'The Belarus driver was leading Rally Liepāja when he and co-driver Yevhen Chervonenko came into an innocent looking fifth-gear corner.
“It was a simple corner, which tightened over a crest,” said Lukyanuk. “We lost the rear of the car in the middle of the corner and went into a ditch onto the inside and rolled two times. There were no spectators there, it isn’t the place you would go to watch because it was a simple corner, so we couldn’t get the car out. It is a shame and I am really sorry for the fans and the team. The car is not badly damaged, so we would like to restart tomorrow to check the settings and the handling of the car.”
Breen ready for the darkness...

Back to this point. So far there has been no clear advantage for either brand today. The road position had definitely bigger impact on the results.Quote:

some pics from service
Rain reported on stage...
Turned to snow now acc to rally radio ...
Can somebody somehow reasonably explain why are R2 so fast? It's not in the road position when Sirmacis drives among the first and the rest much later and all are so quick. I don't think that drivers like Jeets are so slow...
Regarding Sirmacis I can say he is really crazy fast! Two weeks ago in Latvian national rally - Sarma, he finished very high, between 4wd cars. Week before he won local rally in evo9 with top gpN drivers. So he is really fast! Many other R2 drivers are also fast and their starting position is good. We will see tomorrow if Sirmacis will have advantage over them regarding tire management - today he should save some tires driving first loop not on gravel like other R2 drivers.Quote:

Hi, finally back to computer.. seems that snow arrived exactly at the right time, as expected yesterday :-)Quote:

So, when there are icy sections between the forrest, then light R2 cars should have huge advantage. And R2 cars in Baltic states are used to drive in ruts (starting last in rallies):-P On the second roud you can see that R2 cars are much slower, buts stil quite fast. So, road is cleaner but they are still having betters studs.
Kajetanowicz stopped in the stage ?
Looks like a cruise to the win tomorrow for Breen...
possible, seem to be in the same corner with the car number 11
Broken wheel for Kajto :(
Seems so. This rally could have been quite interesting but has turned out to be a disaster.Quote:

Two top guys going off today is a shame, but it happens when trying to win... better than car breakdowns deciding the result.Quote:

So that will be the second ERC rally in a row which has lost most interest after a few stages.
Sorry for Kajto and Lukyanuk - now Breen can cruise home ... :(
four driver in 25s on ERC3, it will be interesting tomorrow
now Sirmacis -26 from leader BergkvistQuote:

Photo from 1st day

Weather for Sunday:
Shortly, first on the road is not the place to be. Some wet snow overnight, but surface temperature is already -1..-4 degrees, everything will be little frozen tomorrow. The day should be between -2, and -3, strong wind (10 m/s) and moderate snowstorm (makes you feel like -15). Light snow is expected during whole night and more intense snow from 6 am. strongest snowfall will be from 6am-12pm. The amount of snow that comes down from the sky should be between 5-10 cm during the day, but due to the wind, it piles up and makes nasty surprises for the first drivers, especially on the open sections.
So, icy ruts covered by snow sounds pretty nice for spectators;-)
So, tomorrow you can see that this witer is cool ;-)
