Anybody else?
Eddie, whose tyre is it?
Looks like Kamaz :P
Main problem was fog yesterday. He completely lost confidence (and speed) there...Quote:

"It is very difficult, in a left corner we go off and hit a bank, we see the damage now." - Looks like a rear tyre off the rim and the wheel has been pushed backed and toeing out on the front edge.
You can add Fontes 1.50m penalty before ss11 due to clutch repair and Meireles 1m loss after a spin on SS11.Quote:

Fingers crossed for Moura and Gago.
Luky in trouble !!!!
No turbo :(
Lets see if its something he can fix.

Previous leader, @AlexeyLukyanuk fixed his mechanical issue �� « But I lost a lot of time », he said. #FIAERC

Saying its fixed but I think he's lost the victory.
Unless ...
Again... Mechanical trouble when he had victory in sights, same for Acropolis. Luky definately showed his on par with Kajto and sometimes quite faster even and with less experience on stages than Kajto..
...he wins colin mcrae's flat out trophy again :)Quote:

not possible.He has 42 secs for 42 kms.Only with Mouras problem is possibleQuote:

the only you can do at these stages, is to push and wait Mouras mistake.
edit Orsak and Tlustak with flat tyres

Luky took exactly 1 s/km... but I think Moura can go faster. Let's see.
Luky took 21,2 from Moura.
Now 21,5 left.
me too.Quote:

"He (Lukyanuk) will win maybe more than twenty second in here, we will see."
Moura won the first passage through Tronqueira. It's a special stage for Azoreans, so he will know the stage very well. Anyway, it will be a race to 'till the finish
In 21 km stage Lukyanuk took 21.2 sec away from Moura. Now 21.5 seconds behind with 21.7km stage to follow. Mathematically.. does it mean we will have two 1st places in the end? :D
Amazing rally and now still we dont know til the last stage...
Go Luky ! ;)
first one is done ;)Quote:

Unfortunately this is the end of the #AzoresRally for us... Just 800 meters after the start of the stage our driveshaft broke down.
watch where is Fontes when Moura is pushing,at first day stages.Quote:

Moura did take it slower on the last one... just a bit surprised by how much.Quote:
