Seajets Acropolis Rally 2017

Rounds like Canaries or Acropolis show that ERC isn´t back great again - boring rally.

Others with the problems today.. Kajto takes the lead with his consistency and speed.

Boring rally? Three different leaders, all the time changing the order in top ten, fires... What more action do you want? Especially if you count that it is Acropolis, which is usually with rough roads mainly about reliability and finishing the rally...

On a road section too which is strange.

I'm guessing brake line was too close to something and was cut and the brake fluid caught on fire

I think they know where was the problem. Now it is under inspection...

Al-Attiaya is now out - no power steering.

Bruno Magalhães still facing the same technical problems. Losing 29'3" to Kajto.

Now Maghalaes lost even more time with no wipers after watersplash !

There is reasonable damage visible on the photo. The loss of power steering may be result of that hit.

Albert von T&T rolled in SS12, about 1km from the finish.. :(

For me it has been very boring event. I don't enjoy seeing everybody having technical problems. That's not why I follow rallies.

George Philippedes also went off the road in SS12.

But Kajto survives all the carnage and WINS !!
