He was already fastest last year with Mitsubishi, which was way more powerful than current BMW. And previous years also pretty fast with 2WD BMW.
You can of course have your opinion, that normal. But don't write that you "guarantee" anything about what you have totally no idea.

He had problems winning Lithuanian national events last year and all of a sudden this year he is faster than the entire ERC field.
I have no idea where you get your information but seriously... Not even Ogier could beat the entire ERC field with something that according to you is weaker and heavier than an R5 car. It is impossible.
I don't know the exact rules in Lithuania, it was more of an example. If it was as easy as I described we'd have people wrapped around trees daily.

If the garage builds the car under same rules as the manufacturer than I for sure agree. However if the rules are significantly different it doesn't need to be true as all the works cars are restricted. They are not the best what those manufacturers can build since the rules give them restrictions.
Not speaking about Samsonas as I know nothing about his case. I mean general principle why I don't support some crazy local invented rules very different than FIA ones. It's same case with GTs here in CZ where ASN basically allows whatever Invelt team comes with. In this moment nobody can say how fast their car is when there is no sensible comparison.Stupid is as stupid does. Forrest Gump

Ok correction... I missed that the open class did not run all the stages up until stage 13 so I compared times wrong with the main rally. My mistake, sorry about that!
Samsonas is still faster than most of the ERC field, but not as crazy fast as I thought he was. Apologies where apologies are due.

During Rally Estonia he was not that fast. Only one stage he won ex equo with ERC drivers, rest he was slower, around 5-7 positions most of the time.
Last season he was by far fastest on all lithuanian champs events he took part in. Just had some punctures, technical issues and one off.
I have enough data to compare acceleration, etc of M3X and R5 cars and I know what I'm writing.

8 minute onboard from Lukanyuk. He still drives the R5 like a long heavy Mitsubishi.

http://automanas.tv3.lt/savadarbiams...sose-ne-vieta/ Some more info in local media about Samsonas car, and what difficulties they have faced now, sadly same accusations on Vorobjov's Mirage Proto, which isn't so "super too fast". Google translate does OK job on this article
