Nice stages, but very fast! Heikkila says that it will be a super-fast Grand Prix weekend:

I only just noticed but Llarena is back in the old Fabia here. He prefers it, or logistical reasons?

Personally i'm convinced the peak performance of the new car is higher, but it does seem harder for even some quite experienced drivers to access it. On the other hand others adapted very quickly (Solberg, Sesks)

Ironically, looking at QS times at least it seeems Latvia should be the type of event that suits the new car the most.

So far Llarena isn't much faster than in Poland. Only 9th overall after 5 stages...

He's had some better stages too but maybe his problem is tougher competition this year rather than the car.

I think it is not only about car and tougher competition, but also about his self-confidence. He is going worse than himself year ago.

Gotta admit.. its reliefing to watch ERC. Lots of cars, nice stages, tire war, nobody complaining... Love this! GoMads!

I think those who (not drivers) complaining about speeds need to calm down: rally on gravel, high speed, sideway cars are the best spectacle for TV and on the sight. Those air-camera shoots are really cool - you feel the speed even at the screen of phone or TV.

When ERC returned to model where only some drivers choose starting position? Here only 17 out of 20 drivers choosed, and the 3 slowest are starting last. It makes no sense.
