I like Nobre's commenatary - "This is rally. If you are not ready for such situations, it's better to play chess" :D

Congratulations to Lukyanuk and Arnautov on their first win this year!
But for me star of the rally was Filip Mares from the Czech Republic. It is only his second season with an R5 car and he is already 4th overall in this fast and difficult rally. And he comes from the country where gravel rallies don't even exist! Is it not a sign of talent?
You can transcript Russian in different way into other languages. Czech and Polish are Slavic languages too but don't use cyrilic leters. Hence the official transcript into said languages is very different than into English. In Czech it's Lukjaňuk.
The transcripts come from the need for those words to sound similar. For example Kopecký in English would be written as Kopetskee if I wanted You to pronunce his name close to the native speaker.
Yes, I made a mistake, sorry about it, but I actually didn't change the sound of Lukyanuk's last name. The problem is that the penultimate letter in his last name doesn't exist in the English alphabet. It only exists in Russian and it sounds more or less like "you". Have a look at the Russian version:

Nooo, it really was only a joke. The quality of the English you guys use is fantastic.
