And yes, Ucci is the best! Never understood why FIAT didn't keep that guy.

As far as I know there was a conflict between Andreucci's personal sponsor ERG and FIAT's new sponsor API and Ucci had to leave the team. That's what I heard, but I'm not 100% sure if it's true.

Anyway, he's my favourite driver in Italy now, no matter what car he drives!

Good to hear you enjoyed the rally in Germany, HaCo. Thanks for sharing your impressions. Is Kahle driving Porsche these days?

I just returned from Kopná. It's been great weekend and great rally!

Kresta was quite dominating and after very long time it was clear that he was enjoying the rally as much as possible. He was very spectacular as well. Before the rally he was very unsatisffied with setup of the car from Toth. They were changing setup almost 2 hours between test drives. But after that the car was working well for him and he was happy with it. He said that Lancer was not a racing car compared to Peugeot which is great fun to drive. he said it was more fun to drive it than Peugeot 206 WRC he was driving in 2003. He also said that during the rally he was testing different settings and various tyres even though he knew that such tyres are not the best for current conditions.

It was a pity of Grzyb's mistake in SS1. He would be second for sure. Kopná is specific event where there local drivers are in huge advantage and is very hard to defeat them. In this case Peták must be sattisfied as he got the biggest number of poits from regular sprint runners (and Grzyb takes no points), much more than leading Josef Semerád (both of them are not local). Odložilík retired with broken propshaft.

Funny thing is that Tlusťák run out of fuel on the last radio point of the rally :D But he wasn't able to defeat Minařík in Fabia Kit Car even though he went last stage and 3 km of penultimate one without power steering. Both of them are local. Tlusťák lives on stage Raková, Minařík on stage Kopná...

Good to see Cserhalmi back in car. He may be starting on Barum rally. Grzyb confirmed Barum rally start with Punto.

Weijs is a promising driver. Earlier this year, he did an 11th fastest stage time with a Volkswagen Polo (N1 or N2), alongside many WRC and Group N4 entries. Still, a good start for him of course.

Final results in Eifel Rallye in Germany:

1. Wevers 1h20'21"0
2. Van Eldik at 38"1
3. Van Merksteijn jr at 1'38"1
4. Van Merksteijn at 1'45"4
5. Gassner at 2'36"8
6. Kahle at 2'42"2
7. Dobberkau at 2'45"6
8. Kuypers at 3'50"6
9. Gassner jr at 3'52"2
10. Van den Heuvel at 3'59"8

13. Burkart at 4'34"8
14. Ogier at 4'44"8

19. Weys at 6'39"3
What was happend with Weijs? Problems or just slow?

Shame Gassner is in front of van den Heuvel in time table.

Nothing interesting. There is written, that Baumschlager presented his Lancer Evo X, but it is only for presentation, lot of parts is missing and they still dont know, when will be first official start.

exactly! i was there and took the pictures

http://www.rallyepics.at/bilder/rallye2008/20brrfuglau/

the engine electronic, the diffs and all the carbon parts for the cockpit and doors are still missing from rallyart japan.

bodyshell, gearbox, suspension, brakes and exhaust system are already in final race condition

but the car already looks nice and it seems that baumschlager is very happy with the car...

Other Belgians Colsoul and Bruyneel are just behind(3rd and 4th) :p :

Thiry is struggling, but in a 2WD diesel on gravel it's not easy anyway :mark:

First leader was Joann Bonato in his Skoda Octavia WRC, but he lost more than a minute on SS2 :(

New victory for Felice Re at the Beta Rally Oltrepo ;)

Endeed a new victory for Felice Re, he was unbeatable. I saw him on five SS and sometimes I wondred, if maybe Mr.Perfect Loeb was driving his Xsara...
Brega finished his dreams already on SS1. First time Clio R3 was in front of S1600 cars !!
Very nice rally, stages are easy to access, I enyojed very, very much.
Again, I can not forget spectacular driving from Felice....

Well, I returned from pelhřimov. It was nice rally with some gravel parts as well. The weather was finaly quite good. Humid roads in the morning, than dry. Most spectatular driver was Sýkora. Pitty of his 10 sec. penalty. He would be third. Orsák used BFG tyres for the first time. Semerád retired due to gearbox problem after a big jump. Tlusťák with S2000 was slow. Peták was fast and stable. He is on good way for rallysprint title.

Quite a lot of crashes with realy heavy ones in amateurs. One of them was very experienced driver who made lots of rallys among "big" boys some years before. He was badly injured in crash of his very strong Lancia to the pole. Another one was motoring journalist who crashed heavily his Colt Evo which is a beast with 400 Hp engine and Evo 8 technics inside. Fortunately it was without serious injury although he was thrown out of the car somehow...

Another two big crashes were Čaloun's with Escort gr.A and Šlehofer's with Punto S1600. They hit trees on the same place (some hole on the road caused they lost control of the car). Both crews were ok. I hope they can repair Šlehofer's Punto before Barum. Two crashes happend just infrot of me on a gravel, fortunately not serious - Havel and the same man with that Lancia I was talking about before.

The car was still basically standard road car with some necessary racing equipment (roll-cage, seats, seatbealts), it has standard gearbox and engine electronics. Despite that I expected more even on car`s debut, especially if engineers wanted to be competitive to S2000 cars. After what I saw I think car can be little bit better than evo 9 after being rightly upgraded, but not so much as some has expected. Like I said once, 100kg more of "deficit" isn`t good start... He was even slower than two local drivers with R3/R2 cars...

The Cavan man and his season-long rival, Niall Maguire, had continued their battle on the seventh round of the championship, and co-driven as usual by Paul Goodman, Elliot finished 9.3s ahead of Maguire and Enda Sherry. The rally was in the balance from the start and entering the final stage, Maguire was just 0.5s ahead of Elliott. But the Monaghan man’s Impreza suffered a puncture a few miles from the end and Elliott took victory and a two-point lead in championship. Kevin Barrett/ Sean Mullally were third.

The first Open Rally Challenge season in Croatia is finished with the 1.ORC Virovitčki rally.The rally was won by the multi-time Croatian rally champion Nenad Lončari&#263 ;( Subaru Impreza) who is also the first ORC champion.The rally drivers were joined by drifters and slalom drivers who heated up the crowd and made this event even more spectacular.
We hope that the ORC project will continue next year with even more spectacular races.
