It would be interesting to have a battle on dry roads (and with no Championship at stake) and then see who was faster.

His Czech fans were quite passionate !

Quite amazing how the cars cope so well with those bumps on tarmac suspension.

A road car couldn't handle them at half the speed.

I'm not surprised considering the state of some of the roads on this 'tarmac' rally. Feel sorry for all those poor R2 drivers with just 2WD coping with slimy wet mud and gravel.

This wont affect his U28 position/points though will it ?

Points summary:

Lukyanuk’s second place and leg bonuses compared to Magalhães small points haul has widened the gap between them to 35 points, with Lukyanuk now on 148 compared to Magalhães on...

Gryazin says he's going to drive in Poland. Great battle on for U28's..

Kreim beats Ingram by 9s... that small off on day one cost Ingram in the end.

Mareš crashed on last stage. :(

Lukyanuk wasnt bluffing, he's sensibly backed-off and going for the Championship points.

In bad conditions and against multiple-winner Kopecky it was not worth the risk.

Kreim and Ingram both going hard for the U28 win.

Ingram gained time on Kreim on that last stage... just 13s between them now.

Lukyanuk HAS to think of the Championship... there's no point in risking a fight for the win now.

Weird how Ingram and Yates both went off in exactly the same place but no-one else.

Also Herczig's looked a nasty crash but only seen it from onboard.

"Junior Under 28 leader Nikolay Gryazin had started the day fighting Lukyanuk and Kopecký but, seeing how treacherous conditions had been earlier, elected to back off and secure his class...

Gryazin dropped time on the last stage. Looks like Luky v Kopecky for the win.

I saw Kreim had a puncture on SS8... still he beat Ingram, Sordo & Magalhaes' times !

It must've happened very slowly or very late in the stage.
...

Ingram slow on SS7... any info ?

Wow, Kreim sets the SS6 fastest time !

It's only thanks to Seajets he's here at all.

He may do better here now:

(2 - Magalhães Bruno / Magalhães Hugo): We have good feeling now, we changed the car setup completely. It was very nice.

Kopecky puncture, lost 14s.

Sordo & Mares also cracked wheel rims...

Slow time by Kreim and better one from Ingram who has gone ahead of him overall and also Mares in U28 ! ;)
