But Kajto was very lucky in Acropolis with his roll.. :p

Moura took the victory in style.

What an event! Even on the last stage many positions were swapped, Botka up to 4th, Meireles down to 6th, Moura winning, great fights in every category... One of the best rallies ERC had recently in my opinion. Well done to everybody!

If Lukyanuk is smart he should enter Ypres, with his form he could be very fast there too, maybe even podium and with Kajto not being there he could close the gap in standings with Kajto then.

so as you can see Luky cant take 1 sec/km from Moura,when he is pushing.For sure he is faster,but not so much.
Congrats to Moura.
Luky fast at every rally he has participate so far,fighting for wins,and with tight budget.

Lukyanuk at the end of SS16: « We had a slow puncture. But we tried to do our best and it wasn’t enough.. Maybe next time! »

Yes, I'm very happy that Botka finally finished a rally without technical problems in his Citroen DS3! 4th place on Azores is a great reward for him after all the problems he had at the beginning of the season.

With his progress on asphalt, I wouldn't say so. And only strong competition from locals, besides Bouffier not really a very fast international driver.

Diogo Gago won at juniors. Well deserved win,clearly faster.

Paradoxically this rally was also a good event for Kajto. Being 3rd overall after driving 3 stages with a front-wheel-driven car is not bad at all!

Another fine home win in the Juniors.

Brit Chris Ingram with a great 2nd place and a good points gain over his Opel team-mates. ;)

The list of victims still grows:

retired (36 - Gryazin Nikolay / Fedorov Yaroslav): technical problem in SS 15
retired (9 - Costenaro Giacomo / Bardini Justin): technical problem in SS 15
retired (19 - Peres Fernando / Silva José Pedro): technical problem in SS 15

Afaik during Acropolis he started a co-operation with some Czech people who work with our only DS3 and also with engineer Jaroslav Vančík. Pluto for sure knows more as he took part in that negotiations. It seems it helped.

2 Lukyanuk (77)

Motoring engineer and former very good rally driver. He works with Kresta Racing, Tlusťák and many other Czech teams.

4th winner in 4th rally. If it wouldn´t be about some few regulars and Junior ERC, ERC would slowly become like ERT.

In other words, without thing which makes it not like ERT, it would be like ERT?

Look on the bright side. We have two guys in a fight for the championship.. that's one more than WRC.

Lukyanuk was not local in Canarias, Sirmacis was not local in Acropolis, Breen was local in Ireland, but he is top level driver. Only here in Azores the win comes to local driver, who was always fast here and done lot of things to fight for win this year...

He is smart enough. But unfortunately he is out of money...

Botka was very happy in his interviews after Acropolis, saying that he has never experienced that his opponets team would come over and try to help with his car. So he might have been talking about this?
Also, he said before Azores that they put a new wiring loom, engine and turbo into the car and replaced every part that was close to its limit km. Looks like the combo of these helped.

I take my hat off to Lukyanuk. I did not see anyone driving so "crazy" since 2002 (Jani Paasonen) in Azores.

Fantastic Moura, fantastic Gago and fantastic Açores! Huge congrats to the winners and their codrivers, Costa and Magalhães and their teams ARC Sport and Inside Motor Sport.

Really hoping to see Moura back to national championship or doing a couple of ERC events more. And Peugeot Portugal MUST help Gago to stay at ERC Junior. He’s our best young driver and he really deserves to be on an international level.

Well done! Amazing rally!

Chuchala also drove very well. After changing a tire on stage 10 yesterday, loosing 3 min 47 sec on that stage to the stage winner he was in attack mode today and he was 6th today (Leg 2).

good news for him is that luky has no more money, Estonia he will be there but rest of season...

I think there is a good chance he would drive Barum as well. After all his team is based just few kilometers from Barum service area.
