Hi, friends!
If you ask me, Hungarian event is one of the best of the European Rally Championship. They say that this is a pure tarmac rally but there is so much mud on the road that on some sections looks like it is a gravel one.
This event is now 3rd edition of the rally and it is the most interesting because it has been ran in late October when it is wet a lot and if there is no mud on the tarmac, there is lots of leaves so it can be even more slippery.
Andreas Mikkelsen just has to finish this rally in the points to have almost secured another title and this time he could become European Rally Champion after he snatched WRC2 title last weekend without driving at Catalunya Spain at all.
There are some super interesting names competing this rally and Mads Ostberg is one of them because the team which run his car called TRT Racing is from Hungary and they are running his car this season.
Erik Cais is back with his Ford Fiesta Rally2 and he can show finally how good he is after great rally at Barum in Czech Republic on the roads he knows good.
Norbert Herczig is another fast driver from Hungary, the same as Frigyes Turan who is on the Hankook tires, and both of them could finish in the top 3 easily.
But the best placed driver after short super special stage is super fast Russian Nikolay Gryazin who has the best chances to win this rally if he won't crash out.
I don't where is double ERC champion Alexey Lukyanuk but I guess that he has budget problems after so many crashes this season.
Let the best win - as always...
