Lukyanuk may be able to wait and see what the others can score in the next round(s) and decide if he even needs to enter another rally.

And Solberg may be happy just to confirm a win in ERC1...

Not just Citroen but the ERC itself.

It would be a tragedy if he couldnt continue and fight to regain the title.

Wow I literally go away for 5 mins and Luky has a spin. He never does it the easy way !

So glad he held on for a well-deserved win. Hope he can get the sponsors to continue.

Great day one video in HD & pure sound. Excellent quality and real variety of cars incl many classics.

@FIAERC - Ivan Ares flying through SS15. 4.8 quicker than Bonato and 14.1 faster than Lukyanuk ! The Russian's lead is now down to 20.3 seconds, with 3 stages to go !

Probably there was oil in a few places and the oil he pictured was elsewhere.

@MRF_Racing
A little bit of oil on the road,...

Luky just managing the gap today to take the win.

Solberg & Breen using it as a test day.

Late drama - Breen lost a wheel and Solberg with engine trouble.

Ares up to 2nd.

Solberg dropping places after going with rain tyres.

Tyre choice is a Monte-style lottery !

SS4 Breen fastest - first ever ERC stage win for MRF.

Lukyanuk given 10s penalty for a jump start on SS2.

EDIT
But that decision was then reversed when the crews arrived back in service, as three other drivers – Iván Ares, Surhayen Pernía and...

Maybe picked good tyres.

Non-ERC registered Yohann Bonato climbs up to 3rd o/a after a mistake by Emil Lindholm on SS2.

And Lindholm has now crashed out on SS3.

Road condtions for the later cars isnt good...

Outlook is dry for today on my weather app.

Most top guys gone on wet tyres for the first loop.

It was an MRF 1-2 on Shakedown:

1 Lindholm (Škoda) 1m57.250s
2 Breen (Hyundai) +0.277s
3 Lukyanuk (Citroën) +1.965s
4 Marczyk (Škoda) +2.446s
5 Ares (Hyundai) +3.207s
6 Dinkel (Škoda) +3.529s...

Solberg's roll-cage has been given the OK by the FIA.

@OliverSolberg01

Not the start to Rally Fafe Montelongo that we wanted...

Me and Aaron are okay, but I didn't want to give my team this much work overnight! I know they'll be flat out to try...

FIAERC:
With the compact event format requirement from 2020 not allowing enough time for the traditional Qualifying Stage, the 3.30-kilometre shakedown run will provide the early form guide ahead of...

I wonder how the MRF asphalt tyres for wet conditions will compare ?

I'm not sure of the Alpine's performance. But it's unlikely to be a match for the Rally2's here as the forecast is to be partially wet, and with the cuts, quite dirty.

@AlexeyLukyanuk

The rally Fafe is new for all fast guys - no one has driven here before. We have only 60 competitive km’s . A bit of a strange novelty from the ERC, a kind of «ground-hog day» with...
