So has anyone worked out a decent comparison between ERC and Italian times. How did Kalle compare for example?

Did those 4 seconds decide about the rally winner?Quote:

All I know is that Huttunen needs a win for championship title.Quote:

Like watching it live, only one day late..
Nice to see Kajto pushing more on this rally, a champions drive one might say.
How are Leg points in ERC? 7 points for fastest driver, 6 points for 2nd?
So, Huttunen has now 106 points and from Latvia he can score maximum 39 points = 145 points in total.
Ingram has 115 points. If Huttunen leads all the way and wins in Latvia and Ingram stays second all the time, he get 18+6+6 points = 145 points in total.
Both would have 2 victories, but Huttunen would have 2x 2nd places whereas Ingram would have only one. And there is a slight chance Ingram could be the faster driver too...
And let's not forget that neither of Opel drivers is currently the championship leader. It's Mares. In theory Zawada has a chance for the title too.
And this is rallying, so anything can happen.
You need to take dropped scores into account too. Best four count, so Huttunen's best score would be 139.Quote:

I was very curious about it, so I made a small comparison of stage times for both championships. In general top 3 drivers from Italian championship (Campedelli, Scandola and Crugnola) were slightly faster than ERC drivers. Only on SS4 and SS5 Lukyanuk was faster than all the Italians.Quote:

Comparison between stage winners in ERC and CIR:
SS1 Gryazin 1:47.9, Scandola 1:46.0
SS2 Lukyanuk 8:21.7, Crugnola 8:20.4
SS3 Bouffier 15:09.5, Crugnola 14:52.6
SS4 Lukyanuk 7:34.8, Campedelli 7:44.0
SS5 Lukyanuk 8:17.2, Scandola 8:24.0
SS6 Bouffier 15:14.7, stage canceled for Italian championship
SS7 Kajto 21:15.4, Campedelli 21:07.2
SS8 Kajto 5:12.9, Scandola 5:06.9
SS9 Kajto 6:45.1, Campedelli 6:37.2
SS10 Bouffier 20:26.7, Campedelli 20:13.1
SS11 Suarez 5:02.2, Andreucci 5'00.6
SS12 Bouffier 6:38.1, Campedelli 6'35.4
Looks like it's the same for Ingram.Quote:

Best just to wait and see.
crews were reporting rain,rain drops, sudden changes even at same stage,so I think its not safe to see differences.Quote:

Nice summary video from Lotos Rally Team. It's good to see Kajto happy again :)

Road conditions were quite different, as they were starting after ERC. Several times we were able to finish the dry stage, and locals were already driving in the rainQuote:

I have never heard any similar words from any person at Skoda...Quote:

A co budoucnost Škody v rallye? Neohrozí ji případný projekt R5 od Volkswagenu?
My máme v rallye obrovskou tradici a nemyslím si, že by ji ostatní značky koncernu měly nějakým způsobem ovlivnit. A byli bychom velmi rádi, když by se ve spolupráci s českým autoklubem podařilo vytvořit program pro přípravu mladých talentů.
I believed that if it was written, it was told. But this words are against all things which Skoda did in last years. Despite big effort of federation to find any agreement with Skoda...
My interpretation of it is that if Kopecky will no longer drive in the Czech Championship, maybe Skoda will send a different and younger Czech there instead.Quote:

Late from service before SS5. If I remember he had problems with gearbox or differential before.
Good decision! In the meantime Jari Huttunen tries to understand why he was slower and he can't :Quote:

It is easy. There were faster juniors than him... To say the truth, he was not so superb on Barum and also Rome.Quote:
