[IT] Two whales in Italy in 2007 ???

[Tom206wrc]

Hi,


I read rumours and news since a long time on italian forum of Rallylink, and recently I've read the news(apparently) that Gimondi will drive a 307 WRC on IRC championship(International Rally Challenge, not the IRC welcoming the S2000 cars of course) and the rumour that Marco Silva would also change his 206 wrc for a 307 on TRA championship(Trofeo Rally Asfalto)... :eek:


Someone on this forum to confirm these news/rumours ??? :confused:

New rumour read in two different forums(presented as news, not rumour) !!!!

The GMA-racing(italian team) would have bought a whale too(from BSA ???) :eek:

The driver would be Mirko Virag(who already owns a 206 wrc)...

Interesting that would make three whales in Italy !!! :)

Italy, new sanctuary for the retired whales ??? :p :

Bozian had 6 cars + spare chassis.
They have sold one car, and they are delievering two of the cars back to Peugeot Sport. They have now, or will have, two cars + sparechassis. They will keep the car Kjær drove in Rally Norway. Since they re-registred some cars, I think that were the cars they bought.
New registration number: Chassis 2, 11 and 15 (Roux / Kjær).
Not re-registrated: Chassis 4 and 10.
Sparechassis has chassisnumber 17.

Lets say chassis 4 and 10 are back at Peugeot Sport. Bozian has proberly sold chassis 2 or 11. Chassis 2 was last time used by Stohl in New Zealand, and chassis 2 in Turkey when Henning Solberg got his first podium finish.

Maybe one of these car will end up in Italy?

Yep I also read Tam Auto would own one or even two whales... ;)

Perhaps the one(s) Gimondi would run IRC or/and Silva would run TRA...??? :)
