Yep, ideal for weather experts ;). Codrivers title probably went to Eremeev, Luky codriver until this event.

Lukyanuk didn’t seem delighted with his title but he did seem quite emotional. Perhaps something going on with him we don’t know about.
Didn’t quite seem himself all year tbh, maybe the toll of having to constantly worry about budget and drive with caution in mind when he’s naturally more of a ‘fighter’

The weather conditions were a real shame here, not so much that it rained but that it became such a lottery. Could have been an epic battle had it been dry and we’d have had more helicopter footage too. But under the circumstances we should be happy the rally happened at all.
Maybe if Luky carries on next year he should drive for wins instead of thinking about the championship title, he’d probably enjoy it more.
Lol you just messed things completely.
a) The results you mention are from SS16, I was talking about SS15 which he won by 6s, largest gap of any stage win in the rally.
b) The 3 drivers you mentioned were on 4 slicks whole afternoon...and still they didn't beat him on those two stages in full dry while he and everyone else in top 10 had 2 wet tires.
c) Mikkelsen's "almost zero" pace today resulted in him winning 2nd leg on speed. (without the 20s TC penalty)
d) Mikkelsen is not a WRC regular for 15 months now and this was his second rally in those 15 months. Check where WRC regular Breen ended.
Sure after 2 wrong tire choices yesterday the morning pace was uninspired. Afternoon was fine.
Congratulations to Lukyanuk, well deserved title. I'm glad he didn't throw it away like last year. Nice season for Oliver too.
And good job to Eurosport Events, ERC and every organizer for managing to run a good championship.
exactly the same i wrote applies for ss 15
second overall was Munster,third was Devine,Fourmaux was 13th for example.
So Mikkelsen good times were when nobody pushed for both stages.
Breen has the extenuation of unprooven tyres.We dont know how good were his mrf.
Mikkelsen was on pirellis as Ares and Luky and Solberg.
As you don't read lets write it again:
- SS15, win by 6s largest gap in rally, for sure nobody out og the 25 cars was pushing...
- won 2nd leg
- 3 stage wins, same as Luykanuk, more than Formaux, Bonato, Ares. Only Solans has 4.
You know, you could just admit that you made a mistake and didn't follow the afternoon but that seems to be too hard.
οκ Mikkelsen won same stages as Luky,more than Fourmaux and Ares.
Amazing pace when everybody cruised.
If its ok for you,i havent anything else to ad.
