Barum Czech Rally Zlín 2018

I have to say I'm impressed with the pace of Erik Cais.

As far as I can tell he started rallying this year, is 19, and is leading the R2s. That's impressive. No gravel events that I can find though.

Any info Mirek? His future looks bright.

Yes, his stge times are impressive indeed. But he doesn't score points in ERC3, does he?

I saw Kreim had a puncture on SS8... still he beat Ingram, Sordo & Magalhaes' times !

It must've happened very slowly or very late in the stage.

Very fair notional times for foreign R2 crews. Reminds me to the situation on Rallye Sumava.

Very nice battles going on. I wonder can Lukyanuk hold off Kopecky tomorrow.

Gryazin dropped time on the last stage. Looks like Luky v Kopecky for the win.

I don't understand You. Rally Šumava decision was absolutely fair and explained enough. Here all affected ERC competitors got same time so what is wrong? Cais is not doing U27 or even ERC and is therefore irrelevant for this decision. For Your information U27 has other limitations which Cais doesn't have like fuel. He also did this stage much later on drier road.

Plus how do You know it's Pluto's decision?

I'm surprised that Sordo is struggling so much. Is the i20 slow or is Sordo slow on the broken Czech tarmac?
He is a world class driver after all and I was expecting him to be way ahead by now.

First time on the Barum and on a R5; due to that, I was expecting him to lose a bit during first loop, get even on the second and get the lead on Sunday to win, but the rain made things harder for him; 50s seems impossible to recover. Overall, the top 3 are making a fantastic job.

Overall classification for today?
