[[Madeira-Rally]]

i think Rzeznik will loose the 2nd place in the last stage to Solowow... 3rd place still is better result in his carreer?

[[Madeira-Rally]]

I was wrong... Rzeznik was faster than Solowow in the lat stage and was 2nd overall at the end of the rally!

[Tom206wrc]

Congratulations to Bouffier :)

And to Chmielewski, winner of 2WD again :D

[Jarek Z]

Béreš is extremely slow now. Does anyone know why?

I know more details now. Beres had problems with clutch today and then he stopped after also differential broke down in his Fabia.

[Mirek]

Thank You.

[Bartek]

I was yesterday on Rzeszów. Rally was very very short. i seen only 2 stages. Bouffier and Kajto are very fast drivers. From Sloviaka Melicharek i think. I saw Beres but he drove very slow. He came to the service park from SS8 but he didn't gone out from it. Also Orsak was too slow for me , I thought it would be faster on this stages. My next rally is Barum so it must be better than here. :)

PS: RRC sound is amazing for me :)

RRC sound is amazing for me :)

Unfortunately you will not hear it anymore. Solowow said that he is disappointed with Fiesta RRC. This car is not competitive enough against S2000 cars. The 30-mm restrictor is way to small to produce enough power and in his opinion the homologation should be changed. For next rallies he returns to Fiesta S2000.

Interesting that point of view from Solowow... that mens that Snijers did a good job in Ypres with the mini S2000...
I had many doubts about his performance in Ypres.. he was great to see in action... but his stage times weren't impressive, but know, with this testimonial from Solowow I can understand better his performance...

Anyway.. strange that they developed a car to be less competitive than the S2000...

[mousti]

I would even say a great job! He's 53 years old used to drive Gr B's and the old Group A cars and not the new trend cars powered by electronics and computers. He fits way better at the back of wheel of a car who drove in the 90's. Mini WRC will probably not good enough for the win in Omloop van Vlaanderen but we'll get to see some spectucalar passes by Snijers on the limit. Still not old enough to give it up on the highest level of rallying in Belgium.

[Jarek Z]

]Anyway.. strange that they developed a car to be less competitive than the S2000...

In the first place, I would ask the basic question - why were such RRC cars brought to life? Can't drivers in WRC and ERC drive the same cars?!

[HaCo]

In the first place, I would ask the basic question - why were such RRC cars brought to life? Can't drivers in WRC and ERC drive the same cars?!

If I recall correct, it were the manufactures who wanted to have the visual difference between the 'big' world rally championship boys and the rest of the world, simple as that. They want to be 'formula 1 of the dirt tracks' I guess.

[Mirek]

In the first place, I would ask the basic question - why were such RRC cars brought to life? Can't drivers in WRC and ERC drive the same cars?!

In my understanding they were afraid to have let's say one Mini which wins everything in Europe in 2011, so they put small restrictor in regional events till there is more of 1.6T cars around. In WRC they put the big one to be competitive in overall standings. I guess FIA will order bigger restrictor for regional events as well since next year.

So is this restrictor only a temporary solution?

[Mirek]

I think so. Otherwise whole class 1 concept doesn't make sense.

[mousti]

Solowow could still use the Fiesta as a WRC till the restrictor size has been changed.

[Bartek]

Someone said to me that Solowow bought Fiesta RRC :)

[Tom206wrc]

Michal Solowow back to the 207 S2000 or only for the Barum Rally Zlin :confused:

[Jarek Z]

I think he received a good offer from Peugeot. New livery can be found below:

Yep Peugeot Sport asked them to drive the Barum with it, something they couldn't refuse.. Probably only Barum.

Evo X for Rzeznik??? He has changed many cars this year!

[Jarek Z]

And still didn't win anything! ;)

[br21]

Evo X for Rzeznik??? He has changed many cars this year!
he switched cars with Kuzaj. Rzeznik was using evoX that Kuzaj used previously this year (rebuild to R4) and Kuzaj drove Rzeznik's training car - evo9, not a top spec car surely, and he was able to won first stage and then struggled with technical issues (steering column loose, brake problems, turbo problems...) Kuzaj will drive in Rajd Polski with that evoX, Rzeznik will use Peugeot 207

[mousti]

Staniszewski drove also a R4 or was it a full Gr A or oven just a Gr N?

[br21]

Staniszewski drove also a R4 or was it a full Gr A or oven just a Gr N?
It was top group N car, same car he will use in Rajd Polski.

[mousti]

Not a bad result then for him.

[BleAivano]

Jarek Z, will there be any live updates from Rally Poland this weekend?

[br21]

Yep mousti, Staniszewski is really fast on his home gravel stages, He's got top spec group N evo 9, now with new Reiger shocks.
BleAivano, there will be live results surely, no live video from stages as far as I know, I'll be in the service are for whole rally so can post some interesting updates.

Krzysztof Holowczyc won group N in Yakkima Rally in Russia last week. Next event for Holek is the 100 Acre Wood Rally in USA (again with Mitsubishi Lancer)
Does he consciously avoid big events or just lacks money?

[Mirek]

He is 50 years old now. What shall he prove to anyone? I believe he is driving only for fun.

[Jarek Z]

Yes, he drives for fun. To Russia and USA he was invited by friends, that he made during his long rally career. In USA he will be co-driven by Maciej Wislawski, so it will be a comeback of the classic duo that was winning in ERC in the nineties.

"From Russia with love" ;)

Nothing new in our championship. We have big problems with sponsors and with Tv relation. Also this rally is very expensive, i spoken with people from many teams and they don't like firstly snow rally and secondly place of this rally (North of Poland, they prefer from what i know Rally Magurski). For example Bebenek will have only 12 winter tyres for pre-rally tests and rally...

[Raven]

i spoken with people from many teams and they don't like firstly snow rally and secondly place of this rally (North of Poland, they prefer from what i know Rally Magurski).
Always the same stupid opinions. In official interviews they love gravel and snow... but when the cameras are turned off they complain about high cost. When there was no winter rally thay complained about it, when there is such event they complain about that.
Winter rally is too early? Maybe they want snow in summer? Arctic and Janner rallies are in January (first of them in the first weekend of the year!) and the entry list is always rich. Maybe it's time to learn to handle the car better instead of purchasing always the latest evolution of each car part (or the best wheels, best hotels, best petrol, etc.)?

[Bartek]

I think that you know what we should see on Elmot Rally, many cars but only for one rally.

Another problem is with entry list in Polish Rally Second League (PZM). This is for guys who doesn't have big wallet and they trying to get a license, but organiser i think don't want them on rallies. Why? Because all drivers must have from this season HANS. I know, it will help if you had crash but it is also expensive for 18years old drivers withour big sponsors.

That's true. HANS in Polish Trophy (or whatever it is called now) is one of the biggest stupidities of recent years. And there were many idiotic decisions in the past.

Unfortunately we have to admit, that rallying as a sport is in difficult situation. The motoring associations, that are supposed to support and promote it, are killing the sport. And it's like that everywhere in the world. Look at FIA (WRC and ERC), IRC, Polish Championship (PZM), German championship and many other countries...

No !!! Bebenek off and rear damaged on SS3(was 2nd overall after SS2)...lost more than 5 minutes :mad: ;(

[Bartek]

This rally don't have any sense but this is my private opinion, first place is reserved for Kajto, now i know why Solowow resigned from driving in Poland.

[Wim_Impreza]

Do you know if Koltun (Fiesta S2000) has problems, Bartek? I know it is his first time in a S2000, but I expected a bit more.

[Mirek]

It's sad to see the incoming results :(

[Tom206wrc]

This rally don't have any sense but this is my private opinion, first place is reserved for Kajto, now i know why Solowow resigned from driving in Poland.

Kajetanowicz just had avoid mistakes, what the others didn't do, no ???? So what's the problem, that's rallying :confused:

[Tom206wrc]

Nice time by Bebenek on SS5 !!! If he hadn't gone off on SS3 he would have been solidly 2nd overall ;)
Promising for the rest of season :cool:

[Tom206wrc]

Chmielewski rolled on SS5 !!! :(

[Bartek]

Do you know if Koltun (Fiesta S2000) has problems, Bartek? I know it is his first time in a S2000, but I expected a bit more.

No, he didn't had problems, he is driving from snowbank to snowbank, i don't know why, maybe he is not so good to drive S2000, i think he wasn't enough good to driving DS3 but ....

It is funny to listening what drivers are saying after first stages, for example, Grzyb told that this rally is his first rally on snow after 4 years and his first rally on snow with 4WD. I don't know what drivers doing on winter break in other countries but i know what are they doing in Poland (I'm not saying about illegal recce :) ) ....

Maybe i'm wrong but i'm in 100% sure that Kajto is better than Kosciuszko, Lotos makes a big mistake.

[Tom206wrc]

Koltun retired from day one :mark:

[mousti]

Broke a wheel yesterday.

[br21]

Koltun ripped off FR wheel on first run of shakedown, they repaired it before SSS. He is simply not fast driver, lost some time in snowbank today and retired after service (don't know why). Kajetanowicz is very good driver, very well prepared to this event and he drives in class of his own. Chuchala quite OK as for his experience, he is still learning and improving. Bebenek not that bad, only around 70kms before the rally in S2000 car, he lost lot of time on SS3, when he spun at high speed and then was forced to stop to clean snow from radiator as the engine started to overheat. Rest... in my opinion they are mostly unprepared to snow conditions, don't know how to set-up the car for such conditions, don't know how to drive fast on such surface, also new, difficult stages, snowy conditions are difficult for drivers used to drive the stages using their memory instead of pacenotes...
Chmielewski hit a tree and rip a wheel off...

[Tom206wrc]

Why 30" penalty for both Grzyb and Bebenek :confused:

[br21]

Why 30" penalty for both Grzyb and Bebenek :confused:

leaving service without rear bumper...

Next rally in Poland is Memoriał Janusza Kuliga in Wieliczka. This is 2 days event, first day is for amateurs, stages are near Łapanów where Kulig lived, second day is in Wieliczka. Stage leads by streets of Wieliczka. Entry list should be better than in Rally Lotos.

I red today that Urmo Aava is training and adwising one of your young drivers. Article in Estonian:
Urmo Aava utsitab Poola noort talenti - Sport, Auto ja Moto - Postimees.ee (http://sport.postimees.ee/749116/urmo-aava-utsitab-poola-noort-talenti/)
Shortly: Driver is Wojtek Chuchala
Urmo will be there during all the tests and rallies (14 times in total).
He is teaching how to write a stage notes (he is sitting on the back seat during recce and makes notes - he is even learning some Polish tu work better) and during the test he is on the codriver seat and gives tips on driving technique.
He also describe Polish system that each day is with new points and gives credits to his driver for his first day results. He hopes to help him on Polish title in one day :-)

[dimviii]

How to help a Polish and not an Esthonian?Are they related in any kind?

[bluuford]

How to help a Polish and not an Esthonian?Are they related in any kind?
Thay are paying for him.And he also has helped/teached Estonians like Kangur, Kruuda, Pärn. Currently he is more worried about special series for youngsters in Estonia.

[dimviii]

thanks bluuford

[br21]

In 2011 Tapio Laukkanen was teaching Chuchala, now they switched for Aava. Chuchala will do Rally Estonia this year as it's the event organized by Urmo. Aava has a lot of work this season in Poland, he was helping Koltun (Fiesta S2000) and Ptaszek (Fiesta R2) also this winter, maybe somebody else too.

[br21]

End of Michal Bebenek with the 207 S2000 in polish championship ??? :confused:
Looks like he will use a VW Polo prototype at the Memorial Janusz Kulig...

Exactly as PLuto said, it's only one outing in VW Polo Proto made by Dytko Sport. Platinum, Bebeneks main sponsor, is also main sponsor of this event, so they bring special car. Polo-like bodyshell with evoX parts.

Janek Chmielewski tested today Peugeot 208 R2, car was from Peugeot Sport

[Jarek Z]

A new replica of group B Audi Quattro has recently been built in Poland. The driver will be Beltowski.

About next round in Poland, entry list should be very good.

Here is info about Fabia WRC, Rajd ¦widnicki 2012 - Jacek Ptaszek wystartuje Fabi± WRC, Tomaszczyk w Pucharze Fiesty (http://www.rajdy.v10.pl/Rajd,Swidnicki,2012,Jacek,Ptaszek,wystartuje,Fabia ,WRC,Tomaszczyk,w,Pucharze,Fiesty,78066.html)

Driver is not very fast but we will see what he can after winter and test his car. On entry list should be also Bryan Bouffier with his main sponsor Tedex. Nice surprise is entry list for Ford Fiesta R2 cup (about 8car), looks very promising.

From other important news, Kuchar bought Impreza R4, maybe four R3 Clio from upcoming round. Of course if Bryan will not start my main favourite is Kajetanowicz, other drivers i think can be only in "second league".

[Tom206wrc]

Not sure Bouffier will be in Swidnicki in two weeks, he's on entrylist of Rallye Lyon-Charbonnières the same week-end :confused:

[Bartek]

So no Bouffier in Swidnicki, i like him so it it disappointment for me....

Hmmmm. on FFSA page i found this: 13/04 - 15/04Lyon Charbonnières Rhône

So it still possible to see Bryan in Swidnicki :)

[Tom206wrc]

Oops sorry :s indeed it's a week after, Lyon-Charbo ;)

New car for Tomasz Kuchar in Swidnicki next week :confused:
He tested the same car as Kajetanowicz, pics on Rajdy samochodowe - Rallyonline.pl - rajdy samochodowe! (http://www.rallyonline.pl) ;)

I think they'll both drive an Impreza R4.

[Bartek]

Yes, R4 for Kuchar from Swidnicki

No Grzyb, rumors about illegal recce...

[Mirek]

I was told he lost driving license in Slovakia, so maybe that is the reason? But sure I wouldn't be surprised about illegal recce. Grzyb is quite notorious in that...

[Bartek]

Before Rally Tribec he was stopped on the stage from Rally Karkonoski with driver from Fiesta R2 Cup, police informed organiser about this action. Shame but this is biggest disease of our rally...

My prediction about rally is all stage for Kajto

[Jarek Z]

But sure I wouldn't be surprised about illegal recce. Grzyb is quite notorious in that...

Is it well known even in Czech Republic?

[Mirek]

Yes, he is but I don't say Czech drivers don't do that (and I know in other countries like Belgium it is also "standard") ;)

[Bartek]

Koltun after crash in test rented Fabia from Roman Kresta, maybe he will have also setup from Roman :)

[Wim_Impreza]

Good that they do something with rumors about illegal recce in Poland. In Belgium they don't do anything when a driver is doing illegal recce. :(

[Wim_Impreza]

Illegal recce is not a Belgian problem. I know that there's illegal recce in The Netherlands, France (both asphalt and gravel championship), and in the IRC... I expect there's illegal recce everywhere, very hard to avoid it as the roads are public.

Yes, but in the Netherlands the driver receives 2' penalty before the start of the rally when they saw him in illegal recce. In France, Jean-Marie Cuoq lost his title in the French Tarmac Championship due to illegal recce. In Belgium, they do nothing when they see a driver in illegal recce...

[Wim_Impreza]

What is €500 for a very big team? Nothing... And that were only a few teams and only in 1 rally. When they should give big time penalties or a ban to start the rally, maybe than the drivers and co-drivers know they did something really wrong.

[Mirek]

Koltun after crash in test rented Fabia from Roman Kresta, maybe he will have also setup from Roman :)

It's ex-Romans car. Now run by Sparrow Racing (Dunovský). Still good and reliable car.

My prediction about rally is all stage for Kajto

Glad you were a bit wrong :-) Really positive surprise by Wojciech CHUCHAŁA! He was driving very well until the last stage when he lost 44 seconds

[Bartek]

Glad you were a bit wrong :-) Really positive surprise by Wojciech CHUCHAŁA! He was driving very well until the last stage when he lost 44 seconds

He can do something good i think, he has potential, it is not a mystery that he have enough money to drive in other countries, he has good teacher and most important he has good results at this moment.

About Kajto i can say only one thing, he is too good to driving in our country. Bebenek like always had problems, yesterday he said that he can fight for a win, we saw something other, very good start for Habaj(Perfect 1st leg), about other just take a look into results and see what is a different between them and Kajto, Chuchala and Habaj.

[Jarek Z]

Glad you were a bit wrong :-) Really positive surprise by Wojciech CHUCHAŁA! He was driving very well until the last stage when he lost 44 seconds

He was still not very far from the truth. Kajto won 15 out of 17 stages :)

And the explanation of Chuchala's 44 seconds on the last stage is that he made a bad tyre choice and was driving the whole stage on slick tyres in the falling rain :)

I know that Hillclimb is not a rally but next week we have next round of our hill climb championship and entry list looks amazing, i can't remeber when i saw entry list like this in RSMP. Track in Limanowa is the best track in Poland and i think one of the best in Europe (i think ARMCO is all year, in winter is perfect road for night driving :) ).

I will try to talk with co-driver, yesterday i saw him but i didn't now about this ;) But if they want to start i think it will be junior Ptaszek and not with WRC but with his R2, he is too young to drive WRC

[MartijnS]

It seems to be junior Ptaszek indeed and he would really drive the WRC according to the engineer of Wevers.

[EightGear]

Do you know if he will drive Van Loon's or Ten Brinke's car or a new one?

One of the two probably..

Note Zerebecki is currently the fastest of the three ;)

[Tom206wrc]

With one stage to go on the Rajd Rzeszowski, Kajetan Kajetanowicz has settled a big advantage toward his victory, whereas Grzegorz Grzyb and Michal Bebenek are settled comfortably 2nd and 3rd...
In 2WD Szymon Kornicki(8th overall)has a clear gap over Jan Chmielewski(11th)
In R2 nothing is done, Typa(leader of the polish Ford Fiesta trophy) has only 5"5 advantage over Nagy(Citroën driver) ;)

I don't know if live results from this rally were available anywhere. The rally was won by local driver Zbigniew Staniszewski (for the first time in 207 S2000 indeed).

Results:
1. Zbigniew Staniszewski/Radosław Korzeniewski (Peugeot 207 S2000)
2. Krzysztof Hołowczyc +20,3s (Subaru Impreza)
3. Tomasz Kuchar (+40,9s) (Subaru Impreza)
4. Bębenek brothers (+1:23,4) (Peugeot 207 S2000)
5. Grzegorz Dul (+2:04.1) (Mitsubishi Lancer)

It was the last test before Rally Poland.

Strange, since he was very unsatisficted when he drove car last year.....

Strange, since he was very unsatisficted when he drove car last year.....
The car had major updates at the beginning of this year, so it he might want to try it out in a new form. He has been always trying out all kind of new cars as you might have noticed :-)

[Mirek]

Yes, there was big evolution since then.

Here in Krakow we have prblem, we ha e many drivers but we have only third rally league, in February there is Janusz Kulig Memorial, many amateur rallies but no RSMP. There should be more amateur events with few good cars in next weeks so i can help witb transport or something other. Everything is about 25km from Krakow, in November in other region about 100km will be good second league rally with i think few drivers from RSMP. I can help if want to know more info

Dytko is only wasting money for this crazy projects...

[Georgi]

Can he drive with this car in ERC or Polish rally championship ?
Why he is doing it ???

[PLuto]

No, this car is "crap" same like Polo Proto. It has no international homologation...

[br21]

It's almost the same car as Proto Polos built previously, same body, just with different panels - 208 instead of Polo. Next year it should be possible to drive this car in Polish Rally Champs and in Hillclimb champs - in Poland & Europe. Building cars is one of Dytkos businesses and he earns money on those, he sold all Polos he built until this time without any problems.

I like him, so that's absolutely not a problem, everybody can have their own opinion about different things! :)

[br21]

For 2013 in Poland looks like Kajetanowicz (Impreza R4) will continue doing national champs, also probably Bebenek, Rzeznik (both with 207 probably), not sure about Solowow. Also Oleksowicz (Fiesta) will be back in national champs after 3 years of competing abroad (2x ERC and SWRC). No official Peugeot Poland team, as they can't support 207 anymore. No new cups also expected. Only Fiesta R2 (R1 also could compete in same cup) and Citroen DS3 R3 (not sure if C2R2 still could compete).
Also new "proto" class, for cars like those Dytkos Polo or 208. There should be also at least one good Subaru in this class, plus some other prototypes are being constructed in some garages but not sure if they will start finally.

[Tom206wrc]

It's a pitty Peugeot Polska didn't use the arrival of the 208 R2 to create a new trophy :(

Looks like Solowow stops rallying so we won't see him in 2013 on Polish stages.
Kuchar bought 207 S2000 and he will be strong contender for top spots.
One Proto from Dytko goes to Ukraine.
Other Proto, not Dytko-build, could drive few rallies - Fiesta body + evoX internal parts.
Also one or two other Proto cars expected in some rounds.

Yes, as for now 4 DS3 R3T confirmed - Chmielewski, Kornicki, Raczkowski, Typa. Maybe one or two more possible.

There are ten days till Elmot Rally, and there is still big winter in south Poland, lot of snow, etc. We'll see what will happen.

On Sunday there will be small rally (30 ss kms) on stages from Rajd Rzeszowski. Few fast drivers and cars should take part there, at least one S2000 will be there if conditions will be ok.

Good news from Poland. We have a new team in Polish championship - Platinum Subaru Rally Team. The team will have two cars, that will be driven by the famous Bębenek brothers and current Subaru team members Chuchała/Heller. Good luck!

Interesting: Aleksander Zawada with french female codriver Cathy Derousseaux :confused:

Kuchars start in 207 is not 100% sure yet. Some problems with money.
Bebeneks 207 was rented from TRT, I don't know who will prepare his Impreza, maybe also Tagai.
Zawada will start with Xavier Panseri in rest of the season, only this first rally with other codriver as Panseri has other duties at this time.

Still heavy snowing in Poland, I'm curious about the conditions for the rally.

Kuchar's new livery can be seen below. The rally starts on Friday evening.
