Peugeot 207

[Gordini]

Is the Peugeot 207 S2000 being upgraded this year, to take back the leading position from Skoda ?

[PLuto]

Of course.

[White Sauron]

Don't know what topic else to use, so chose this as the most appropriate. Does someobody know where to find the new (!) Peugeot Sport logo in curves (vector form)? I need to make stickers. Thanks in advance for giving a link or sending a file to me!

[Tom206wrc]

Very good news !!!! Peugeot announced in a press release today that the current 207 will receive another big evolution in 2012(especially engine) :D
It's not because the 208 R4T is in developpment that the current model will be let down ;)

By the way, almost 100 examples have been sold since the debut of the car...most of them in Abarth's homeland me guesses :eek:

[Sulland]

But was not the development and homologation on all S2000 NA cars frozen in the end of 2010 or mid 2011?

[RICARDO75]

The current S2000 NA can be developed.
But if it is to homologate a new model or new car (like Mini) it has to be with the new 1600T engine.

[Sulland]

The Evo looks quick, hopefully it can give the Fabia some competition.

Any comments from the testdriver?

Maybe Sarrazin and Bouffier will drive it in Monte-Carlo(SWRC) ;)

[alleskids]

Will Sarazin and Boufier wil be SWRC wild cards in Monte Carlo? Only Local citizen are allowed, so only MC drivers, unless the rally is counting as French or Sarrazin and Bouffier are MC citizen?

[Mirek]

French were always allowed for wildcards in RMC if I remember right.

[Sulland]

Will the debut for the evo be in Monte, or later?

[mousti]

Monte for sure, otherwise Bouffier wouldn't have tested it already some weeks ago.

[Bartek]

From what i know Solowow bought new 207 spec 2012....

[Sulland]

Is he tired of Ford?

[PLuto]

From what i know Solowow bought new 207 spec 2012....

New spec of Peugeot is not available now...

[Bartek]

Ok, but is possible to buy it now? I know it from men who have good news about Solowow. Solowow prefer 207, he said that 207 is better for his driving style.

[PLuto]

I know that he was thinking about it. But new spec wont be available in next few weeks for use. But for sure you can pre-buy it.

[Bartek]

Ok, thank you PLuto for this information :)

[Sulland]

What series is Solowow planning on doing in 2012?

[Bartek]

Everything is depend how much time he will have. He planned Polish Championship and one series in Europe (Rumors about IRC but i think it will be ERC).

[Sulland]

So he could switch later in season then?

[Tom206wrc]

According to AutoHebdo website, Marc van Dalen from Kronos is talking to several drivers for IRC program with 2012 spec 207...any ideas about the names :confused:

[Andre Oliveira]

I think Bruno Magalhães is one of them.

According to last rumours I heard... Vouilloz and Meeke

[Gordini]

Will be good if Meeke, after mini.

[RS]

It would also be great to see Vouilloz back, he did an excellent performance on Monte last year once he was "warmed up"

[noel157]

]According to last rumours I heard... Vouilloz and Meeke

Only rumours at present, at least with regard to Meeke.

[Sulland]

If Bouffier in the new evo are clearly faster than the Fabias, it will be interesting to see if that does something with the orderbooks of the 207 again.

[Tom206wrc]

Would be splendid a return of Vouilloz at Peugeot :bounce:

[mousti]

If Bouffier in the new evo are clearly faster than the Fabias, it will be interesting to see if that does something with the orderbooks of the 207 again.
When will that be? Bouffier's Peugeot is not PHSport-PSA one but from Romo so I don't think it's the new Evo from Peugeot.

[Sulland]

Is it possible to upgrade an older car to an Evo?

[pucky54]

When will that be? Bouffier's Peugeot is not PHSport-PSA one but from Romo so I don't think it's the new Evo from Peugeot.

It isn't the new Evo. We have to wait...

[Barreis]

100th sold recently.

[Gordini]

Pity no evo in monte c. would be good pr for new evo!

[Tom206wrc]

Pfiew...Peugeot-Sport stopping Endurance racing from now on doesn't imply competition-client programmes , so 207 S2000 evo12 as its replacement(208 R4T)can go on :)

[Sulland]

100th sold recently.

Who bought number 100?

[Mirek]

It was the car Arzeno crashed in RMC I think.

[Bartek]

The 207 S2000 Evolution+ now figures in the Peugeot Sport catalogue at the same price as the former version. Indeed, it is the only version currently available and its specification includes the very latest developments:
- wide tracks and bodywork kit
- 3B-spec engine

So, when we can see first new 207?

There are rumors about Sołowow and ERC or few starts in WRC. I know also that he waiting for new spec but i'm not sure in 100%

[A FONDO]

dont believe it, last year he tried a 207 before... maybe Barum and felt it so bad that he urgently returned to the fiesta :D

[Mirek]

dont believe it, last year he tried a 207 before... maybe Barum and felt it so bad that he urgently returned to the fiesta :D

No, if I remember right it was exactly opposite. It was too much in a hurry and he would have no test before the event and therefore stayed with his known car.

[Bartek]

dont believe it, last year he tried a 207 before... maybe Barum and felt it so bad that he urgently returned to the fiesta :D

So, why he sold his Fiesta? :) I heard that he wasn't so happy from his Fiesta S2000 that he tried for example RRC car but on the other hand he have very good relationship with M-Sport...

[A FONDO]

because he is a slobber billionaire

[Mirek]

because he is a slobber billionaire

Is posting such idiotic garbage good for Your ego?

[A FONDO]

Then how do you call changing 2-3 cars every year and still be unhappy?

[Tom206wrc]

100th sold recently.


+ 6 others in order last month ;)

[PLuto]

Then how do you call changing 2-3 cars every year and still be unhappy?

You absolutely dont know what you are talking. Michal was using Fiesta S2000 for last two years. In 2011 he tried RRC on one event in Poland, because M-Sport wanted to offer it to him (and he wanted to test it). Peugeot story on Barum - he received offer from Peugeot to start with it, so why not accept it? But car wasnt well prepared, so he started with his usual car...

[Sulland]

because he is a slobber billionaire

What is wrong with using your own money to buy what you want ? If I was a billionaire I would probably buy what I wanted when I wanted !!

[A FONDO]

If I become a billionaire, I will choose one car, hire the best engineers and mechanics, subscribe for the latest upgrades and learn it, train with it and compete with it until I master it. Solowow doesn't deserve more respect than Nobre, or R. Kuipers for example.

This would be a plan if you're young and want to build a career. I think Solowow just does this for fun and doesnt really care about the results, and dosen't care either about what we post in the forum.

[A FONDO]

Exactly. I dont know why others advocate him so ardently.

[PLuto]

Michal made a big progress in last years. Much bigger than Wilson... (and I am not talking about Nobre or Van Merksteijn).

[Juha_Koo]

Michal made a big progress in last years. Much bigger than Wilson... (and I am not talking about Nobre or Van Merksteijn).

I agree. Nowdays watching his onboards it's clearly visible that he isn't a total "tourist" anymore. I can totally call it rallying. :) Slowson's gabble is total nonsense. What god damn "respect" and deserving it, huh? I respect all competitors (maybe not because of their speed, but there are n+1 other factors too...) and I really don't like this new atmosphere of hate and polarization here on the forum. Every thread the same thing - someone's trolling/hating/talking BS/making fun of someone.

[mousti]

Solowow survived last year a difficult moisty Ypres! Finished Third excluding Snijers and Bouffer from results. He drove here now 4-5 times I think and u see it he's adapting to it, got also a good co driver. Eventhough he's a gentlemen driver but he learns from his experiences.

[A FONDO]

Different people - different opinions. I was positive about him in the years with Punto and Peugeot. But after that he became a slobber tourist.

[Mirek]

He is 50 years old now. What do You want from him? Your comments are silly.

[A FONDO]

Tell me again who is silly, I've never directly offended someone when I disagree with him and cant argue in other way.

[Mirek]

Tell me again who is silly, I've never directly offended someone when I disagree with him and cant argue in other way.

No, You offend drivers instead. It's not better really.

[liposh]

Anyway it would be very nice if all these "gentleman milionaire rally drivers" (Solowow, Llovera)will find one young promising rally driver and they will teach them and financially support them like father and son or master and student...just a nice dream :D ...I think I have seen "Karate Kid movie" too many times :D

[A FONDO]

one little appendix - he should be really promising talent, not just relative cousin/nephew/son of a friend etc :D

[Fast Eddie WRC]

The Sainteloc IRC Junior Team will include Craig Breen and his team mate Mathieu Arzeno both driving full spec Peugeot 207, EVO 12 for 4 IRC asphalt events.

[mousti]

Same program I guess?

Evo 12 that's what I wanted!

[Tom206wrc]

First outing of the evo12 207 S2000 should be next week in France(rallye du Touquet french tarmac championship)with Robert, Loix, Léandri and Gal at the wheels ;)

[mousti]

2c got the evolution too already?

[Tom206wrc]

So Gal, Robert and Léandri had evo12s at Touquet this week-end !!!

But in the same time looks like Loix had an evo11 and managed to pass Robert for the first S2000 position...so what to think :confused:

[Coach 2]

...so what to think :confused:

Although there are new models, the old will not stop working. And it's still like that, there are drivers who win, not just cars.

[Tom206wrc]

Big battle of evo12 207s in Italy this coming week-end(Rally il Ciocco)with Andreucci, Gamba and Michelini :cool:

Are the danish 207s also evo12(Wikinger Rally this week-end) :confused:
And what about Pavel Valousek(Valasska Rally) :confused:

[mousti]

Valda's is a Evo 12 from Tagai, u could see that on the video of the test, that he had wider bodykit.

And about Loix, I think he was just the faster pilot there.

[Mirek]

See Czech thread, Tom.


Valda's is a Evo 12 from Tagai, u could see that on the video of the test, that he had wider bodykit.

During the test it was not full Evo 12. Suspension was 2011 spec. They shall have all new parts today but I'm not sure they really have them.

[Tom206wrc]

Thanks Mirek ;)

[Sulland]

Has the evo 12 showed its real potential yet ?

[Tom206wrc]

Has the evo 12 showed its real potential yet ?

Except at 1000 Miglia, not real confrontation top driver in 207 evo12 vs top driver in Skoda Fabia yet :mark:

[Mathias]

Is the 2012 update mandatory or optional?

[mousti]

Optional I thought?

[PLuto]

Evo 12 is optional till the date when it will be mandatory (1 year after homologation)

[Mirek]

Evo 12 is optional till the date when it will be mandatory (1 year after homologation)

Not fully. Some parts are erratum, some are VO and those are not mandatory.

[Mathias]

Anywhere to read the homologation documents?

[Sulland]

What does it mean in practical terms that Peugeot Sport has stopped support for all 207 models?

no new parts homologated or what?

[Mirek]

I don't know if they still develop something (I doubt so) but what I meant in that other topic is that Peugeot Sport stopped support to any 207-related activities. That means while two years a go there were plenty of Peugeot Sport/importer backed teams, now they are none. They do support only 208 R2 now and later they will support 208 R5.

[Sulland]

Happy!
