Rally Portugal 2016

[dimviii]

I count swedish way, not greek:
SS3 0,5 s/km from Evans
SS4 0,7 s/km from Tidemand
SS5 0,2 s/km from Tidemand
These stages (not counting Mickey Mouse as you did) were only troublefree stages (what I know)

For me that counts as speed regarding his first outing.

you sould stick at Greek way.To help you understand why.

at ss 3 Evans had clutch problems,except the handling problems(not excuses here)

"Really struggling with the feeling here and now I have a bigger problem - I don't have a clutch."

From Tidemand he was more than 1 sec/km slower


at ss4 you find promising the 0,7 sec per km? this is plenty of minutes at a rally.Not so promising.

at ss 5 Berqvist had the national time because of Paddons crash

so the fastest stage time you find is because he get National time.

Thats the way you have to judge stage times,regardless the Nationality of driver.

Berqvist has show very good speed and consistesy with adam opel,but that another level and we have to wait to see if he can be capable.
So dont try to name him fast,before he has some trouble free rides for some rallies.
