Stage stopped again. Odložilík's car is reported to be burning after a previous off.
4th rally in a row with at least one crash, sometimes more. Now with 2 crashes right after I mentioned it.Quote:

He showed great speed cuz he drive like idiot. And than crash like idiot. I guess it will be more drama if he must start WRC Germany with this car. It's an idiot^5. But nothing new, he's russian. Remember Julian question to Lukiyanuk yesterday? Maybe time to think about championship points? - And than he crashed on next stages. Typical.Quote:

The Ingram's missing fender was from hitting a hay bale in a chicane.
Depends on how long the money will be available. Remember Novikov. His career ended in rather young age due to him crashing all the time..Quote:

R2 completely crazy at my place. Far more enjoyable than R5 here.
Meanwhile Jakeš crashed too.
i just cant beliebe this Gryazin guy, he needs to calm down
Ingram spun on SS12. It's back to one second with Mareš.
When I saw his footage from shakedown and SS2 I was a bit worried it would end like this.Quote:

His most immediate concern is what car will he drive in Germany. This one looked like rollcage damage.
Gryazin yesterday https://youtu.be/YOqKzhtu89Y
they have enough cars, in Barum 2 bodyshells wrecked, but few more waiting.Quote:

I'm quite angry because of previous stage where I slowed down at Nikolay. Stewards decided not to sort that. So keep going and try to get back these seconds back on the road.
The battle in ERC3 is amazing! There are just 20 seconds between the top 5 drivers after 11 stages. It's a shame nobody is looking at this:Quote:

We, estonians are looking :)
It saddens me when people just come on the ERC forum when they see a crashed car to slag off the driver (in this case Gryazin), or Lukyanuk or another. Where are they when they are driving well and winning stages, beating the local guys or even the current champion ?
And do they not enjoy their flat-out style ? Many young stars had these crashes ('Colin McCrash', and even the new hero Tanak).
Do they prefer one of the dozen guys just driving around safely and finishing 3 minutes behind ?
Especially Franceschi is extremely spectacular. All top three Fiestas R2 are driving with rather loose rear axle even in high speed corners. Could be a feature of the car.
Gryazin shunt https://www.ewrc-results.com/video/2...0aWvuEL4tN27Z8
Or Kris Meeke.Quote:

One exceptional year was 2018 when he crash less than usual.
Puncture for Torn
:(
Franceschi leading in R2 for his first outing. Impressive!Quote:

There is a big difference between an off when the driver just barely crossed the fine margin and when a driver has completely wrong speed in the corner... repeatedly.
I see ERC as an arena to show yourself for WRC potential (and a place for "local" drivers to compare with others). Gryazin has seen much hype lately over other drivers that actually make it to the finish (here that would be Ingram and Mares).
maybe, but it does not help that this year he drives a, so far, completely useless rallycar, that is miss by Citroen.Quote:

Tell me please,
How are points awarded in Junior ERC?
25 for win + 7 for win per day in ERC Junior class?
or competitor recivies 7 a points in absolute ERC class?
Štajf off on the last stage of the rally.
Stage halted.
0.3s no way.
Amazing how close the battle between Ingram-Mares, congrats to both of them for a great event
Now waiting for the R2, Llarena has it difficult but I hope he can do it
Ingram leads the Championship unofficially !!
With those high speed-off he is on potential way to hurt himselve or his co-driver.....Quote:
