Looks like it is a few locals with S2000 cars new to them, or pure gentlemen drivers - is it so ?

As far as Oleksowicz is concerned, he was driving Peugeot 207 S2000 last year (http://rallyonline.pl:84/ft.php?idg=4079&pg_[go]=34).
As soon as he learned the car and started doing good stage times, he decided to switch it to Ford Fiesta S2000 and jump to European Championship (http://rallyonline.pl:84/ft.php?idg=4706&pg_[go]=38). So now everything is new to him again - the car, the championship, the rallies... and he has to learn again. Add to that the heavy rains over Croatia (and Oleksowicz doesn't like driving in the rain at all) and you have explanation of his bad stage times...

Thanks for the video! As someone suggested yesterday, it must have been some mistake in Iliev's pace notes, he was waaaay to fast in this corner!

Yes, it was his mistake in pacenotes, he has confirmed it also in interview after first leg.

Very nice video, thanks a lot! Good idea with those shots from the boat. You are almost as good as Werner Herzog
