Mellors Elliot Motorsport:
Great to be able to get the Proton Iriz R5 out on-track after lockdown, with the aim of testing some new settings for Oliver Mellors.

Even after sampling the competing R5s in depth, Crugnola still prefers the C3, and “not just because I drive a Citroën, but because it’s true,” as he’s quick to qualify.

“With the Citroën I’m more confident with the front axle, which is very important for my driving style,” Crugnola explained to DirtFish.

“With the other R5s that I drove in the past, I had to change my driving style a bit. Now I can brake a little bit earlier and I can get on the throttle earlier, because I can preload the front axle a little bit less.

"M-Sport pair Esapekka Lappi and Teemu Suninen will join rivals from Hyundai and Toyota in contesting the South Estonia Rally next weekend, two weeks before the World Rally Championship resumes with Rally Estonia.

Lappi will drive a privately owned Fiesta WRC from JanPro Racing, run by former WRC driver Janne Tuohino while Suninen will pilot a Fiesta R5 Mk2."

I would rather have seen Suninen in Latavia but hopefully there will be a good entry for South Estonia too.

Not bad, but in R5 class Liepaja is better.

Not bad, but in Rally2 (fixed that for you) class Liepaja is better.

Maybe but Gryazin, Huttunen and Asunmaa (currently leading Finnish championship) are giving some info.

Allowing Suninen to only drive a Mk1 Fiesta R5 is a bit poor from M-Sport.

Probably Suninen has to fund it by himself
