Rally2 (ex-R5) News

Compared to both Croatia and now Hungary it was a step slower.

In Croatia he was pretty much the fastest driver (but with multiple mistakes). Now in Spain he didn't win a single stage and was clearly slower than Camilli and Østberg.

Completely different type or roads and required driving style. He said himself that he was struggling with pacenotes in Catalunya.

Hadik driving a Fiesta Rally2 beat Østberg to win the 2021 Hungarian Rally Ch'ship.

[Tom K]

Yes, doing two rallies more

1) Boldogko Rally - Ostberg leading up to last stage (Hadik +50 s), puncture and dropped to 4th 2) Eger - Hadik was better, do not remember any particular problem for Ostberg (+49 s) 3) Salgo - no Ostberg, Hadik 2nd place 4) Mecsek - Ostberg won, Hadik 2nd place (+34 s) 5) Veszprem - no Ostberg, Hadik crashed 6) Vertes - Ostberg won, Hadik 2nd place (+48,5 s) 7) Nyiregyhaza/Hungary - Ostberg won, Hadik 2nd place (+26,1 s)

I think Østberg had some persistent engine issues in Eger.

That said tarmac seems like by far the best surface for Fiesta.

Yes, he was down on power, which got worse as the rally progressed, but he was lucky he could even finish unlike some weeks before that in Romania.

Apparently, Opel planning for a Rally2, but maybe wait for new hybrid Rally2 rules.
