70th Rally Poland (Rajd Polski)

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Official Peugeots are 8th and 10th after leg 1 and that only because of problems of Kubica and Kangur in the last stage otherwise they would be 10th and 12th. Quite a shame when You compare them with Bouffier.

'Official Peugeots' are actually the Peugeot Rally Academy - intending to develop new talent and not expecting them to win for the team...

Breen has been excellent in his first ERC season and is 2nd in the championship.

Aha so that's why he hasn't won anything this season.

No shame in a rookie being second to the likes of experienced men like Kopecky & Bouffier ... and he has set quite a few fastest times and had the odd off and punctures or he would have even better results this season.

Just been watching the 2nd live stage of today, some notes:

- Amazing committed driving by Bouffier, great to watch
- Bouffier's headlights, what the hell are they? It was like looking at the sun. The brightest whitest light I have seen from a lampod!
- Kubica really unlucky, I couldn't see whatever it was that he hit.
- Kopecky seems to be running an almost Safari style setup, very high ride height.

Great driving by Bouffier and Kajetan!
Nice times for Kubica and Kangur, a pity they made mistakes...
Disappointments: Kopecky (he should challenge for the win everywhere, even if he doesn't need it) and especially Breen. Maybe it has something to do with the codriver? Or setup?

[Mirek]

Kopecký has never been a gravel driver. He won only two gravel events in his whole career - Acores and Romania this year. In neither one of them he was the fastest but most reliable. I think that his pace on gravel has not changed much but since both Hänninen and Mikkelsen left we did not have the full picture of his speed through this season. I would say his victories on Acores and in Romania say more about the level of competition there.
