Polish rally news

Your Polish is still improving Paulo, I'm impressed :)

Yes, that's exactly what the article says. Kuzaj will no longer be Subaru Poland driver and he will drive in a new team now. Replacing him in the Subaru seat until the end of the season will be Patrik Flodin from Sweden, who may be fast in PWRC, but is apparently not good enough on the Polish stages ;)
Unfortunately I don't know anything about the origin of Kuzaj's new car.

In the meantime, Kuchar said that he is very happy about his 207 S2000. He said this car reminds him something between the old kit car and a WRC car.

It's good, because he spent a few years at the wheel of a beautiful Volkswagen Golf Kit Car

and Toyota Corolla WRC

So, Kuzaj and Kuchar have made everything not to drive Impreza N14. Also Frycz, whose N14 burned down completely on the Rally of Poland, doesn't seem to regret it at all. The only Polish driver who wants to drive N14 now is Marcin Beltowski:

Crash of Butruk from prologue:

He was very lucky.

SS1 - Bouffier already has problems with suspension. It means extremely fast times after service.

Surprisingly the car is OK after this crash and Butruk has just finished the first "real" special stage in 10th position.

Bouffier is clearly out of the fight for the lead...
He stopped in SS2 and lost too many time...

Without Bouffier for sure it will be a great fight for the victory if Kuzi be able to keep the car on the road ;)

Definitely suspension i P207 S2000 is not durable enough... The same problem for Kuzaj on shakedown, for Sołowow on Mille Miglia and in some other rally (don't remember which one). Shock absorber was sheared off.

As far as I remember Solowow had shock absorber problem also on Ypres Rally. The same thing happened also to Toth and Tirabassi.

Bouffier is out of the rally.

It looks like Kuzi is starting to improve his pace in the 207..

6 sec faster that Kuchar in SS3.. let's wait for Grzyb to understand better the pace of Kuzaj
