I can't remember any other tarmac entry for Nikara other than Catalunya in his PSD year in 2009.

OK stage definitely stopped :mark: gutted for Breen who should get a big notional time... :(

Time of all drivers behind Mattei could change:

ŠKODA UK Motorsport ‏ @SKODAMotorsport Possibility of all drivers affected by Mattei's fire (Including Andreas) to be given a nominal time. Waiting on news from the organisers.

Also Arzeno's very poor time ??? :confused:

I didn't follow the TV live. Maybe the fire didn't start when the first cars reached him through the stage. It was my mistake to write "behind". It's sure that Andreas will be given another time because the yellow flag was shown on stage while he was running it.

That happened in the regional Rallye de Hannut 2009 in Belgium and it wasn't a round for the Dutch championship.

Nikara did the British Rally Championship in 2010. See here: eWRC-results.com - profile Jarkko Nikara I even have a postcard of him in the Jim Clark Rally 2010 with a Renault Twingo R2.

First notional times coming ;) Breen +16" :confused:

Breen now 7th overall .. 0.1sec behind 6th place Manzagol :)
