Kinda agree with that... they are very emotional images. You have to feel very sorry for the man :(
Luky will do Barum
You can send you questions to Alex Lukyanuk and he will answer them in his blog at Motorsport.com Russia.
Here is the first part of Q&A (google translate it): http://ru.motorsport.com/erc/news/gl...telyam-686883/
This thread would be more suitable in ERC forum, don´t you think?

Alex Lukyanuk have no money to continue his ERC program :( http://ru.motorsport.com/erc/news/lu...redstv-802447/
the fastest and the most SPECTACULAR driver out?what's the meaning now to watch the ERC?
life is tough sometimes...
Really cant believe there is no rich Russian motorsport fan that will sponsor him. Especially when he's competing for the Championship, not just some average driver.
Well, after the Estonia screw up his chances to win the Championship are rather small. He would need a lot of luck and money to try to stay in the game, but he was short of money even before, so I'd say it's game over for him this year.
Not really surprised. It was clear from the beginning that he lacks funds to do a full championship.

Hard landing on last pictures breaks steering arm. No major off afterwards either.

Luky thanks his sponsor www.ЭЛЕМЕНТЫ.ру for this opportunity, same car and team as last year, for now other plans for this year are not clear yet - seems like finances being the biggest problem....
For those that may not have heard, yesterday Lukyanuk was involved in a terrible rally test accident and is in hospital.

Sh*** :(
Wish him a good recovery.
i guess that concludes his career at international level i guess... pity, he was a joy to watch.
The ERC went from bad to total worthless competition of shit in 1 day....
How does two cars crash into each other during testing?
It just makes no sense.
Thoughts go out to the family of the co-driver of one of the cars who sadly died.
That's horrible news. I can't understand how that can happen. Someone has made a fatal error

Video whats left from cars - looks like it was big fire, no wonder why Lukyanuk lungs damaged.
Lukuanuk's co-driver also had 17% burnt skin, from the leg. That could have ended worse as well :/Quote:

I think a very similar fatal accident happened 2-3 years ago but i do not remember in which country
That's so retarded it is almost criminal :(Quote:

Hope he can recover. Such a shame...
If you look what is left from his car, you can consider him extremely lucky that he survived this.Quote:

ALEXEY LUKYANUK
Following the accident suffered last week, Alexey Lukyanuk was submitted on Monday, May 22, to have surgery to the pelvic area. The intervention was successful and the Russian driver is recovering well from it. Lukyanuk will soon undergo further surgery to the heel and knee as soon as bruising improves and swelling subsides.
Thank You for the update.
