The Polo R5 is probably faster than the Mini JCW WRC by now.

The Polo R5 is probably faster than the Mini JCW WRC by now.

Gorban not fast enough as you think. But so far no other comparison with MiniWRC.

Mini RRC for Gorban?

No, WRC version.

RRC is even slower.

Great win by Oliver! Despite a puncture on last stage - Gorban had no chances to win this rally.
And quite interesting battles in other classes. LRC3, after SS5 top3 was in 5sec. Torn try to attack Sesks and Poom but went off into a snowbank and lost 3 min. On next stage Poom try the same with same result, spent 12min in a snowbank. Sesks 'easy' win a rally.
In LRC5 - battle with two CivicR3. Tolp and Subi fighting from a beginning. After SS8 Tolp leading by 0.28sec. SS9 jump again into a lead (2sec) and on last stage went off into snowbank. Lost a lead and another 2min.

Results: http://autorally.lt/?m=4 Guest from Czech Republic Jaroslav Orsák/Jindřiška Žáková did great job and win rally ahead of local hero Vaidotas Žala and his Latvian co-driver Andris Mālnieks, after they had some technical problems. It was really hard rally, with difficult conditions, so it's impressive drive from Jaroslav and his co-driver.
