RadioShack Rally Team

Raivo Dabins with Citroen C4 2008 just didn’t 

left any chances for others in first day five stages. 

Five stages – five fastest times! He got more then 

40seconds handicap, but second day will be hard,

so we can’t say it is already clear. In second

 Arvis Blomnieks with Ford Focus 2006, third is

 Kristaps Usvils with Ford Fiesta S2000.

Five stages – Five fastest times! Great driving from Raivo, he was just one level better then others today! After fifht stage he said that there anyway was mistakes but its still okey. In second place Arvis, he will probably more fight with Kristaps, than Raivo, he isn’t that fast, becouse of expierence with WRC. Kristaps with S2000 car is only 3seconds behind, lets hope for great fight, becouse how we know, Kristaps can drive fast also with S2000.

In PWRC leader is driver from Estonia – Hardo Reinart with Subaru Impreza N14, second, 13seconds behind him, is Uldis Vizulis also with N14, third is new driver- Janis Simsons with N14 URT, fourth Andis Balins. There will be fight for first plase, becouse third place is far away. This rally is without Jernej Feltrin, sad, but others have chance at least!

SWRC is dominating Kristaps Usvils with Fiesta, second, almost minute after him, is Aivis Rubulevs with Fiesta, then, less than second behind is Gedvis Relistaz from Lithuania with Proton, fourth Ritvars Zeltins, with Peugeot, only 13seconds after Gedvis.

Bigest suprise is in JWRC class. This class leader is woman – Laima Tikuma with Honda Civic R3(!!!). Unbielieveable! She is in front of others with 26seconds handicap. Second is Kaspars Baumanis with Honda, then Andris Laskins with Ford Fiesta S1600, minute after Laima, fourth Armands Dudins, also minute after leader. Nice suprise!

Interesting first day, lets wait for final results!
