Should get the times for Kalle in the LRC here: http://autorally.lv/?r=135&m=42
NB. No less than 45 cars will be through before he hits the stages. Take this into consideration when comparing, roads could be pretty rough...
Definetly there will be ruts, as roads are quite soft here. Softer than estonia. 2nd pass will be even more difficult.
Ss1 underway. After first 15 cars will move to ss3 finish

Just as I thought.
When exactly can Kalle start to enter international events? When he's 18? If so, it would be ridiculous we cant see him for real for 3 more years.
Rovanpera fastest in ss1
Will see on second loop, as now road possibly more clean for Kalle than top ERC cars. But anyway pace impressive, like always.
SS3 and Sirmacis 'ran a few km on the limiter'.. very fast rally.
Rovanpera lost 2 minutes on second stage? what happened?
Just 3 stages and already so many technical problems with the cars?
Kajetanowicz Kajetan / Baran Jarosław: We have a problem with power and water temperature.
Vorobjovs Jānis / Mālnieks Andris: We couldn't fix the car, it's quite scary. I hope we can fix it in the service.
Kołtun Jarosław / Pleskot Ireneusz out: technical problem - brakes before SS 3
Kasperczyk Tomasz / Syty Damian: We have problems with the car. The time is not good, now we go to service and hopefully guys can repair the car.
Scattolon Giacomo / Zanini Paolo: I hope we can repair the car in the service.
High speeds must be tough on some engines and hard on brakes...
Great start by Junior Chris Ingram, leading team-mate Griebel by 8.8s. Also Griebel is down in 4th so far and needs to win to deny Ingram the Junior title.
Impressive start by Sirmacis after 3 stages...

BTW, anyone using the ERC App ? The Live Timings now look identical to Rally-Base ?
Gryazin rolled his car in his home rally already on SS3!
Kajto is something with the engine, possibly because he blocked radiator/intercooler air intake with some debris.Quote:

Koltun and Kasperczyk same team...
Scattolon gearbox
Rovanpera on SS2 hit some pole and damaged power steering
This explains it... see 'Rally-Base' at the bottom of the screen.Quote:

Well, that's not quite surprising, I think he haven't had a rally this year without at least one big moment...Quote:

We are trying, but it's amazing, we have another problem. Now with powersteering, we had to stop in the stage and reset the car.
Sirmacis really bossing this rally at the moment, impressed.
Any more times from Rovanpera?
Does anyone know if there is overall timing ERC + LRC anywhere?
Sirmacis is in the LRC so can be compared to Rovanpera.. but he lost time after SS2 with a steering fault.Quote:

Luky mistake

Meanwhile, Griebel is only 0.4s from Ingram
He is entered to LRC but he runs under ERC rules. ERC drivers have less and different tyres for example.Quote:

What are you guys talking about, Kalle is on the same tires as anyone else. Also im pretty sure they havent allowed any more tires to national guys than ERC guys.
Teemu / Rallirinki @HartusvuoriWRC
After service @KalleRovanpera again fastest driver on SS4. He's on Pirelli's, no cuts. True measurement of his speed. @FIAERC
About the rules which are different. If Kalle uses some advantage or not is not possible to say from my home but the point was that he can.Quote:

Congratulation of course!, also if don't know how much he can feel satisfied for real. with 2 mains opponents that had to fight for find budget for continue the championship and had always to fight with many problems. To me of this european champ, i will remember the wonderful on-boards and performance of Luky and the surprise to find a young fast guy as Sirmacis. of course Kajto made good job,and he completed the target that their give to him for this merit all the respect, and also considering the mistakes of the opponents he deserve for the win.Quote:

If he uses advantage, which I strongly believe he isnīt, would rule out the edge of his current abilities in all talks on forums like this.Quote:
