Russian rally ace Nikolay Gryazin decided to try his luck with another manufacturer after driving with Škoda for some time now.

He will drive Volkswagen Polo R5 from Italian BMA team which is well known team in European rallying.

The best thing is that he entered Slovenian national event Rally Nova Gorica, tarmac rally, to try this car and practice a little bit for Catalunya (if he will be there at all).

Škoda is faster car then Volkswagen, that's for sure and much more reliable. When we remind ourselves about burnt Polos and rear axle problems, we don't have to think about it at all. Škoda is much better car, at least for now.

I will follow results and write about this rally this weekend.

Nice car, at least.
