[DK] Peugeot RCZ rallying !!!!

[Tom206wrc]

Hi,

Peugeot-Sport Denmark is preparing for the first time the recent sporty Peugeot coupé(made in Austria)to take part to the danish rallies championship(first round in march with the Wikinger Rallye, in Germany) :bounce:

Just let's hope it'll be more competitive than the original and past 307 CC(2WD version, not the "whale") :mark:

PS: it'll be based on the 2012 RCZ Cup created by Peugeot-Sport France(1.6l THP engine developping 250bhp) ;)
If the car is a success on stages, I really hope all the Peugeot-Sport branches in Europe will use it too :D

PS: Kjeld Seidler will be the driver of the car...

Has it been tested yet?

[hsmed]

Not as far as I know. There has been two official test events during the last few weeks, but the RCZ has not been present at any of them.

They're just ready from this week in the PH Sport ateliers

A few pics of the RCZs in liveries can be seen on RallyFotografen.dk (http://rallyfotografen.dk/2012-peugeot-fejrer.html) ;)

The red one or the blue one for Kjeld Seidler in Wikinger :confused:

I asked the team about this yesterday. The car is converted from a circuit racer, so it still has got airjacks mounted, which they use.

Aha, thanks

The second danish RCZ was at last seen this week-end in the hands of Jens Ole Kristiansen(Farvang Rally Show) ;)

I don't think it is the Peugeot-team's intention to use the second (the red) RCZ for other things than selected rallysprints/shows. The driver (Jens-Ole Kristiansen - many times Danish Champion) retired from championship rallying several years ago and has since then only contested events like the Fårvang Rally Show. Kjeld Seidler, however, uses his RCZ (the blue) in the Danish Championship.

Seidler (red)
Kristiansen (blue) ;)

Sorry - colour mix-up. It is the RED one, Kjeld Seidler has been using all year.

[K Seidler]

This year, Seidler drives the blue car, the red car is for sale/rent
