I think that Kielder is right. There was some rule about the lenght of the leg and the bonus points.

You can change gearbox in service for long one if You have it. I think all priority drivers are allowed to have two boxes but both are sealed in scrutineering. After that You can't open it and change ratios and that's what was not done by team of Delecour and later they were not allowed to do so. That's my understanding.

207 S2000 gearbox most likely used by Breen is for 175 km/h. Fiesta RRC has sure higher top speed. It shall have same gear ratios as WRC car which means top speed around 200 km/h but of course it takes some time for RRC to get there.

True. Leg 1 was too short.

thats why i mention it Mirek.Ok Breen has a lower top speed,but Ketomaa has same top speed as grN -r4 evos.Also in evos take time to reach 200km/h due to restrictor.
Driver of this rally is Lukyanuk till now.

Well, I am kind of happy that we cannot see Lukyanuks onboards live.. these are too nerwewrecking :-P
Do you know guys when he started with serious rallies? You even cannot belive it:-) It is around two years of interantional competition.

But do not put him in WRC yet. He needs to get experience in cheaper cars first. His style is very good for the roads in Estonia, Latvia and Finland (Good and smooth roads, no big rocks etc.). But when there are not so good roads, then his experience is very small and his current style might be too rough. But it is getting better very quickly!

And wether for tomorro stages will be rather boring. Morning temperature around -5..-7. close to 0 during the midday. a few snoflakes close to the coast. Some clouds some sun. Nearly no wind. Perfect conditions for spectating.
