    So did other cars.. if it was previously weakened maybe they should change steering arms at each service as a matter of course? Or maybe M-Sport need to toughen them up.

    Same problem in two rallies cannot be a coincidence.

    Looks to me that the "famous" red barrel was in a different position on the first loup (2m14s). Or am I seeing wrong?

    Seems to me 2, but can't really say for sure. If it is so then Lukyanuk's brain works differently from other drivers.

    Really? I was very disappointed with Sirmacis. He was never higher than 5th position on a stage and was only 15th overall when he rolled his Skoda. Destroyed car, wasted money and no points. I think everybody expected something better from him

    By the way guys, just wanted to say that it was such a pleasure to have this rally thread without the usual nasty, childish, pathetic comments from you-know-who.

    If only all threads could be like this...

    What do you think about rally? That you can step in and drive directly with the best on your first tarmac rally? For a driver with less experience as Sirmacis he did very good in a competitive playing midfield, he was like you said sometimes in the top 5, great results and yes it's good to find the limit of the car and yourselfs, that's the way it goes with the best.
    I think he's showing great potential for a private driver, Skoda will pick him up as a (semi-)factory driver i think for 2017.
