Take care guys, enjoy the event and be safe :bounce:

I thought cars for reconnaissance should be 4wd, but I see the Peugeot drivers using 207s(2wd) :confused:

No lives from the stages on Eurosport. Only the lives from the Service Park.
The super-special will be broadcast live on portuguese television. Can watch by somes streams on net.


Can someone explain why Eurosport can't transmit the SS1 live like the portuguese television? Is a technical question or a €€€$$$ question?

[JAM]

I see a lot of you are going to be there....use this rare occasion to meet one another ;)

Luis should be in charge to book a dinner. Friday or saturday. I will fly this evening, land at 23.30 in Ponta Delgada.

Since the beginning Eurosport showed no interest in the Super Special. They say this kind of stage does not fit on the essence of what should be a real rallye.

[JAM]

Explained, thanks!

[RS]

Good for them! They are right, although they have a place maybe to bring spectators in, but not the overkill we have in WRC.

I believe that Azores will be the first IRC event ever with a traditional SSS stage?

[urabus-denoS2000]

A big diamond drawing on the bonnet and the side of the car ???? :D :D

Well...




Yes :cool:

[wwbroe]

We just arrived in Ponta Delgada, and it is a little raining here. But be are on vacation, so it doesn't matter. Now we will go and do some recce for the stages. ;)

[Mirek]

Pretty strange that all who made more than one run have the same time for every run.

[Tom206wrc]

But where are the Skoda boys and Meeke ??? :confused:

[Tom206wrc]

Meeke appeared, third fastest so far :)

[Mirek]

Meeke is there with fastest time 2:00,0 of first runs ;)

[Tom206wrc]

I know it's only shakedown, but there Denis Millet isn't fastest 2wd driver at all for now :mark:

[Tom206wrc]

Is shakedown finished or not yet ??? :confused:

[noel157]

Is shakedown finished or not yet ??? :confused:

Think it finishes at 3 local time so an hour and 13 more minutes Tom.

Meeke 3rd run 00:01:01,7? Must be a timing error? Or twice as fast as the others.

[Mirek]

There was 2:01,7 originaly...

[Moriarty]

Who will drive Peugeot 207 with IRC 207 plate?
This car won MC & Brazil events.

[noel157]

]There was 2:01,7 originaly...

Thanks Mirek, Vouilloz still fastest with 1.58.4

Maurin getting plenty of seat time in the Polo, 7 runs so far.

[Moriarty]

Kris best time was 00:01:58,7, he is second.

It's same as for the UK(GMT)...and rest of Europe is about GMT+2 ;)

Do you mean that YOU are disappointed by the Grande Puntos times or that Abarth(engineers, drivers,...)are ???? :confused:

Headache music......

[wwbroe]

Just coming back in our appartment from super special stage. It was nice stage, being a super SS. :D Good start for Loix, who was also very spectacular and hit some iron pickets. Meeke also hit something with the right front corner. Not too much damage tough. We will see tomorrow what the times will be on the real stages, but Peugeot sure started very good.
This morning the Skoda's did only two runs on the shakedown, as they used this stage for testing. Kronos drivers did more runs (about 5-6 each) and Meeke was the fastest of the Peugeot drivers. ;)
Now it is time for dinner. :D

[eppel]

And here is Conrad's car,full of sponsors :D


http://www.fotosralis.online.pt/apresedsat09/images/IMG_4930.jpg (http://www.fotosralis.online.pt/apresedsat09/pages/IMG_4943.html)

This car does normally belong to Peugeot Sport!?

[Mirek]

Yes, it's their test car.

[Audimadgeoff]

I spoke to Conrad just before the super special and the first time he drove the car was on the way to the shakedown! not ideal but I'm keen to see how he goes this weekend!

[PLuto]

Who will drive Peugeot 207 with IRC 207 plate?
This car won MC & Brazil events.

Kris Meeke

[Mirek]

Sweeping roads will be a big issue according to Pluto who is there...

Well, he wasn't used to car on shakedown, he did a lot of runs but not fast at all. Also on superspecial he was rather slow with only 15th time as a result. ;)

[Tom206wrc]

Can't wait for today's action :bounce:

[wwbroe]

Can't wait for today's action :bounce:

Me neither, but still two hours to go before start, we are going to take breakfast now and then we leave to first stage Feteiras. Let's see who will be fast on the "real" stages. Hoping for big battle. :D

[Tom206wrc]

... Let's see who will be fast on the "real" stages....




Meeke :)

[wwbroe]

Meeke :)

We will see, you might be right but he is taking a lot of risks, maybe dangerous for punctures. :D He used allready three different cars during recce. :D

[AndyRAC]

Just out of interest, how much are the Tickets for this event? Be interesting to compare to the £50 for Rally of Scotland.

[noel157]

Really, why am I not surprised?

Rip-off Britain strikes again... :mad:

[PLuto]

Weather today is the same as yesterday, cloudy and now without rain.

[PLuto]

First cars are just now in first service, Vitor Pascoal had problems to start his car in TC before service.

[PLuto]

Most of drivers told, that starting order will be very important, there is a little sand on the gravel here, so for first cars on the road it will be big disadvantage.

[[Madeira-Rally]]

First cars are just now in first service, Vitor Pascoal had problems to start his car in TC before service.

He is having clutch problems

[J4MIE]

Should be live now :bounce:

Does anyone know what the running order is?

[noel157]

Most of drivers told, that starting order will be very important, there is a little sand on the gravel here, so for first cars on the road it will be big disadvantage.

Are they starting as per seeded list or from the results on the SSS last night?

[hari]

As per seeded list. Hänninen is already trough SS2.

[Madeira]

Basso has lost 1s/km for Haninnen!!!

[J4MIE]

Ah, I thought I had read that they would start in a different order (which I thought was strange!).

Basso slower than Hanninen :s

[noel157]

Rautenbach is nearly losing 1.5 secs per Km over 7.5km.

[J4MIE]

Am I right in thinking that Basso is not a gravel expert though?

But whatever, the Fabia does seem to be a quick car, hope Juho can keep it ont he island this time :)

[Madeira]

Bruno told that stage are very slipery and he begun cautious

[Moriarty]

No splits?

Loix in trouble.

[J4MIE]

Loix loses nearly a minute.... a puncture? :(

[[Madeira-Rally]]

Loix had a puncture

[Madeira]

Puncture for Loix!!

[Tom206wrc]

Fast Freddy in SS2 ??? :confused:

[Tom206wrc]

OK puncture... :mark:

[J4MIE]

Meeke takes the lead :D

[Tom206wrc]

Everybody slower than Hänninen...who said it was big disadvantage to start first ??? :confused:

[J4MIE]

Good time from Vouilloz :up:

It's going to be a close event I think, depends on conditions of course, repeated stages might be tough if rutted.

[Mirek]

Tom, it may be dissadvantage but don't forget that's Juho behind the wheel :D

[Sarac330d]

Than Hanninen should be much faster second time through this SS, when other drivers which are going behind him clean the road. :-)

[Mirek]

It's total 6 stages to clean out of 9 today...

[J4MIE]

SS3 should be live, first time up in about 10 minutes ;)

[Sarac330d]

]It's total 6 stages to clean out of 9 today...

I agree, but if anyone of this drivers in IRC can do it on this type of surface than Hanninen is right man for this job. :D

[[Madeira-Rally]]

Adruzilo lopes is stopped in SS 2

[alterdaxter]

SS3 should be live, first time up in about 10 minutes ;)

Also online streaming?
If so, what's the URL?

thanks

Basso was slower than Rautenbach... this is like a joke :s

[Tom206wrc]

Rautenbach faster than Basso on SS3...catastrophical Abarth :s

[J4MIE]

Very impressive time from Hanninen once again, hope he doesn't have too much damage :(

[Madeira]

]Madeira: Is it serious for Juho?
well it was a report from radio...

R. Moura his having engine problems... he is going on 3 cylinders only...

[[Madeira-Rally]]

Is the crew ok? Or just needing to get the car moved out the road?

As I know crew is ok... they need only to remove the car from the stage..

Thanks for the news ;)

[[Madeira-Rally]]

He will loose lot of time in next SS

[J4MIE]

So also 20m delay for rest of the day then? Or can they make up the time in regroup?

[[Madeira-Rally]]

I think the make up the time in reagroup

[[Madeira-Rally]]

Fernando Peres fasther than several Official S2000 drivers....

[J4MIE]

Any news on Hanninen's problem, has he damaged a wheel/suspension?

[Madeira]

So also 20m delay for rest of the day then? Or can they make up the time in regroup?
The rally is delayed 25 minutes and then they will try to make regroup in order to pass the delay for 15 minutes...

[noel157]

Hanninen spun at hit wall in last few corners of tarmac, lost wheel, tight road sections, stage delayed by 20 mins. Hanninen one more stage to do before service…

Still no result for SS4 :confused:

[Wim_Impreza]

Maurin is a real gentlemen-driver too it seems. Good that Peres is driving so well.

[Tom206wrc]

Basso has time in SS4 but not Hänninen :(

[noel157]

Don't worry Tom.

SS4 now live, Basso has finished.

[Tom206wrc]

Rautenbach only 0.1s slower than Basso :p :

[noel157]

Did Hanninen make it to the start of SS4? Or just delayed (and penalties)?

[Mirek]

SMS from Pluto: Juho without right rear wheel. Was already passed by two cars in the middle of the stage...

[noel157]

]SMS from Pluto: Juho without right rear wheel. Was already passed by two cars in the middle of the stage...

Thanks Mirek, so trying to do SS4 and get to service? How strict are the local police if he's on 3 wheels I wonder?

[Tom206wrc]

Magalhaes not a lot faster than Basso/Rautenback :confused:

[RS]

It seems Hanninen has been to the 'Jari-Matti Latvala school of rally driving' over the winter. 2 events, 2 accidents :(

[Fiat-131-Abarth]

It seems Hanninen has been to the 'Jari-Matti Latvala school of rally driving' over the winter. 2 events, 2 accidents :(

For Skoda it would have been a better choice to take Aigner as second driver. He´s almost as fast as Hänninen, but he doesn´t make so many mistakes.

[Mirek]

Last year Juho won 5x more stages than Aigner and had no driver-caused retirement while Aigner crashed at least in Finland.

[Wim_Impreza]

It seems Hanninen has been to the 'Jari-Matti Latvala school of rally driving' over the winter. 2 events, 2 accidents :(

If you are completely right, than you must say 3 events and 1 finished (Valašská Rally). In IRC it is indeed a bad start of the year for him.

[Moriarty]

Impressive time for Meeke!

Aigner had in the past years much more accidents than Juho.

[Tom206wrc]

Looks like almost all driver except Meeke and Vouilloz have been a little bit slowed down be Hänninen :confused:

[Tom206wrc]

10 minutes lost by Hänninen on that SS4 :(

[J4MIE]

Hanninen still doesn't have a time on SS4, is he still going (slowly) or has he had to stop?

[Mirek]

11 minutes for Juho, no reason to continue :(

[J4MIE]

Ah, he has just appeared, has lost 11 minutes :(

Still, if he can get it fixed in service will be faster than super rallying...

[Mirek]

There is no superally in IRC.

[J4MIE]

]There is no superally in IRC.

Ah so this is proper rallying!!

My mistake :crazy:

[RS]

Hanninen should carry on anyway for testing purposes and so he can show us how quickly he can go :)

[Mirek]

Fernando Peres again great time :)

[Mirek]

Sousa very slow...

[Tom206wrc]

SS5 will be in time or late ???? :confused:

[Mirek]

SMS from Pluto: Juho's car is repaired with no penalty.

[Tom206wrc]

SS5 is about to start now or minutes late ??? :confused:

[noel157]

Meeke had a problem on SS4 near the end of the stage:

http://blog.krismeeke.com/2009/05/bit-of-luck/

[bluuford]

Well is it allowed in IRC to travel on road section with three wheels? Probably yes, I think that it is not allowed in FIA events since Loeb distributed most of the rear part of his Citroen on the road section in Greece a few years ago :-)

[Tom206wrc]

Basso finished SS5...no Hänninen again :confused:

[Tom206wrc]

4 minutes late out of service for Hänninen(40s penalty) :confused:

[Tom206wrc]

Hänninen best time, he was 3rd on raod for SS5 ;)

[Wim_Impreza]

Basso finished SS5...no Hänninen again :confused:

Hänninen is 9,2 seconds faster than Basso in SS5!

[[Madeira-Rally]]

Magalhães had a puncture...

[Tom206wrc]

Magalhaes lost 26s :s



Edit: OK puncture :mark:

[Mirek]

Moura is flying now :)

[[Madeira-Rally]]

Moura solved the problems with the lancer.. and look at his time... only 1,2 slower than Hanninnen.. fantastic.

[J4MIE]

Hanninen back on the pace :D

[Rallye_106]

Nice time by Loix.

[Tom206wrc]

Meeke fastest again hurrah :bounce:

[chris16valve]

[Wim_Impreza]

Go Jan. :) No Chris, Jan is 0.1 faster.

[Mirek]

Kopecký first through by 0,1 :)

Skoda looks like to be highly competitive. :-)

[Madeira]

So how much are the stages delayed in the end?

10 minutes!

[[Madeira-Rally]]

another bad time for Magalhães..

Peugeot portugal use to fail in every big races :(

[Tom206wrc]

Magalhaes lost again 44s on the short SS6 :eek:

[Mirek]

Magalhaes again big troubles.

[Rallye_106]

Moura in problems too?

[Tom206wrc]

Why they are so long to give us Meeke time ??? :s

[Madeira]

No problems for Meeke,Vouilloz and Kopecky. Loix set the fastest time until now

[[Madeira-Rally]]

puncture for Kopecky

[Madeira]

Bruno had transmission troubles

[Tom206wrc]

what a time for kris :eek:

[Mirek]

Kopecký again faster than Nico Vouilloz. They are now separated by just 14 seconds :)

Alen doesn't seem to struggle with gearbox. His time is good.

[Madeira]

Not bad for Alen, but Abarth will try to change the gearbox...
