Some problems for Longhi today? He was setting times like Běhálek or Šlehofer, that's not normal for me.

Longhi was using intermediate tires in heavy rain. He insisted with this tyres (with extra cuts) even on the second loop, no matter what the Target people (including Aleks Humar) suggested ...

I'm a little disappointed with Longhi's performance. With such form I don't think he can fight for victory in ERC Croatia Rally.

Rantanen is as fast with his own evo IX as this 207 S2000 (Laivola own's that car)

this sunday 22 of may its the second round of the greek rally championship which all europe has its eyes upon as usual.

here is the official entry list

http://www.omae-epa.gr/pressrelease/213 (click on the "Συμμετοχες" word which is not with bold letters below the bold word "Συνημμενα")

Leonidas kirkos and kaitatzis and maybe kamitsakis should be the favourite but local Kosmopulos should do a good run as well the battle of the 2 litters is going to be once more great with kosmo,xalivelakis,zachos vaggelis and zachos vasilis all capable of winning.

there are 6 stages on tarmac 3 stages which are repeated...2 very steep downhill stages (the stage karavoma starts at 1000m altitude and the finish is around 200m within 20kms) and one uphill

here are the onboards from he 2 downhill ones with a golf kit car

http://www.ethea-live.gr/ (the rally is not present yet but it will be...click on the word "κενταυρος" (means centaur, since according to greek mythology centaurs lived on the mountain where the rally is held hence its name Rally Kentavros)

I have never spectated this rally before and i am spectating for 14 years now.....i always wanted to go there but believe it or not there was always some crazy reason and never went (its only 250kms from where i live) but this year i will be there if it doesn't rain since motorbikes are not weatherproof yet....the weather is starting to get hotter and it looks like summer is upon us here so everything looks good for me.

will have pictures ects blah blah blah after the event

Jarek, if you look yust final results, you are right....but if Longhi really has choosen the uncorrect tires yesterday in heavy rain, the gap behind Pech is understandable.....
So, weather forecast for next five-six days looks good, no rain, so that Longhi will not have any chance to ''fail'' with tire choice.....
IMHO Longhi will be in the fight for a victory....I'm going to Rijeka on Thursday afternoon to see first stages and than we will know more details, who will be on a charge.....

2nd round of danish championship this coming week-end(Rally Horsens) :)

The 1st and 3rd SS are uphill (the new SS3 has a small downhill part at the end). SS2 is all downhill and one of my favourite ss to spectate in Greece.
Wheather predictions give around 28-29 degrees for the weekend so it looks like we are going for a nice rally! Since we are not doing the live radio in this rally I will be spectating too...so see you there :)
