SS4 was covered in huge puddles and streams, and it was almost impossible to drive.

We survived !!! We made it to the finish of one of the hardest rallies in our career, and we lost only to the 9-time World champion who was driving a WRC car. This was our beautiful end of the season.

Really impressive on SS3 - as Nikolay has never driven that stage before.

The boy has always been crazy fast - that's never been in doubt.

He was starting in Var last year...

I was on Rallye du Var 8 years ago and counted is as one of the worst rallies in terms of organisation of my life. I was persuaded to go there this year again and... ...almost nothing has improved during last 8 years. And with the terrible weather, usual lack of information and disaster of leading the rally... ...I have a new winner in my table of the worst rally ever. And I hope I will not return soon in next years...

So you can say the last two events you attended are close contenders for the "worst rally ever" title? 😂😂

I must say that Rallye du Var is completely different level. Most of amateur events in Czech has better organisation...

Well, the very first special stage of the Rallye National Hivernal du Dévoluy turned into trouble right away. We started the SS1 very carefully. We had a good grip on the first two corners, and on the third, our car aquaplaned unexpectedly, and we lost control over it. We were fighting for it until the very end, using all snowbanks and small trees, but we ended up off the road, and hit a large tree, where our car got stuck without a chance of getting out on its own. Such a shame, really.



My countryman Gregoire Munster is leading the rally after the first stage.
