Plangi´s Co-driver told in press conference that they might start in ERC Portugal as well. They are definitely starting in Rally Estonia with their Evo X. He also told that this car should be Ok to beat Craig in Rally Estonia ;-) Remember, last year he was driving 208 T16.

“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.”

The Belarus driver? :-) :-) :-) :-) you mean this: http://www.belarus.com/Graphics/9345...ide%28F%29.jpg

Very poor rally. Halls Winter from previous week was ways better.

Lukanyuk says he has a program of 9 ERC rounds this year. About his crash he says he is not fully used to the Fiesta yet, it has shorter steering than Mitsubishi's and Subaru's and at the same time the steering angle is smaller. He is certain he would not have gone off with his usual Evo.

From Estonian championship I can tell you that his weakest surface is snow. And no experience with tarmac.

I agree. Next in the calendar is Circuit of Ireland Rally, which is going to be another disaster, like last year.

Is Zawada linked with Opel Motorsport, as this name appear on his car ?
And why is Berglund marked as "Opel Sweden" and not Opel Motorsport ? Isn't it Opel Motorsport which is running him ?

That tyre chicane on a snow/gravel event is weird...

Kajto seemed to confirm that he will be in Ireland after some banter with Craig Breen.

Maybe if he does well there his sponsors might enable him to do more events...

Ha ha - quote was from ERC.com ... :rolleyes:

Lukyanuk does drive with a Belarus driving licence though, he and his-co-driver having adopted the nationality as part of their 'We Want Peace' campaign.

I am just looking pictures and I wonder when was the last time when we had so many cars with Pirelli tyres, especially 4wd cars. Plangi, Lukjanuk, Svilis, Butvilas, Consani, Katjo, Koltun, Tlustak, Vorobjovs, Costenardo, Tushkanova, Kabacinski, etc.? Basically only new Peugeots and Opel were using Michelin (some Peugeots were also with Pirelli, like Volver, Ogryzek).

I think one of the reasons is that Pirelli got very good sales work and tactics in the Baltic area. Also price / tyre are lower and that interests many privateers. And of course Pirelli IS competitive tyre in the ice/snow events.

I would like to note, that all juniors (so including Opels) must use Michelin tyres.

For me it is easy - Pirelli sell you without problems, what you want. They are same competitive as Michelin, but price is 1/3 lower...

That mustn't be in this video, because there's nothing insulting.
CD : "I told you we were too fast"
D : "So now it [the car] is dead ... isn't it ?"
CD : "I think"

So must be in private
