Which Junior driver will win at WRC Croatia Rally this weekend??
Hi, friends!
Its finally here - after a long break from February's Rally Sweden, World Rally Championship continues this weekend with the first full tarmac rally of the season called WRC Croatia Rally 2022.
I already revealed lot of testing sessions being held around capitol Zagreb or the place like Vrbovsko or somewhere in Hrvatsko Zagorje, which are all the places around 100km from the capitol Zagreb.
This year I haven't been on any of these tests and that's because of my rally program which needs every single Euro because R2 cars are extremely expensive for the type of budget as it's mine. But guy puts a regular videos from the testing on YouTube so we can follow the testing this way.
Who are the favorites for the win at first tarmac round??
I think that one of the best is Jon Armstrong who won in Croatia last year. He doesn't test that much because of the budget problems but he gets a seat for the smaller rally events from time to time. He was at ERC Azores Rallye last month and perform great. That rally is a gravel event but it is better to driver at gravel then not to drive at all, even the next event is on tarmac.
Sami Pajari is a current Junior World Rally Champion and has been testing at Lake Garda area but he wasn't in competitive action from Swedish event in February,
Estonian Robert Virves contested a small rally called Vipavska Dolina in neighborhood country of Slovenia which is a pure tarmac rally and finished 3rd overall in the similar machinery of Ford Fiesta Rally3.
William Creighton finished in the top 10 at West Cork Rally while Lauri Joona had competitive outing at Trofeo Maremma in Italy.
I put my bet on Jon Armstrong but you can never know in motorsport because it is a mechanical sport and you can never know when it can stop.
Let the best win - as always...
