What are the plans of Laszlo Vizin?
Read something about a Honda R3 in the IRC...

]Lico Lavantall Rally entry list including Manfred Stohl, Austrian and Slovenian top drivers: http://www2.lico-rallye.at/2009/nennliste.html

No Humar :(

I spoke with Humar and he said to me that they were late by sending the entry form to the organisators. Reason: late decision of the Target team. So let's hope they will let him drive with his C2 R2 Max ... :s hock:

true, but not specified which ones, i'd say he prefers tarmac: Ypres, Barum, San Remo...

Petrič also sent a late entry...

[urabus-denoS2000]

Good for the IRC 2WD cup,one more fast driver,hope this starts a trend to popularize this championship!

What are his plans for the Hungarian championship?

[urabus-denoS2000]

Petrič also sent a late entry...

I thought Petrič will be in Rally Alba for the TRA C2 Trophy....

[Wim_Impreza]

Timothy Van Parijs will drive a Ford Focus WRC'05 in the TAC Rally, first rally of the Belgian championship in April.

[urabus-denoS2000]

I'm afraid more bad news for Lavanttal

Slovenian champion Tomaž Kaučič won't drive this rally because of some problems with the team that owns the car and it is a question if he will even defend his championship :(

[PLuto]

I dont know if it was written here, but Laurent Luyet will start in swiss championship with Grande Punto S2000 from MRT.

[atsiotras79]

On weekend 27-28 March, 2nd round of Greek Rally Championship, Olympiako Rally, and on the entrylist there is the Corsa S2000 of Kaltsounis. Let's hope it starts this time.

Apart from that, Vovos, Papajim, and Kirkos Jnr will have another nice fight!

Too bad Hatzitsopanis will not participate this year in all rounds of the championship.

[Wim_Impreza]

[Mirek]

Very bad entry compared to last year on Tank-S rally :(

I understand why there's no Van Eldik, but how about Wevers, Kuipers's family, De Vinkel, Merksteijn's, Pipers, Abbring or Weijs? They don't start in national championship at all?

[Wim_Impreza]

Last year, the Tank S Rally was a round for the 'Euro Rally Challenge' and this year not. Mark van Eldik is still recovering of his huge crash in Hellendoorn Rally last year and he thinks that Hellendoorn Rally in September will be his first rally of the year. Off course the economic crisis is there too, but the other reason why the entry list isn't good is that mainly all the top drivers (Wevers, René Kuipers and Dennis Kuipers, de Winkel, Piepers, van Merksteijn jun. and sr.), expect Jasper van den Heuvel, will do the 'Euro Rally Challenge' this year.

Kevin Abbring and Hans Weijs jun. do the JWRC. They will probably compete in 1 or 2 rallies in the Netherlands. The Van Merksteijn's do WRC Portugal and Finland, Euro Rally Challenge and some of the bigger national events. Harry Kleinjan won't do a rally this year, probably one or two rallysprints with his old Golf II. :(

The second rally for the Dutch championship, Sezoensrally in Belgium at the end of May, will be a very big event as it counts for the 'Euro Rally Challenge', Belgian Championship and this year the Dutch championship.

[Mirek]

Thank You ;) Is there any news about Marcel Piepers? He was fast last year all season...

[Wim_Impreza]

Marcel Piepers drove two weeks ago the 'Rallye Hannut' in Belgium. He will again be in his Honda Civic Type-R R3 this season. On his site http://www.piepersrallysport.nl/, there is mention that they will annouce their calendar soon. At this moment, they will drive the 'Euro Rally Challenge' and the 'Account Software Rallysprint' on 22 August.

[Tom206wrc]

After six stages of Rallye de la Côte fleurie(Normandie), Xavier Lemonnier leading with 52s gap...Is he already used to his new 207 S2000(ex-Ojeda)for the first outing with it ???? ;)

[Mirek]

It looks like Slovak Peter Gavlák will start on Rally Saturnus in Slovenia.

[urabus-denoS2000]

]Thank You ;) Is there any news about Marcel Piepers? He was fast last year all season...
I spoke with the codriver of Piepers and they would like to drive some international rallys and a couple of Dutch rallys. Just because there aren't many teams left to fight with in the Netherlands.

Last weekend it was the TankS Rally, you can see a movie on my site with a lot of Evo 10's, two Impreza WRC's, three 350Z's and some other great cars.

That's a very good news! :bounce:
Unfortunatly now is official that Slovenian champion Tomaž Kaučič will not strat in Lavanttal. He may be doing only a few rallies, maybe Saturnus, Maribor and some IRC events ... in a S2000 car! Let's wait and see. :eek:

[Ucci]

No surprise in rally Ronde del Grifo in Italy-a win for Franco Cunico ( a close one, yust for 0,3 sec) in front of Paolo Porro, third was Massimo Gasparotto. Also very impressive is a look of their cars-all are top-spec Focus WRC (06 and 07)!!

It's the second win of an S2000 in France(last year Maurin won an event in gravel with a Grande Punto) ;)

Perhaps not the last victory of such cars , if Alexandre Bengué drives a 207 too in french championship(latest rumour) :D

[Tom206wrc]

This coming week-end is also the first round of spanish tarmac chamionship(Vila Joiosa) with a fantastic duel between Ojeda(Subaru N14), Vallejo and Fuster(both driving Porsche GT) :)

And also the 2nd round of the Madeira championship(Porto Santo Line)with a duel between Camacho, Nunes(both in 207 S2000s)and Sà(Mitsu Evo10 - if no more technical problem) ;)

First round of swiss championship in France(Pays du Gier)with duel between Burri(Grande Punto S2000), Lavio, von Dach(both in 207 S2000s) and Gonon(Subaru N12)...but for the overall rally victory, french drivers Romeyer and Grohens will have the best weapons(206 wrc)...

Yes, according to http://www.autoklub.pl/23893,news.html Hofbauer Motorsport supported by Volkswagen Motorsport has built a rally version of VW Scirocco TDI. What can this friver achieve with this car?

[Sonner]

A news from Turkey;
2007 and 2008 Turkish Hillclimb Category 4 Champion Renault Maxi Megane driver Cem Acar is to do the Turkish Rally Championship onboard a Fiat Grande Punto S2000. It will be his first outing after a long time. He became '98 and '99 Russian Rally Champion with a Lancia Delta. The car will be prepared and run by ST Racing. The Grande Punto was used by Volkan Işık in several ERC rallies.

[Tom206wrc]

Young and promising fast Jean-Sebastien Vigion will run the entire french tarmac championship(8 rounds)in a 207 S2000 under the Yacco livery ;)

He already used that car at the 2008 rallye du Var where he finished at an outstanding 2nd position overall :)
He should be favourite for the trophée BFGoodrich but also for the championship(unless Alexandre Bengué runs it on S2000 or WRC)...

Thanks for the news. Good luck to his driver, but to be precise 1998 and 1999 Russian Rally Champion was Sergey Uspensky and not Cem Acar.

What are Volkan Isik's plans for this year?

[Ucci]

Few Fotos from test session in Italy: Felice Re and Roberto Botta, both on Xsara's WRC.
Does anbody know, where are cars comming from? Last year Re's Xsara is owned now by Peter Solberg Team-I assume so....

http://www.myrally.it/2009/Test.htm

[Mirek]

Re had two Xsaras. T412 should be still his I think...

[Karbonyl]

I think the info about Re's car going to Norway is completely wrong, both Felice's Xsaras are currently at Tam Auto.

[Tom206wrc]

Are there any photos of the two 207 S2000 from the Peugeot Dealer Team Denmark yet? K.-A. & C. Jensen should drive them this season

Yazici will compete on Italy tarmac championship this season backed by Lassa Racing Tyres. And Burcu Çetinkaya will compete on the first rally of the same serie but it's just a one-off thing. And Palio Super 1600 driver Burak Çukurova, as i heard, will contest the Italy Clio Trophy.

Could you reccomend some good spectator places for Lavanttal (saturday)?

I was there once in 2007 and I was at Rundkurs Eitweg-Mosern (not very attractive stage in my opinion)...

[AlfaWRC]

Could you reccomend some good spectator places for Lavanttal (saturday)?

I was there once in 2007 and I was at Rundkurs Eitweg-Mosern (not very attractive stage in my opinion)...

Just let me recommend the following combination as it is easy to reach and without a lot of stress to accomplisch

SS 8 & 10 - The last action point directly before the finish line - Great place
http://www2.bprallye.at/2009/SP/prebl.html

SS 11 & 13 - This is a spectacular stage from my point of view. Maybe you were on the wrong place. There are a lot of good places and some gravel sections about two km from the start.
http://www2.bprallye.at/2009/SP/eitweg.html

[morganmilan]

Is there any news about Krum Donchev or any other bulgarian drivers to run international programs in 2009? I heard something about doing again ERC with a s2000...is that right? :confused:

Also the hairpins after the start of Stage 7/9 "Hammer-Prebl" are good to watch: A video from there: http://www2.bprallye.at/2008/videos/3/5.mpg

I also think that Stage 11 / 13 Eitweg is very nice at the the gravel part near the Soccer field: http://www2.bprallye.at/2009/SP/eitweg2.mpg

Yes, I saw him in Poland last year (http://www.rallyonline.pl/ft.php?idg=3180&pg_[go]=19). Maybe he doesn't like gravel or something, but believe me he was slow.

[urabus-denoS2000]

Very strong performance by Ballinari in his Clio, beating all S2000 cars and leading the rally after first stage. I cannot see any times of second stage this night tough, anybody knows what is going on? :confused:

[tolis]

Peter Stephenson(MG S2000) won't start in Bulldog rally.

The S2000s are back after SS2(Lavio in front of Burri for almost nothing) :p :

[wwbroe]

Peter Stephenson(MG S2000) won't start in Bulldog rally.

What is the reason, mechanical or financial? :(

[wwbroe]

The S2000s are back after SS2(Lavio in front of Burri for almost nothing) :p :

Yes Tom, but still Ballinari is doing great, he is still in third place overall. What kind of Clio is he driving? ;)

[wwbroe]

Not good start of Waldherr on second day of Lavanttal Rallye in Austria, he is loosing almost 10 sec on 9,5 kms on Baumschlager, who makes best time. Danzinger in his 2WD car aquals Waldherr's time on this stage. ;)

[wwbroe]

And another best time for Baumschlager on stage two of today, but he is one minute behind second placed man Gassner Jr., so not much to gain or to loose.

[wwbroe]

Also best time of Baumschlager on stage 3 of the day, that makes it three in a row now. ;)

[wwbroe]

In Rallye Pays de Gier in France there is something happened on stage two of the day? S2000 drivers Burri and Lavio are loosing a lot. It is now again Ballinari that has taken the lead in his Clio. ;)

Tom, do you have any info?

[wwbroe]

And one more besttime for Baumschlager on today's fourth stage of Lavanttal Rallye in Austria. Go Skoda go. ;) But Waldherr is cruising to victory, now leading the rally with 20" in front of Gassner Jr. :up: :up: :up:

No info but it looks like weather has become more crappy than ever... :rolleyes:

[wwbroe]

No info but it looks like weather has become more crappy than ever... :rolleyes:

And Ballinari in his Clio is faster then 4WD S2000? Very strange in bad weather conditions. :confused:

I have confirmation of rain on stages... :mark:

If you don't pick up the right tyres, even in a 4wd car your times will be poor you know wwbroe... :s

[Jarek Z]

Not good start of Waldherr on second day of Lavanttal Rallye in Austria, he is loosing almost 10 sec on 9,5 kms on Baumschlager, who makes best time.

I guess Waldherr is now only cruising to victory. With just two stages to go he has over 30-second advantage over Gassner jr. The celebrations at Rene Georges Rally Team are about to begin! ;)

[Tom206wrc]

After 5 stages of Rali Porto Santo Line(Madeira)no surprise in front, Alexandre Camacho is leading with 15s advantage over Miguel Nunes ;)

But battle for 3rd is disputed between Sousa(Samir), Freitas and Sà with still two "long" stages to go :)

[wwbroe]

Waldherr is only one stage away from victory in Lavanttal Rallye in Austria. Let's hope he can keep it up so that RGRS can finally have another victory with Polo. ;)

[tolis]

Waldherr finally won!!!!!
Congratulations to RGRS!!!

[Tom206wrc]

At Rali Porto Santo Line new victory for Alex Camacho ahead of Miguel Nunes...Samir Sousa finally resists to Filipe Freitas and Vitor Sà, to offer Peugeot a 1-2-3 ;)

[Ucci]

Congratulations again for A.Waldherr !! He drove tacticly, did not push after technichal troubles on Baumschlager's Fabia.....Very strong result also for Gassner jun., he is faster as his father, again !!!
For Slowenian championship first win for Jani Trček after almost ten years !!! But he was lucky, that Peljhan with evo9 and Humar with C2 R2 Max retired!! Specialy Humar was a positive surprise, he was in a tight battle for a win in Slowenian champ., but engine troubles were a reason for retairemend !

[Tom206wrc]

Victory for Miguel Fuster who was discovering the Porsche GT ar Rallye Vila Joiosa, first spanish championship round :)

Xavi Pons finished 2nd ahead of another Porsche driver Manuel Avino...

Retirement for Sergio Vallejo on SS2(mechanical reason)and big penalty time for Enrique Garcia Ojeda who finished 4th overall :(

Good pace from the Clio R3 drivers, Francisco Cima finishing first 2wd in front of Miguel Arias and Juan Perez... ;)

[urabus-denoS2000]

Alex Humar (again) retires after a stunning performance :(

[tolis]

After the first 3 stages of Olympiako rally, second round of Greek rally championship, Ioannis Papadimitriou is in the lead. Second is Leonidas Kyrkos(EVO 9)(+40.57) and third Nioras(Impreza N12)(+1:12.43).

[AndyRAC]

Wasn't a bad event - however, no S2000's - apart from 1 old MG S2000. Which I think is sad. Not only that - for an International to only last one day, not sure about that. How many other countries have International events over just 1 day.

[katxal]

Just arrived from Alicante (2900 Km in 3 days hehe). Well not a very good rallye. New Gr.N + are too young and almost all had problems. Vallejo broke his porsche´s engine and ojeda had transmission problems...they replaced his gearbox and clutch on the first service...Also Vinyes had a heavy off road before losing a wheel on a fast zone (5th or 6th gear).Pons had injection problems and Aviño a puncture on the first stage of the section doing 2 stages with a little wheel.(problems of space in GT´s). Burgo broke the center differential.So...fuster was alone...
Fuster won but...in my opinion he´s not fast enough yet...won cause he didnt have any kind of problem...

here i post some pics...

Yes he was speeding in a village, he was doing 105 km/h where the speedlimit is 50 km/h, so he lost his driving license immediately. Apparently it will be Wim Soenens himself who will drive the Subaru WRC in TAC rallye. :(
Rather stupid thing to do with the experience he has, it is known for years that police is controlling speed, especially during rally. It is pitty, but it is also his own fault, so he has to live with it. :(

]Is Pieter Tsjoen out?

I don't think so Mirek, but he hasn't got a stagetime on stage 5, but on stage 6 he has one :confused:
The resultsite is really a mess and very slow, they are about three hours behind. :(
I do think Tsjoen had problem on stage 5 and i think Lietaer is now in the lead, as he overtook Melissa. ;)

[Wim_Impreza]

Each year it is the same in TAC Rally, they are so slow and have incorrect times too. They can't learn from the past years when it was also incredible bad.

[wwbroe]

Apparently Tsjoen went off on stage 5 and lost a lot of time, he had to be pushed back on track by spectators. After stage 6 he is in 37th position overall at 15 minutes off the leader Paul Lietaer. :(

[wwbroe]

After eight stages, so halfway trough the rally:

1. Lietaer 48'41"4
2. Debackere at 15"0
3. Colsoul at 1'58"3
4. Lefevere at 2'06"2
5. Soenens at 2'23"2

[Mirek]

What happened to Alexandre Romain?

[Wim_Impreza]

Romain retired with a mechanical problem in SS6 and Timothy Van Parijs in SS7. Tsjoen withdraw from the rally.

[Wim_Impreza]

Reason of retirement Romain: gearbox.

[wwbroe]

Final results for TAC rally:

1. Lietaer
2. Debackere at 9"1
3. Lefevere at 3'54"0
4. Vermeirsch at 4'58"9
5. Colsoul at 5'57"1
6. Soenens at 6'14"7

[Mirek]

Reason of retirement Romain: gearbox.

I still think that using gr.A restrictor for gr.N car (which is not homologated in gr.A) is not good way because of reliability...

That is my opinion too. Bob Colsoul had also some problems today. About 2 weeks, it is the 'Rallye de Wallonie' and then we will see again Romain (3rd last year there), Stéphane Lhonnay (4th last year) and probably Bob Colsoul.

Good news for Tom, Turan Frigyes switches back to last year's whale from Bozian! It seems that Profiko won't find any more customer in Hungary, almost every top pilot drove their cars with less and less success...

The new Hungarian GrA Evo 7 is for Bereš senior?

[Mirek]

I think that Béreš senior is going to drive Audi Quattro later in the season.

He used it on a rally

http://www.rallysport.hu/info/2009/04/images/Korda_RTE_Ozd.jpg

[Mirek]

I think that both Béreš sr. and jr. made only prolog in Ozd to make show for spectators. They weren't competing if I'm not wrong ;)

[urabus-denoS2000]

Bereš jr. was competing?
In what?

[Mirek]

Neither junior nor senior were competing in my opinion, they just made show on prolog. I don't know in which car...

[urabus-denoS2000]

Thanks ;)

This car doesn't look like from Profiko, that one should have plate PMV 22-49. This should be car from Tagai Racing Technology.

http://www.duen.hu/kepek/foto/090402_eger/DuEn_Eger2009_1051.jpg

The car belongs to Turán (bought form Tagai Racing Team), but it was prepared and serviced by Profiko in Eger.
It's true, that Juka has good cars, Turi had almost no mechanical problems during the season with them, only a massive crash at the end :(

[teufel]

]Neither junior nor senior were competing in my opinion, they just made show on prolog. I don't know in which car...

They (Béres jr. and a hungarian codriver) made show on the superspecial in a Lada VFTS, after then they competed with an group A Evo7 and won every SS.
The car has arrived that week from Spain and Korda wanted to make some advertising for it, so he chose a spectacular driver to show the car ;)

Francois Duval will drive a full spec Toyota Corolla WRC from Wevers Sport in the Rally Wallonie next week in Belgium.

I can say that after a peak in 2007 in 2009,only 2 years later,our championship is clinically dead....

It can be saved,but with some SERIOUS reorganization!

More information about ORC Čazma Rally including final results: http://www.akdelta.hr/orc-cazma09/results.htm

I must say 16 teams was even less than last year. :( 10 teams at the finish and all score points. As you said, your national championship is unfortunately almost dead. In the sprint there were only 5 teams, than they can better cancel this I think...

I have positive words about the results and the archives that AK Delta made. That is much better than for the most national championships.

Man, unfortunately, You don't know the real situation.. HAKS (our FIA organisation) is totally bad to the drivers.. Except recesion in economy that is the MAIN reason why nobody is driving. They (HAKS) don't have any plans for future and don't work on TV promotions.. Drivers are very pissed on them.. I'm member of AK Delta and I can tell You that they don't care about the drivers.. Main men from there think drivers are there 'cos of them and not reverse mode.. I hope they will go in one year.. But for organisation of Croatia Rally they are BIG proffesionals and that's only GOOD THING..

[Wim_Impreza]

Thank you for explanation, Barreis.

[urabus-denoS2000]

Wim,nice to see you are interested,but this isn'tthe national championship this is an "amateur" rally (although beter organized than the national championship).

What makes me mad the most is that in 2007 we had a standard of 20 N4 cars and 60 alltogether which was very nice and now Rally Novi Vinodolski (supposed to be driven next weekend,1st round of the national championship) is cancelled because of 9 entries alltogether

[Ciko]

By the way, there's Janika in the 207 S2000 TRT also ;)
Janika will hire the 207 from Grifone, not TRT.

[quote="urabus-denoS2000"]Wim,nice to see you are interested,but this isn'tthe national championship this is an "amateur" rally (although beter organized than the national championship).

Yeah, not registered on FIA (HAKS) calendar.. Private like Open Rally Championship in Holland which I contacted about this Čazma rally.. :)

I knew it counts 'only' for the Open Rally Challenge. ;) Hopefully there will be not more cancelled events and hopefully in the future better entry lists in Croatia. It is nice that you and Barries keep us informed about rallies in Croatia.

I know TV and press is very important for rally. I give you an example:
In 2004, 2005 and 2006 we had no TV coverage and almost no press for Belgium Championship and there was in most of the events only 1 or 2 WRC. Since end 2007, begin 2008 we have a review of each rally on Belgian TV very fast after the finish and there were 7 WRC's in TAC Rally one week ago (a record for that rally) and in Rallye de Wallonie next week we have also 7 WRC's.

[urabus-denoS2000]

Last year ORC had an 1 HOUR (!!!!) programme after every rally.It wasn't on national television but still a popular television.It had a very good media coverage and then it seemed the drivers failed (drivers who consider themselves "professionals" so ORC is "below their ranking" ) because the entry list was still very poor.

The collaps of rallying is a combination of drivers guilt (most of the drivers complain all the time about having no sponsors but no one is ready to give something to the sponsors.like some presentations,promo drives...luckily there are still true drivers who drive because they love rallying like our friend Barreis :D ) ,but mostly because of the very bad HAKS organization.


Ivan Čibej and Šiniša Crnojević (with Šebalj the fastest drivers) made a very i good presentation in HAKS on how to get out of the crisis but I am afraid that the "big heads" in HAKS did not listen to it very much...
