i d like to see this tyre at hotter rallies.Low temperature rallies always are ''forgiving'' to not so good rally tyres.
For sure there is a progress from previous versions.A bad tyre even at low temps cant win stages repeatedly even with a better driver(Evans).

Congrats to Breen, Martin and DGM. It’s great to see that a well prepared DS3 (or 208) is a reliable and competitive car.

Kajto close second place, DMack’s evolution on tarmac and the speed of Tarabus and McCormack were also impressive.

This amazing rally showed ERC need to have events with strong and competitive national fields. It’s a shame Eurosport can’t get a French or/and an Italian rally into the calendar.

@Rally Power - the co driver for Craig Breen is Scott Martin - not Martin Scott (who as far as I know is a bus conductor in Aberdeen!)
Alas adding congrats to Craig and Scott

I haven't yet finished watching but what a stage it is! Wow!

Fantastic driver's stage. Not so good for spectators, very little access and few juctions unless locked in for 7 or 8 hours but can't have it all. Great video.

Until 2014 he was only driving some amateur local events. And look at his stage times now, faster than works drivers!

And wins ERC-J, great result.

Lots of onboard action in 4 hours (starts on 26th minute)...

Yeah bit of a shame, but given a choice between a rally having a stage like that or some mild but easily accessed speccy stage then I'll take the proper stage every time.
