Now it can be told … The worst was still to come for Nikolay Gryazin’s co-driver on the recent Rzeszow European Championship Rally, after their heavy accident when in third place overall and leading the ERC Junior Under 28 category.
While both Gryazin and co-driver Yaroslav Fedorov emerged from the wrecked Fabia R5 intact, as Gryazin explained: “Yaroslav hurt his foot when the car number 22, the Fabia of brothers Jarek and Marcin Szeja, went off and crashed into our stricken car. He fell into a ditch when he tried to run away.”
