In Italy the S2000's are dominating too on tarmac, only Andreucci can sometimes use the same pace.Quote:

What happened to Bouffier ??? :(
Gearbox again ??? :mad:
In english they just wrote "Hazard lights on" about him :mark:
Regarding S2000 reliability... Engine broke down in Lubiak's Fiat already on the first stage! Now Boufier has some problems too, but I don't know any details.
Staniszewski is leading the rally in front of Gabrys after SS3.
No, this time it is broken drive shaft :(Quote:

He's back in the top 10, and if he goes on like this on SS7(the re-run of SS6)position 7 overall can be reached today... ;)
Tomorrow with 4 stages to go he could fight with Solowow for 4th... :)
Leg is over... ;)
New retirement for Leszek Kuzaj... :mark:
Bryan Bouffier has attacked even more on SS7 and was 30s+ faster than anyone else :eek:
Overall after the leg he climbed back to 6th and has a gap of 49s to rally leader Gabrys... ;)
His gap is about 13s to Solowow, 3rd overall(with four stages of 15 and 8km to go)...
Has anyone noticed 0 car?
Octavia WRC from Profiko.
That car is racing almost every weekend.
Impressive timing by Buffier...is he that good? is his car that much superior ? or the locals are that bad ??
He can win this tommorow if he keeps that pace.
Well after two stage wins today, he's 3rd overall but with gaps of 41 over leader Zbigniew Gabrys and 33s over Michal Bebenek... :mark:
Will he chose maximum attack again on the last two stages or rather the safety for his current position(and reducing gap with Kuchar by only two points) ??? :confused:
Gabrys won the rally in front of Bebenek and Bouffier.
Some interesting comments after the rally:
Michal Bebenek (Mitsubishi Lancer) - "I really like that Peugeot. I have to start saving money for it" :)
According to online results unofficial final standings in Lotos Baltic Cup:
1st: Gabrys
2nd: Bebenek +6.3 s
3rd: Bouffier +10.8
Without time penalty for Bouffier (+30 s) it's easy to say that at present he is unstoppable for polish drivers except the Bouffier mistakes or car damage. However, level of polish rallyes has risen up with Bryan presence on our stages ;)
btw. Can someone explain me why I can see only five topics in this room (European rallying) ? In general room number of topics is much bigger but forum show me only the last five ... (I use Opera)
There is a choice for how old topics You want to display ;) Default is "last day", so there are only few topics then.

Tomasz Kuchar during leg 1 - We are looking at Mr Bouffier, who simply destroyed the opposition. That is really impressive. As far as my own speed is concerned, the scientific explanation of it may be that the driver is an ass, but we are working on it. :D
Next round of Polish championship, Rzeszowski Rally, will be held this weekend.

Rally have started.. and Kuzi went off in SS1... :s
Definitely 2007 is a bad year for Kuzi...
Fantastic time for Grzyb in 1st SS!
He is the leader of the rally, 4.3 sec. ahead of Bouffier.
It's nice to see that Solowow and Lubiak improved their performances in comparison with previous rallys.
What happened with Kuzi, again crashed out?
Yes, on the live results at the top you have a scroll and it says Kuzaj crshed out, crew ok.
This guy is just unbelivable! :) :D ) :D
After 1km of ss1 Leszek visited the ditch what resulted in damaged wheel. End of the rally for him.
After 4 stages, Bouffier took the lead...
This rally is being very interesting in a competitive way, the first 11 drivers are separated by minor gaps.
I'm surprised with Solowow's pace! great :)
It looks it is good for us that he will be missing on Barum Rally. In his average length of his last events he should crash on city SS and cancel this stage :DQuote:

Is the car very damaged? :confused:Quote:

Leg one is over...
Bouffier is on the lead, he pushed a little bit more in the last stages, and took the lead.
Grzyb had a fantastic rally start and with his Swift S1600 is on 2nd place.
I think tomorrow it will be a nice battle between drivers that are place 3rd overall to 9th overall...
I suppose Kuzi will return under superrally rules (according to Subaru's Polska site) and.. maybe he could be the fastest driver in the stages.. unless he have a new off road :D
It is heavily damaged :( It looks that car wont be ready for Barum.Quote:

As I said before, Solowow improved a lot his pace in comparison with previous tarmac rallys.
It will be a nice battle for the podium.
It will be very hard for Grzyb keep the 2nd place.
It's raining...
I think it will be very difficult for Solowow try to catch Bebenek.. he don't have experience with S2000 in wet conditions...
I think that Ruta drives the car that was previously used by Krum Donchev. Take a look:

What a waste of the car!
Yes, Grzyb has already dropped down to 4th place. It is very difficult to drive a FWD car in such conditions. He said that sometimes the road is wet and sometimes dry and he never knows what the best tyre choice for the next stage is.Quote:

And where is Leszek?

You're right, he should be driving a Dacia. :)Quote:
