Barum Czech Rally Zlín 2019

[mknight]

It saddens me when people just come on the ERC forum when they see a crashed car to slag off the driver (in this case Gryazin), or Lukyanuk or another. Where are they when they are driving well and winning stages, beating the local guys or even the current champion ?

And do they not enjoy their flat-out style ? Many young stars had these crashes ('Colin McCrash', and even the new hero Tanak).

Do they prefer one of the dozen guys just driving around safely and finishing 3 minutes behind ?

"Beating" counts after the finish line. Until then it's just a "split time".

While flat-out drivers indeed add "flavor", it used to be typical for "less serious" rally fans to cheer mostly on these. Lately this kind of cheering seems much more common even here. Backing off just a bit and keeping it on the road is seen as a bad trait for a driver.

There is a big difference between an off when the driver just barely crossed the fine margin and when a driver has completely wrong speed in the corner... repeatedly.

I see ERC as an arena to show yourself for WRC potential (and a place for "local" drivers to compare with others). Gryazin has seen much hype lately over other drivers that actually make it to the finish (here that would be Ingram and Mares).

crash, crash and crash. Even if he was reminded not crash - he will crash anyway. I follow Lukiyanuk a bit longer than you, cuz you not following national Baltic championships or russian nat. championship. And nothing change since that time. One exceptional year was 2018 when he crash less than usual.

maybe, but it does not help that this year he drives a, so far, completely useless rallycar, that is miss by Citroen.

Ingram in front of Marez again, I must say I favor Ingram!

Tell me please,

Amazing how close the battle between Ingram-Mares, congrats to both of them for a great event

Now waiting for the R2, Llarena has it difficult but I hope he can do it

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Ingram leads the Championship unofficially !!

Gryazin is 21... plenty of time to learn to judge when to back off. At least he is fast.

With those high speed-off he is on potential way to hurt himselve or his co-driver.....
