Nice to hear from Camilli at the stage ends. Seems like a good guy. I'm not about to start bowing at his feet like some but I'm really happy to see him right in the mix. So many people seemingly wishing a fresh WRC talent to fall flat on his face. Not sure how that's good for the sport - no matter what nationality you are?

Or the fiesta of evans is a genuie factory-car, while all the others aren't.

Are Lappi and Suninen just on an extended reccy of the event? Okay not really any fight for them to be in as they aren't registered for WRC2. But still expected more of their times. And Lappi might be the only guy who could put Elfyn's performance into some kind of perspective. WRC2 field is thinner in quality here than I first realised.

Well it is Lappi with the Skoda and even with the road position he is already 2:30 minutes behind after SS 4

For sure. Their aim is to learn the stages for the future and to drive all of them. No Need to push and Crash for nothing.

Does anybody know what tires the competitors are on in WRC 2? And I don`t mean tyre brand but studded, super softs or studdless and whatever options there are, Evans is much faster so he could be on completely different tyres than the others? Or he is just much faster :)

Completely agree with You. Even if he shows great promise (I personally have a great belief in him from what I have seen so far) Its early days for Camilli, and two good stages doesn't do a career. But the WRC needs new faces, even if its another "Frog" ;)
I also think people are way too hard on Kubica. He tries his best, and he ads colour to the championship. Would much rather have him in rallying than circuit racing (but would even more have him adjusting his driving style a little, but thats another story).

I think that the point for Camilli is not his times today but the performance of last rallys of the year compared to the firsts ones
