I thought both Bakkerud and Doran looked a lot tidier at Riga. Compared to previous weekends there seemed to be less mechanical failures as well. Still a way from trouble free, but an improvement, I hope it lasts.
Oh, and fingers crossed the damage to the car is fixable before the next round (I have read a comment from GCK on FB saying they should have it done).

I wasn't sure if it was the driver or car setup (or perhaps both), but I thought the electric C3 looked far better than the Fiesta. Raymond seemed to be chucking it around like a "normal" Supercar and it looked a lot more controllable on the limit.
Bloody glad that we have Ekstrom this year. The PSRXVW Polo and EKS S1 are two of my favourites of the WRX-era and I am thoroughly enjoying seeing Johan and Mattias going head-to-head in those cars. Real shame not see Niclas closer, though he does seem to be emerging as the "best of the rest" now.
