[ERC] Acropolis Rally 2014

Going to be an exciting end. Lappi seems to be out of the game, I was expecting more from him today.

I guess the stages are slower and twistier today and Breen is still fast so either their torque is really good or they do indeed have a shorter gearbox also.

You could see on the onboards yesterday they only touched the rev limiter occasionally despite very fast roads.

Very good morning with 3 different stage winners, exactly what the Championship needed, close competition.

Still a way to go - lets hope no-one has problems and we see a real fight to the end.

That moment of Breen was very much Galli-style

Thanks! That's very long gearbox indeed and I have to apologize to HarriK, he was right! With such a long gearbox the engine must be really powerful.
