You are flying to istanbul this year? :)

[ChristianArp]

Why did Brian Madsen change of codriver :confused:

According to his own press release, Anja has had a retinal detachment a very short while ago, so she is not medically cleared to race.
New codriver is Henrik Vestergaard, who has driven a lot with Brian in the past, so it shouldn't be a problem pacewise for him.

And by the way, the rally will be spread geographically across quite a big area in the middle of Zealand, with the longer stages after the lunch halt.
Kenneth Madsen has been granted the 1. starting position by the ASN as the race is sponsored by Suzuki, and he races for the Suzuki-team (as do I coincidentally).

Hometown drivers: Kenneth Madsen, Kim Madsen, Brian Madsen - but several stages are much used, so most will know them well.

Maybe one interesting entry is Daniel Oliveira in Fiesta RRC, "Mundl" Baumschlager can fix his 9th Title with an 2nd place. Jan Cerny is also on the list, but i heard rumours he crashed his DS3 and will not start.

Btw it´s my home event, very challenging stages, mainly on tarmac, are waiting for the 82 crews :)

About Austrian Rally Championship-congratulations to Baumschlager for his x-th national crown, but this year it was much easyer for him as Harrach made mistakes. On the other hand this should be a serious warning to Harrach-if he wants to fight again next year for a national crown, he must change the car (S2000 is the only way to go). With his financial background this should be a piece of cake.....Not that he is not competetive in old evo9 R4 spec, but he must be constantly on the limit or even above it and as we (he) expirienced this leads often off the road....last year he was more lucky, this time not. And also there were some strong rumours that his evo9 was not legal and he was forced to take the illegal parts out of the car....Some comments from Austrian fans??
But I must also admit: yust watching him in action is a one hell of experience. The man drives like a hell....

[Mirek]

If I remember Harrachs car was completely disassembled last year after Waldviertel in Wien university and kept there for several weeks without finding anything illegal.

But of course his car, fuel anything could have been illegal in some other events. I actually don't believe there are many completely legal Evos in the world.

Short story about the rally:

It is the slowest and the roughest rally in Estonian Championship. Most of the roads are very narrow, sometimes many holes and bumps and some rocks as well. This year 35 % of the rally was held in asphalt. Howevere, only gravel tires were allowed. Weather was mostly dry but very cold (it was around +8..+9 during the night and +15..+16 during the day), just a few raindrops on the first day and some light rain overnight+next morning.

Story of the rally:

1. Gross was leading the rally until the second last stage. retired with engine problems.
2. Kruuda was close behind him. He retired on the same stage. Hit a rock and damaged wheel and some suspension components
Damage is visible at the end of video: Viru Rally 2012 Karl Kruuda - Martin Järveoja - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-pI-Bsj3rO0&feature=g-high-u)

3. Raul Jeets retired after SS2, Broken gearbox. He hit a rock on the first stage and damaged his gearbox
4. Kaur also retired, broken gearbox
5. Pärn also reired. He broke the gear-selector stick and due to that he was not concentrating on driving enough and crashed on the next stage, car is pretty badly damaged.
Car damage is visible at the end of video: Viru Rally 2012 Sander Pärn - Ken Järveoja - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JlAWR1X58uI&feature=g-high-u)

6. Plangi had some problems with gearbox as well. Finally finsihed 5th

Initially Lukyanuk/Arnautov finished first but they were disualified after technical isnpection due to the missing catalytic converter in exaust system.

Finally Rainer Aus won.

Yes thats right. Poorly Kara uses Punto S2000 and car is slower than latest spec Fabia and Fiesta on gravel. Probably Kara back in last round at Bursa which is all tarmac. There are questions about Kazaz. Start season with Jm Racing Fabia S2000, last race use Toksport Mini Sp and this race start with Parkur Racing (own garage) Lancer EVo IX R4. Also they have a Evo X at car park too.

As you can see Pm Sport Lancers of Piınarbasi and Cakal is out to. Probably end of the season for them.

TRC 39. Hitit Rally ended yesterday at Samsun. Very close race at first day between Rosseti, Avci and Bostanci.
Second day Avci rolled out at first stage, and Rossetti got a clear victory. Bostanci second and Cukurova third.

Rossetti is now leading the championship, but Avci has cahnce to bring points from 3 international rallies (Yalta and Bulgaria and one more).

Here is a short review of the 39. Hitit Rally,

Rossetti is now leading the championship, but Avci has cahnce to bring points from 3 international rallies (Yalta and Bulgaria and one more).
How can that happen? Can Rossetti bring points from Rally Alpi Orientali he's doing next weekend? How does it work?

[aykutbilir]

I'm not sure if Rossetti can carry points from Alpi Orientali. We have a strange rulebook :) Crews can carry points from limited races. Not all europen events. We have a rumoyur abot Rossetti and Pegasus Racing that they will attend Yalta, Sliven and Serbia too. But not an offcial confirmation right now.

Avci and Castrol Ford Team Turkiye attend to EREC (Eastern Europen rally Champs.) That series include Yalta, Sliven and Serbia too.

Today saturday starts the Peugeot Rally, 4th event of danish championship ;)
RallyResult.dk - Som at være der selv (http://www.rallyresult.dk/)

[hsmed]

And what a close rally it was. Christian Jensen (Peugeot 207 S2000) won his 3rd Danish Championship rally this year and is heading for the championship. He won by 19 seconds - but second to fifth was only separated by 1,8 seconds!!!

[MartijnS]

Amsterdam Short Rally today, 6 stages. Easy win for van Loon with the Fiesta, who came to make some milage behind the wheel of his WRC. Hans Weijs drove a stage too, as he was his co-driver today. He was faster obvious.

But I would love to see Tidemand and Lappi in the same rally in S2000! :)

Exactly - and when I saw Pontus in Finland this year, that was the question I asked him. He couldn't answer. Not that Tidemand is any measurement of speed for Lappi, but it'd be nice to have them up against each other in equal machinery. Throw in Evans, Chardonnet, Gilbert, Nikara, etc., as well...

Then there was guiding concrete's and a lot of guiding lines. Place is difficult, really long straight and long long left. Now this car was too out and don't turn anymore.

There is place to roll, but not when you are out of line like this. Really sad :-(

Fight of top 3 drivers - Kruuda, Koitla, Lukyanuk - during Saaremaa Rally was really great! Also some other drivers, from 2WD category too, were very, very fast!!
Also organization was really good!
Only big pity with this accident on SS4. Very bad positioning of spectators by organizers, this stage is run for many, many years, and there always were some accidents or close calls at least. Long straight before, driven with 6th gear for a while, braking line also little bit different than usual, so very, very dangerous place. It could have ended way, way worse...

Rallye Waldviertel 2012 - 14 minutes video:


https://vimeo.com/52336848

[bluuford]

A few weeks ago was Saaremaa rally. I haven’t written anything for the conclusion yet. So, here it is.
Top positions were:
1. A. Lukyanuk/ A. Arnautov Mitsu Evo 10 (R4) 57:53.8
2. K. Koita/A.Ots Mitsu Evo 9 (N4) +10.8
3. K. Kruuda/K. Järveoja Skoda Fabia S2000 (R4) +48.5
4. R. Aus/S.Koskinen Mitsu Evo 9 (N4) +55.2
5. T.Kõrge/E.Prinst Mitsu Evo 9 (N4) +1:02.0
6. E.Kaur/E.Lepiskon Subaru Impreza (N4) +1:07.1

Final results can be found here:
RALLI » Võistlused » Lõpptulemus (http://autosport.ee/rallyreg/?page=47&race_id=184&)

It was the first win for A.Lukyanuk (they were DSQ in Viru rally due to missing catalyst in exhaust system and Tallinn Rally was not part of Estonian Rally Championship). He lost some time on the city stage on the first day (small spin) but it gave much better startposition for the second day.

R. Aus became Estonian group N champion and also Estonian overall champion. T.Kõrge had exactly the same points but R. Aus won due to better final positions
T. Kõrge lost his title hopes due to puncture not much before the end of rally.
Here is the picture: http://static2.fotoalbum.ee/fotoalbum/398/475/0997376794f7eb.jpg

He had a big moment on the first day as well. Wallwas too close:
http://static2.fotoalbum.ee/fotoalbum/398/463/099731913e4a3f.jpg

Kruuda lost the rally on the final stage when he hit a tree and nearly lost one wheel.
You can see it and much more from the following video:
Saaremaa Rally-2012 - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3RtCLDWcExI)

Other title contenders:
J. Vorobjovs had engine issues and finally retired
S. Plangi had puncture and later some puncture related tech issues

Finally, it was the last rally for multiple Estonian Champion Margus Murakas. He retired due to the turbo failure:

That's true but all those top Porsches in Spain are circuit supercup cars with traction control etc. Far from stock GT3 car...

That speed is correct, believe me ... :-)

[tommeke_B]

About GT cars, they're nice to see! Speaking about Belgian GT cars: once developed they are relatively cheap in maintenance-costs, of course the cost of development can be huge (thinking about Van Woensel his 350Z and 370Z for example). I remember Guy Colsoul (Colsoul Rallysport, specialist of Mitsubishi Lancer's, since the first ones already) complaining that RACB allowed teams to develop their own "modern Group B car". I think GT cars are good for the popularity of the sport in a national competition, but they should be kept slower than the top class in that national championship (WRC or S2000).

[Ucci]

I dont like this because "Porsche, Porsche, Porsche" and changes regulations because of them killed rallysport in Spain. That is why we will not have in close future new Carlos Sainz or Dani Sordo...

Here I can't agree with you-Porsche is simply not responsible or even guilty for Spain not to have any new D.Sordo or even driver like ''El Matador'' C.Sainz....You should look the reason(s) in a destroyed economical situation in Spain, it is the same situation in at least half EU countries, no $$$$, no investments in future rally stars......OK, enough of this sad story.....
Secondly, to maintain 911 GT3 Cupis far from costs of ownership of S2000. You can buy few years 911 GT3 Cup for 70-80.000 eur, than transfer it for rally, buy few sets of tyres and rims, and you are already on a winning course. The car is very reliable and though, the engine itself is bulletproof and belive me, much more attractive for spectating than WRC, not to mention S2000 or even N4...
But, there is one big barrier: normal rally drivers do not have enough big testicles to drive this beast on the limit. You are in constant contact with top drivers-ask them if they are enough brave?? All what can they do, is yust complaining & looking for consolation in comparing horspower number against their cars...but in the same time they forget the weight balance, traction in wet or even mud, the design of the car, which was never intend for rally...

Here I can't agree with you-Porsche is simply responsible for situation in Spain. Biggest problem is that they allowed supercup porsches to start in rally and allowed them to put lot of "additional things" into the car (like traction control etc). Due to this situation, it was almost no possible to beat the top cars, which was very fast with also average driver. Thats why they started to allowing more upgrades for other cars (bigger restrictor in N4, lower weight in S2000), everything was more expensive and result not so good. And most of this cars was not able to start abroad as in fact they were absolutely out of international homologation. Lot of manufacturers was not happy with this situation and finished with their support of spanish rallysport...

You won't convince me: the Spain carmarket collapsed in resent years, the importers simply do not have any extra mony to pay for the expenses of serious engagement in Spanish chaimpionship, bigger restriction for N4 cars is already valid at least five years and did not bring anything since the S2000 were still faster.
And by the way: Valejo, Fuster and Pons are no average drivers.....this is almost insult for them. They are known for their successes before Porsche times.....

[PLuto]

And by the way: Valejo, Fuster and Pons are no average drivers.....this is almost insult for them. They are known for their successes before Porsche times.....

But all of them found, that they are absolutely without chance against Porsche with different car. And all of them in era with another car (mostly S2000) had some support from local dealers and other sponsors...

I was in Spain few times during last 9 years, so this is my view of their situation. But, maybe somebody from Spain on this forum can post his point of view?

1600cc more than a s2000-N4-R4 ,circuit slicks vs rally tyres, 295mm vs 235 mm tyres,100-130 bhp more than a s2000-n4-r4 car,and a flat curve of torque for double-triple rpms band than everything else car
it is just a joke to compete against s2000 r4 n4 cars.

100% agree with you! S2000 is a pure rally car, 911 on the other hand was never intend for rally. With all the engine weight behind rear axle compare to computer designed S2000 weight balanced chassis it is a nightmare in handling against modern S2000.
I have a felleing that you haven't drive in a GT3 one meter. It is so fuc....ing nervous car on the limit....a real widowmaker. The worst nightmare is 911 GT3 on the wet, the car has a great love for aquaplaning.....I was so lucky to try it....Who cares for horsepower if you are all the time sideways, fighting to stay on the road.

At Vizzola only some hundrets of laps alone, or as a passenger with Bambini.Just 3-4 different 911s from 911s to gt3 rs, turbo.i ve drive plenty ones at road too,but i prefer my faster Mitsubishi evolution at every road wet or dry,any day of year.
911s yes they cant use their advantage at wet,thats why they beaten from heavier less powerfull cars.But in dry conditions with their slicks tyre(more than 1sec/km faster from rally tyres at SAME DIMENSION) with some 70-80mm wider tyre is different story even with the sh@#$ weight distribution.Thats why they are faster at dry.
They just use their powerfull engine at small medium long straights.
For me this is a cheat,not rally.
Install a restrictor so the engine output is about 280-300 bhp and you will understant what i mean even with 300mm slick tyres..

The talk was about supercup cars with TC not ordinary GT3. Those are NOT on top of Spanish championship...

Anyway think about it this way... International homologation must mean the car is useful internationally. Can You imagine having Spanish cars in for example IRC Barum rally? Something with S2000 weight, almost no suspension travel, rear engine with some 450-470 Hp, wide circuit slicks and shortest gearbox giving top speed 246 km/h? I bet someone without brain can reach such speeds with supercup car on almost every stage there, mostly on bumpy dirty asphalt just a bit wider than the car with trees all around. I fear it would really become a widow maker than.

Last round of Slovak championship - Rally Bratislava is canceled (again)...
Why??

[tommeke_B]

In The Netherlands they limited top speed of GT cars to 215 kph and checked it with speed guns during the rallies (as far as I remember they did in 2008), not a bad solution regarding safety. Crashing at 250kph is a big difference from crashing at 190 kph...

Like usually, money and lack of organisation :-)

Would love to see this car on rally roads: http://m.autoblog.com/2012/11/01/possible-subaru-brz-sti-sighting-on-the-ring/ should be in a light GT class, although with turbo I doubt we will see it.

Agree that speed of all rally cars should be limited, 180k for example.

There are rumours about development of Subaru BRZ R5, but to be honest I can´t imagine BRZ with gravel suspension...on other hand on tarmac it would be most beautiful R5 and very different from all those "shopping bags for woman" like P208, Fiesta or Fabia III.

The videos may be nice Danon, but isn't it better to post them in the video-topic on this forum? This topic is "National Rally Championship news", and these videos are 10 to 20 years old, I don't see the link between these videos and news... ;)

A flat tire.

Teodosio ran for the Portuguese Cup not for the National championship.

Not gonna drive there.

I mean, why?
He was supposed to do Madrid after Sierra Morena. :confused:

Nothing too much special.the main points are:
Kangur plans to change from 2WD to 4WD. He said that current season he was still in 2WD because they had some opportunity to use Honda resources. No more clear plans. Depends on the cars sales in his father company :-P

Pärn does not know which series he is planning to do. Either WRC2 or ERC with S2000 car of Junior WRC. Currently JWRC is the most realistic due to the cheapest price.

Kruuda plans to take part in some kind of series.. do not know whicone yeat.

Estonian 2WD champion Abram is building Mitsubishi for next season
Egon Kaur starts the new seaosn with new Evo X

Timmu Kõrge, Rainer Aus and Raul Jeets continue with 4WD Evo-s

Most probably Lukanyuk continues with his new car in Estonia as well.. Hell of a season is waiting fo us :-)
No news on Koitla and Vorobjovs yet

I like this part from google translate (Kangaroo):
Eight years ago, teen poisikestena rally car for the first time made acquainted Community - Karl Kruuda, Linden and Martin Sander kangaroo - has reached an age and level, which must decide whether to move decisively in the world of international racing at home or confined rallikatlas tiirutamisega.

Thanks but one thing I did not understand?
Pärn thinking about WRC2, ERC or JWRC??

[bluuford]

one of those.. JWRC most likely.. as the cheapest option.

[tolis]

Kruuda plans to take part in some kind of series.. do not know whicone yeat.

Did he go to university now? :D
Thanks for the news bluuford

[PLuto]

JWRC is not the cheapest option (according to comparison with WRCA)...

[peg306]

@Swedish members: Are these the final standings of the Swedish championship: Rally-SM 2012 - Resultat (http://rallysm.se/index.php/resultat)

Yes

[bluuford]

JWRC is not the cheapest option (according to comparison with WRCA)...
I was quoting Sander. He compared 130 000 EUR for 6 JWRC events with S2000 costs in ERC. 2wd is definitely cheaper :-) Actually You cannot compare x events in ERC with S2000 car and 6 events in WRC with 2WD car.

This is only starting price. Finally it is more expensive...
