It seems the R5 is bit quicker than S2000 cars. Evans had a decent time and Brynildsen with problems writes same time as Lappi.
Although more reliability problems for the Fiesta
Yes, quite decent time from Ketomaa with Dmack's. Lappi will have hard time with him. BTW Lappi has private spec Skoda in this rally, not a factory car he's normally driving.Quote:

whats the point to do something like that?
Lukyanuk faster 0,5sec/km from Salo.!
The local governments (such as Lahti) like it (and most likely pay for it). For the drivers it's not much to win, but a lot to lose, today. It's not the best concept for sure... But last year's thursday was not much better. Very long drive for only few stages... Now there is also a lot of road section. The "new rule" of FIA that events should have at least 20% of total kms being stage kms can maybe prevent these situations? Or at least prevent it from getting even worse...Quote:
