    By the way Sordo already once started in IRC/ERC against Kopecký and he won (with Mini RRC on Corsica)
    I should stop being sarcastic without using emojis. Empty hyberbole statement by Ingram.

    Sory, I'm too tired. Should have gone to bed already

    One crazy curiosity... Pluto's charm somehow caused that there is more crews from Tchai-wan than from neighbouring Slovakia

    A let down? Who needs Valousek and Kostka when you have Lukyanuk, Kopecky, Sordo and Gryazin?
    In my opinion a great entry list!

    Kostka and Valoušek have been always much faster than Gryazin on Barum. That has not been his strong event at all. Let's see this year.

    But Nikolay was working a lot on his driving skills on tarmac. He is much faster this year.

    Surprisingly it was not too far away, there were some attempts to start with Ford Fiesta R5 or later with Hyundai i20 R5, but finally it didnt happened.

    God forbid a young competitor showing some excitement when facing a WRC driver & an ERC local legend ..

    Even a young driver such as Ingram should have a better memory. It might be the best R5 entry where he is a part of, but it doesn't make it the best ever.

    Give us a break. He actually said 'maybe' and was just excited and not meaning to be taken literally.

    Perhaps we could discuss it instead of bitching at each other?

    Ingram said R5, and maybe he’s right.. other than Neuville/Ypres have any other current WRC drivers started with R5 elsewhere?
