[ERC] Rally di Roma Capitale 2023

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Big lead for Armstrong over Andreucci after the first loop in the Rally 3 battle. Maybe Andreucci will improve as he gets more used to the Clio.

Lukyanuk finishes the 1st loop of the day going just 1.8sec off the pace.



"It's way above our expectations, to be out of the car for 2 years, our pace notes are at about 80% so it takes a lot of effort from me to push the car. It's not easy but we try to enjoy."

New car, new co-driver, 2 years out.. above my expectations too!

Punctures Lukyanuk in practice and stops. It starts again. Even Csomos arrives at the end of the test with a punctured tyre.
Many stones in the trajectory due to the passage of the previous cars. Several competitors have punctured or damaged rims.

He was only 1.5s off the pace on the last stage of the day.

He's clearly lost none of his pace given the time away, new car, co-driver etc.

He would probably have won a couple more ERC titles if he'd been competing.
