Winter “blast” in store for ERC ace Gryazin

FIA European Rally Championship event winner Nikolay Gryazin is in for a great time when he makes his debut on the Sigdalsrally in Norway this weekend (20-21 January).

That's the view of leading Norwegian driver Frank Tore Larsen, for whom the Sigdalsrally, which he won in 2014, is his home event.

"He's going to have a blast there," Larsen said. "The conditions in Norway are absolutely perfect and the snowbanks are really big. There's one stage that you can compare to Rally Finland but on snow."

Gryazin is taking part on the winter spectacular, the opening event of the Norwegian championship season, in his familiar Sports Racing Technologies ŠKODA Fabia R5. Yaroslav Fedorov will co-drive his fellow Russian.

The first round of the ERC, the Azores Airlines Rallye, takes place from 22-24 March.
