Rally Arlamow - two Fiestas R5 succeeded in the debut
Both crews showed excellent performance – Wojtek and Sebastian won the 3-rd position overall with only 8 seconds loss to the winner. Tomek and Damian who represent TIGER Rally Team were classified on the 6-th place in final standings. In 2WD group Radek Raczkowski co-driven by Szymon Gospodarczyk (Citroen DS3 R3) were leading their class after day one. Unfortunately they had to retire after the slipping off the road on the second day.
Wojtek Chuchala:
- It's hard to tell in a few words what has happened at this rally. Conditions were extreme , and the battle lasted until the final kilometers. We are happy that we finished the rally in a good position. We lost just seven seconds to winner. However, the assumption was that it should be the only rally that we treat as a testing event. The car was new so it was more important to get experience rather than to fight for victory. But strangely enough we won a few stages even though were not planning to do it. It was cool! I am glad I can work with C -Rally because it is the best option for me as regadrs my personal development and learning a new car. We already know that the Fiesta R5 is a very fast rally car which allows us to make great times on stages. We are confident that upcoming rallies will occur even better for us!
Tomek Kasperczyk:
- We are very happy because the result overcame our deepest expectations. Frankly, I could not have wished for a better debut on Fiesta R5. This car is fantastic! It was one of the toughest rallies in which we started so far. In many sections we had to fight for survival. I was afraid if we can keep a good pace in these extreme conditions. The first tests we made on Ford just a few days before the rally. Therefore, we were trying to run with as little margin of error. It's nice that we were able to make contact with a number of more experienced drivers who have been competing in the Polish Championships for a long time. It inclines us very positive for the future. C-Rally team has done a good job. Together we have achieved a great success. Thank you very much.
