Nikolai Gryazin showed the fastest time in the 4.61 km long test, followed by Miko Marcik, but Oliver Solbergs finished the fastest trio. Among front-wheel drive cars, Mārtiņš Sesks from Liepāja showed the fastest time. In general, it must be said that the speed shown by the leading riders in both training and qualification was very similar, so fierce battles are expected in all classes on Saturday and Sunday.

According to the results of the qualification stage, the fastest 15 crews will choose their starting positions tonight for the special stages planned for Saturday in Talsi region. Meanwhile, the first day of the competition will end with the debts of the participants scheduled for the rally city Liepājas streets, which will start at 21:15.

“Competitors here are very fast, but I am generally satisfied with my performance. I made a mistake in the last bend, but I did the rest of the stage well, ”not knowing that Nikolai Grjazins (Hyundai i20 R5) admitted to showing the fastest result immediately after the finish of the stage.
