Nikolay is trying a Polo this weekend in Nova Gorcia.

I'm not sure he'll want to go back to a Fabia afterwards....

Nova Gorica. In Slovenia. I can see just one result. He will beat everyone because competition isn't very high here.

You consider Fabia Evo a worse car?

Worse? No. Much better built than the Polo. Much cheaper to run. Much more reliable.

But the Polo is faster. Better balanced. Better weight distribution.

Yes, with such competition he should win it quite easily:

However, it's not a bad entry list for this part of Europe, just not good enough for Gryazin.

P.S. The stages in Nova Gorica look nice! How do you like this one?

Gryazin and Fedorov test their Volkswagen Polo R5 in Slovenia:

P.S. Interesting new sponsor

Gryazin is fast, but need to reach to finish to win.

He is outside of WRC2 on the entry list. Look at no. 91:

So no new mk8 Fiestas in Wales. Only 7's or is that a mistake?

So no new mk8 Fiestas in Wales.

I count five !? Greensmith, Paddon, Heller, Gill & Katsuta.

They were typed mkVII in that pdf, but on ewrc entry list they are mk8's.
So just a typo. 5 indeed.
5 Evo Fabias and only 4 old ones. The machinery is changing quickly

[Andre Oliveira]

Wrong! Since beggining they are Ford Fiesta R5 MK2 in eWRC-results.com

Yes, some people keep repeating again and again (here as well) that cheap but slower car can succeed on the market while the reality is again and again completely opposite. Teams buy the best machinery like crazy even if that is expensive.
