Looks like Neiksans are fastest. Are they brothers? Is it a gravel rally?

And Mitsubishi EVO IX seems to be the car of choice in Latvia

1. Yes, they are brothers - Maris (24) and Andis (22). In motorsports many years - karting, autocross, rally...

2. No it's winter rally, but almost no snow and ice. Something like in last week Sweden WRC, but there is little bit colder (~ - 7 -10 degrees)

Ramūnas Čapkauskas smashed his right side of front somewhere but still going.Also he has problems with turbo system.But 8th time in few stages are also a little bit poor for him,I think.And Dominykas Butvilas also slow.It looks like Lithuanians are saving cars for first Lithuania rally round.Lukoil winter rally that will be held(if air conditions will be good) after week.

Čapkauskas made some good times second day and he climbed up to 9th position.Butvilas climbed up to 15th place.Quite bad results for Lithuainians I think.But like I said propably they were saving cars.
