    Yes he said he was especially happy to have Italian rubber for these Italian stages.

    I assume its a deal for the season. Lets see how they do on gravel.

    Athough he seems quite happy:
    "It's not often I would be happy with finishing 4th, but after all the hard work, the testing, it has been immensely satisfying to have been competitive with our MRF Tyres! Both the tyres & the i20 R5 performed faultlessly, we still have some work to do but thank you MRF!"
    Considering the decades of development their competitors Pirelli & Michelin tyres have had, MRF and Breen did a great job here.

    The Portuguese had fought his way into the lead during a thrilling battle with Ken Torn only to crash out on the very last stage at the wheel of his all-new Peugeot 208 Rally4.

    “The rally went quite okay until the last stage,” said Antunes. “We were with a good pace, fighting with Torn and congratulations to him because he did quite an amazing rally too. In the last stage we were trying to push and we thought we don’t need to really push because Torn was behind and we won the stage to him in the second pass so we were quite okay.

    “We were doing exactly the same time but it was a really fast section and when I brake the rear of the car just went sliding. It wasn’t because I was pushing too hard, it was like the tyres were used, the brakes were almost at the end of the rally and it’s what it was.”

    Lukyanuk said he didnt have the budget for this rally just 2 weeks ago. Thanked his Team and Citroen for coming up with the money just in time.
