I saw Gill first time in Cyprus Rally 2009 and I was impressed by his spectacular driving style. He was not that quick as fas as I remember back then.

Last year he did really good job against Atkinson. He crashed too many times, but in term of speed, he caused him a lot of problem !

Rubbish, he led a number of events but was let down by car problems including a broken battery cable in Australia and an engine failure (after 100km) in China. He won more stages than any other driver in the APRC.

Onboard Lappi/Ferm Queensland SS14 with few moments. Quite stupid first part of the stage, banging the limiter for many kilometres...

Yeah, why didn't they just hit the highway? It would be much more fun overtaking the cars there

A local article about Guarav. I believe he will have his chance at WRC Rally Australia this year to see how he ranks against WRC2 regulars.

Having just watched Lappi live for the first time at Malaysian Rally, I have to agree with your comments, Juha_Koo. For sure he has superb reflexes and generally good car control, but when I saw him on a couple of stages before the engine broke, IMHO he was overdriving the car including hitting the limiter a bit too often.
Of course, the weather, very technical stages and muddy conditions of Malaysia were more difficult for a first timer, but he was being outdriven by teammate Guarav Gill until a pacenote mistake put his Skoda in to a bank - not a good Day 1 for Team MRF Skoda who have no real opposition in APRC, this year. Anyway, the radiator was replaced overnight and Gill restarted to gain maximum Day 2 points. He now leads APRC by 1 point from Lappi.

Re: Aprc 2013
Here's an excellent video on the Malaysian round: http://vimeo.com/74035925
