Cyprus Rally 2016

[Jarek Z]

Cyprus Rally will host the tenth, and final, round of the European Rallying Championship. It is to take place from the 7th to 9th of October. At the same time the rally will also host the fifth round of the Middle-East Rally Championship. This means that this is the only time during 2016 that one rally hosts two regional championship rounds of the FIA.

date: 7th - 9th of October
surface: gravel and tarmac
official website: http://www.cyprusrally.com.cy/

Possible entries:

Alexey Lukyanuk - Mitsubishi Lancer :
"I'd like to claim to second position in the championship, we will do Cyprus."

Marijan Griebel - Skoda Fabia R5 :
"I’m really, really looking forward to Cyprus: it has been one of my dreams to sit in an R5 car one day.”

Tomasz Kasperczyk - Ford Fiesta R5 :
"For me it was a good weekend, I had a lot of fun and I learned as much as possible. Next rally will be better, probably the Cyprus. I'd like to be in the ERC in the next season, but we will see on the beginning of the next year."

Ralfs Sirmacis - Skoda Fabia R5 - does he still have budget left?

Cédric Cherain - Ford Fiesta R5 - working on a budget

Cédric Cherain - Ford Fiesta R5 - working on a budget

Cherain will do the final 2 rounds of the Belgian Championship. It was announced in the same article that there was "a big chance that he would do an other rally this year", so could be Cyprus indeed.

[br21]

I don't think Cherian will do Cyprus, as it is really time and money consuming event. You loose car for around month I think. That's one of the main reasons why top ERC participating Czech crews will not go there (from what I know). Kajto not sure yet, Chuchala planned to go, but after rolling in Liepaja they don't have a car (OK, they have spare one but still very limited time to prepare it and most money lost "during" crash). From ERC regulars Botka should be there for sure.

[liposh]

N. Gryazin said he will drive Cyprus in R5 car...I expect real fun and quite good speed before he will crash (which is nearly sure :D)

[WUff1]

I don´t think Kajto will do Cyprus, it doesn´t make sense anymore as he´s already champion. It would be a waste of money for him.

[PLuto]

Kajto will not do Cyprus, same like for example Al-Attiyah or Al Qassimi.

[sindroms]

Sirmacis confirmed - he will be in Cyprus to fight for 2nd place overall.

[Jarek Z]

Raul Jeets would like to compete in Cyprus too, but he is not sure whether they will be able to repair the car in time after the rolling and fire in Latvia:

Not even worth coming to chase the Golden Stage cash ?

"ERC CREWS TO CHASE 60,000 EUROS ON LOVE CYPRUS GOLDEN STAGE

Crews contesting the final two stages of this year's FIA European Rally Championship in Cyprus (7-9 October) will battle for a share of a 60,000 euros prize fund, ERC promoter Eurosport Events is thrilled to announce.

The ‘Love Cyprus Golden Stage’ will comprise two mixed-surface stages with the combined classifications being used to determine the various prize money recipients. Only drivers who are on the entry list and have taken part in the Cyprus Rally are eligible for the prizes.

Both stages will be run once on the final leg of the Cyprus Rally with Golden Stage 1 measuring 22.10 kilometres and Golden Stage 2 covering a distance of 14.50 kilometres.

Golden Stage 1, a fast albeit technical run, is 22 per cent asphalt, 78 per cent gravel. The high-speed Golden Stage 2 is 14 per cent Tarmac and 86 per cent loose-surface.

ERC Co-ordinator Jean-Baptiste Ley said:
“The Cyprus Rally, the final round of the FIA European Rally Championship season, has just got even better! This is great news for the drivers and teams and it really underlines the tremendous support being extended to the event by the authorities in Cyprus. With the various ERC titles still up for grabs and now a prize fund of 60,000 euros at stake – which is in addition to the usual 20,000 euros on offer to the top seven ERC finishers – the Cyprus Rally will serve as a thrilling climax to yet another exciting and hotly-contested ERC season.”

Annita Demetriades, Acting Director General of the Cyprus Tourism Organisation said: “The Cyprus Tourism Organisation actively supports this stage both for its importance as part of an important European athletic event as well as for the special promotion that it offers Cyprus. Through this year's Golden Stage the spectators will have the opportunity to get to know a different area of Cyprus that will contribute in its own special way to the success of this particular stage, but at the same it will lift the adrenaline levels to the maximum.”

The Love Cyprus Golden Stage will be one of the highlights of October's Cyprus Rally, the 10th and final round of this year's FIA European Rally Championship. Detailed route information of Golden Stage 1 and 2 will be kept under wraps until closer to the event, while the prize money breakdown and running order regulations will be announced in due course."

Any confirmation from Greek members about Athanasoulas participation?

Sent from my SM-J500FN using Tapatalk

As far as I know, he is doing the rally

[Lehus]

No. Even the first price is about half of the budget. So teams who are already on the top will keep their money

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Kajto not competing is understandable as he is already 2016 champion.

But Sirmacis is coming to win 2nd place in the final ERC... is there extra prize money for that ?

[Lehus]

Well, the standard eurosport prizes are there. Also, the golden stage. So it doesn't matter if you compete for 2nd place overall or just got it ;)
As for golden stage, they have prizes for top3 overall and top2 in erc2

No special money prizes for ERC season

[Jarek Z]

Greek driver Lambros Athanassoulas, who was second in Acropolis this year, confirmed his presence in the Cyprus Rally. He switches his car from Skoda Fabia to Ford Fiesta R5.

[WUff1]

Very weak, yes. But at least a duel for 2nd position in ERC.

[RS]

Not terrible considering the championship is over.

A Luky - Sirmacis duel should always be interesting and I'm curious to see how Griebel and Gryazin will do.

[Jarek Z]

Only 8 R5 cars? :o That is less than the average in a rally for the Belgian Championship...

See? That's part of the problem. If Belgian drivers were competing in the ERC, the number of R5 cars would have been higher :)

[dupanton]

See? That's part of the problem. If Belgian drivers were competing in the ERC, the number of R5 cars would have been higher :)

No. Ypres had 27 R5s. Problem is that some rallies attract good entry list. Others don't do that at all. But still they stay in the championship.

[Jarek Z]

But look - organisers are happy and consider this entry list one of the best ever:
"A total of seventy two crews are on the entry list for this year’s rally. A list comprised of the most important names of the European, Middle East and Cypriot rallying scenes, making it one of the most important entry lists we ever had."

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Great to see Lukyanuk coming after all.. what changed his mind ?

I also want to see Greibel and how his pace is with his debut in an R5..

[Mirek]

Tarabus/Trunkát released a press information that although they planned to do Cyprus they can't start because of very expensive crash on Barum...

Strange manoeuvres in qualifying.. Sirmacis drove slow to avoid having to choose first and Luky chose to run first, despite gravel (maybe because he didn't want to run in dust on night stages)

Lucas 2sec/km from Sirmacis...

I hope and think Sirmacis will be faster in the light tomorrow.

Gryazin also doing well.. has he driven an R5 since Valais last year?

[Jarek Z]

Easy. Even though he has no opponents, he already managed to damage the car on SS2:
"We damaged front corner of the car, it was a blind corner over the crest and we didn't see where we were going, there was completely dark."

You were right. Congratulations! :)

If Griebel keeps Sirmacis behind him, that would be really something...

'I'd like to keep Ralfs behind, but it will be difficult. Anyway I would be happy with the podium.'

[fegh]

I know that Roger Feghali is participating to help Rodolphe Asmar (a motortune racing driver) secure the MERC2 championship, so I think he is taking no risk and just having fun.

Excellent pace till now from Griebel.

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Seeing Griebel's pace on his R5 debut, I can understand why his Opel Jnr team-mate Chris Ingram is so desperate to get himself an R5 for 2017...

[RS]

Sirmacis is strangely off colour on this rally.. maybe gravel Michelin don't work so well on the tarmac? Or maybe he just doesn't like changing grip levels.

The grip at Turkey Greece and Cyprus is always strange it is mostly hard to find confident on tyre.

It seems Sirmacis doesn't like anything in this rally. First some strange tactics in the qualifying stage, then bad times at night, and today he cannot even keep the pace of a guy who's sitting in a R5 car for the first time....

[mousti]

That's just being Luky.

We can only hope he still get the support next year to drive on international level, not only he his crazy on the stages, his one hell of a crazy personality for the rallying world and something that this world needs!

It's very strange after the excellent year he's had. Leading two cars are on Pirelli so maybe they work better here, but he was slower than his less experienced team mate too.

[dimviii]

even with no dust he is 1sec/km slower

(2 - Sirmacis Ralfs / Šimins Artūrs): No dust on the road, it was clear. We just drive, it's OK. We want to catch Griebel and win the Golden stage.

[bluuford]

Ralfs has grown up in Baltic roads, very fast, very smooth and sometimes nice ruts with 2WD cars. Cyprus is completeley new world for him with gravel tyres on tarmac, slower speed, rough sections etc. And we do not know Michelin performance here as well.. he is only top driver using Michelin here .. if I am not mistaken?

[Neige]

That's just being Luky.

This.

For some time I tried to realise why I quited to watch WRC(Now I'am trying to get back at this). Firstly I thought, that because I dont have enough free time anymore and other activities took a part. But then I realised, that there were no personalities left. Its looks like that drivers have few templates on what to say after stage/rally. I know, that I will tell storyes to my kids about Hirvonen who was laughing when flying flat-out over Finland jumps, Gronholm about his talking style and adventures, Gigi Galli, F.Delecour, H.Rovanpera and so on. About most of todays drivers I can only, that "Yeah, they are fast".. And Luky is that amazing exception.

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Sirmacis maybe just here for the Golden Stage money.... “I try to push and the stage near the sea is really nice, I think I can be very fast there. Budget is very important to everybody so this is a good prize. We have a set of soft tyres for the Golden Stage.”

[tommeke_B]

Where can we see the Golden Stage live? Oh nevermind...

Fegh is probably right. Feghali said that after SS12:
We have slow engine mapping, used tyres, we just need to finish for our team.

That's a shame. He used to be such a great driver!

[Rallyper]

Lucky should do WRC2 for one year (2017). He´d show the others how to have pace. That´ll make him even better prepared for WRC in 2018.

Maybe Malcolm could just sign him for WRC 2017 now? He can't be worse than Camilli or slower than Ostberg..

Fantasy aside, I'd like to finally see him win the ERC title first, and he's probably too old to think about a WRC career now.

Career no. But 2-3 years could make the difference for us.

It´s not fantasy bringing him a seat in WRC2. He´s shown already what he can do in ERC.

No. Even the first price is about half of the budget. So teams who are already on the top will keep their money

There’s a lot of prize money coming your way, not just for winning the Love Cyprus Golden Stage but for the regular ERC round-by-round prize money. Money has always been tight for you so what’s your plan for the money?

Thanks. Love it - max attack and max sideways. Carrys a lot of risk but it's that type of driving why I love the sport

No :) it was wrong from the beginning. I've opened Ss13...

Yeah, the good is you kept it cool and Lukyanuk didn't slow down.

It's a shame we didn't get to see this live and there were not more divers there, great way to end the season.

Lots of respect for a codriver who keeps his cool next to a driver like Luky!

Best of luck for next season, hope to see you in Ypres!

Truly speaking I do not remember. Something from Canaries maybe or Irish tests.
well, generally first SS of the rally or tests - then you sit in the car and think "why I did it again?" :)
