them raise more it is worth it!Quote:

Here's another Toyota that will be driven by Italian driver Claudio Conforto Galli (#68 on the entry list):Quote:

Generally Lukyanuk was very brutal in free practice but a lot cleaner in QS. Another very brutal drivers were Kajetanowicz, Habaj, Tarabus or Černý. Kostka was the exact opposite with very clean and smooth style. Kopecký something between.
It was also interesting that in FP nobody touched a bump in the ideal line (from another small road connecting under a big angle to the stage) but in the QS maybe half of the drivers went over and received some nasty kick (mainly Habaj).
There was probably something wrong with Bouffier's car. The sound was unhealthy.
And than the Toyota R3... Rossetti was pushing a lot but You can see the bad time. It didn't look that slow at all but I was in a very fast place where I can't judge for example the acceleration.
The delay of QS was caused by oil from some Russian Clio R3.

Cracked exhaust manifold in car of Bouffier, other one is on it's way to Zlin now.
Lukyanuk fastest on QS: « We were cautious because our tyres were cold, we had to wait a long time. Free practice was better.. »

Good time by Sirmacis on his first asphalt rally in R5.
Not sure whether he'll last the rally with his flamboyant driving style but promising!
Just got a message from a friend that Kopecký had a very scary moment on the oil from the Clio. He was driving just after and went into the ditch in the long right-hand corner at the entrance into Pohořelice. Fortunately he hit nothing despite it was in quite a speed. That was probably the main reason of the following delay.
I really hope he has a good rally after using his (Cyprus) budget to compete here.Quote:
