[ERC][BRC] 2007 Ypres Westhoek Rally

[HaCo]

With a lot of luck I can tell you that the first tarmac round of the IRC will be in my homecountry Belgium. It is held 21-24 june 2007 and also counts for the European Rally Championship and the Belgian Championship.

There should be at least 12 S2000 cars at the start and also a lot of S1600, other N4 and some R3 cars too!

I'm really looking forward to this event, to enough days off from work so I could also go to shakedown...

This thread is to talk about this event!!! :)

[CricketsFilm]

We will be present.... with our service "LIVE" (video, Photos, ect).... on http://www.cricketsfilm.tv and http://www.corradofontana.it/

[Tom206wrc]

There a debut of entrylist on the official website !!! ;)

http://www.ypresrally.com/content/view/20/38/lang,fr

[Jarek Z]

I'm not sure if they should send Scandola to Ypres again :D

[teufel]

I'm not sure that they should send Scandola again to anywhere. He hasn't got the pace comparing to Navarra while Alen outpaced him in Turkey...

[NRI]

Scandola will be back in Ypres this year !
I was during 2 days with Peugeot-sport for testing in north of France (just near my home). Panizzi and Vouilloz were here to test 207 S2000 . There will be at least 5 207. (Garcia-Ojeda, Vouilloz, J.Toth, Rossetti, Casier) and maybe Panizzi. Urmo Aava will be there before Deutschland with his Swift S1600, Jean-Joseph with teh C2, Luca Betti and Dani Sola with the new Civic R3 and plenty of Fiat Punto S2000...

[Tom206wrc]

Incredible and very interesting that Rossetti will be there too :D

What about Marco Cavigioli who enters Rali da Madeira(3rd IRC Round) with a 207 S2000 ?? :confused:

I hope Alessandro Perico will be there too, unless Panizzi uses his car(from Enfolras)...

If Panizzi comes he's my absolute favourite for the win despite experienced belgian drivers(Loix, Casier, Tsjoen) :p :

[HaCo]

Nice to hear Rosetti comes too, he is not the top, but almost... ;)

I just hope Panizzi will come to, we have seen WRC drivers going into a ditch on the first stage before... :D :D

[Jarek Z]

Yes, it's typical for Ypres. WRC drivers end in the ditch and IRC drivers fall in the pond :D

[Tom206wrc]

New update of entrylist today !!! :)

Both Bernd Casier and Marco Cavigioli have been added on 207 S2000 ;)

[Tom206wrc]

Fast Freddy has been added to the list with his Polo S2000 :D

[HaCo]

According to Echapment, it is all fixed that Panizzi would start in Ypres... :D

[Madeira]

Luca Rossetti (Peugeot 207 S2000) and Volkan Isik were also added!
I'm sure that it will be an amazing rally!

[Tom206wrc]

According to Echapment, it is all fixed that Panizzi would start in Ypres... :D

With Bryan Bouffier's codriver(Xavier Panséri)alongside him ;)

[[Madeira-Rally]]

Janika has been added to the list...

For now, there is 11 S2000 cars... really promising rally in Belgium!

[HaCo]

Well, I see allready 13 S2000 cars. Tsjoen has been added...

If rumours are right, another 2 207 S2000's should be added: one sponsered by CRACK (they sponser every year a car) and the one of Panizzi. Also Czopick is still missing, wonder if he will drive?

Then I wonder how many S2000 wil survice first round. :)

[Tom206wrc]

Great amount of S2000s already :bounce:

We have enough of the too numerous Mitsu/Subaru GrN all the time... :rolleyes:

[Tom206wrc]

By the way, on Ypres rally site forum they seem to think that Dudu would run this rally in an S2000 too :confused:



PS: Dudu is Duval(François)for those who wouldn't have understood it :p :

PS: Dudu is Duval(François)for those who wouldn't have understood it :p :
I don't think this is true. Dudu us connected to Skoda Belgium, so it would be quite weird. But, there is another top driver rumoured for an 207 S2000, sponsered by CRACK. It will be announced next weekend, I read.

[Tom206wrc]

So, no Panizzi, nor Delecour in a Peugeot. I think they were to expensive... :)

Nevertheless, a fantastic starting field in Ypres this year!!!

Hi all

I will be in Ypre from Wednesday for the 25th time, and will be covering all the British drivers for our magazine, Rally Results Magazine

Can anyone tell me for my records, which teams/sponsors are for Marco Cavigioli and Patrick Snijers. Also, will Pieter Tsjoen be entered by Duindistel as usual.

Any of the teams/sponsors for any of the Ypres entry list will be very appreciated

Many thanks

Paul

Does someone know if Janika will use Pirelli tyres for this rally ??? :confused:

On the BFGoodrich Rally Ypres preview I've read that all 6 207 S2000 would use these tyres, but it's strange because I know Janika's team and Peugeot Hungary to have Pirelli as partner...

[Jarek Z]

This may be Czopik's last rally in VW Polo S2000. He said that if the technical problems continue he will cancel the deal with Rene Georges and change the car.

I think they will use Pirelli, they used it in Miskolc Rally aswell. As it was a test rally, it wouldn't have much sense to use different tyres on Ypres.

[Offtopic, may be] I am going to watch the rally only on saturday. I was wondering If I should buy ticket first from somewhere or I can go directly to the stages and may be pay there, because I am thinking of going directly to the stages and then to the service park. Any advices, this is my first Ypres rally.

[HaCo]

You can't buy weekend tickets on the stages, that's all I can say.

Don't trust shakedown times: it started dry, when most ran it slow to do recky and than suddenly the sky opened en rain was dropping very hard. Seen very spectacular things, 3 offs too, where a lot of photographers, so pics later...

2. L Cols
3. F Loix
4. E Ojeda
5. P Tsjoen
6. R Travaglia
7. A Navarra
8. N Vouilloz

and my feeling is that was a bad choice...too difficult! :p

And for sure Loix and Cols, which are very good drivers in rain. Tsjoen is not that good in rain and Casier is not an absolute topdriver.

[HaCo]

Never say never, I would not say Casier has no chance. He has experience, he knows ypres and he has the car.

Thanks @ cricketfilms for the nice movies on his 2 channels!!!

BTW, watch out for Cols and Travaglia when it stays wet!!

My opinion is that Casier would be in a fight around place 8. He is missing ritm as well and it is his first rally with the Peugeot.

I think you under-estimate Luca Rossetti by not picking him in top 8 :p :

About Vouilloz he could be a great surprise, because yes, he doesn't know the rally, but he didn't know Turkey neither... ;)

You confused with Umberto Scandola in small water area transforming his Grande Punto into a submarine :laugh: :laugh:

[Jarek Z]

What do you think about Freddy Loix's chances, guys? I personally don't believe that he can win this rally. He wasn't very good in the last editions of Ypres Westhoek, always a few minutes behind the winner...

[[Madeira-Rally]]

There is a few guys with Top Cars that I don't believe they can fight for a Top place...

Loix, Cavigioli, Casier, Tsjoen, Solowow, Isik, Fontana, Czopik...

I think Loix will be ahead if the car shows a good reliability

I've been drinking only Cola and have the same opinion :)
Loix will be ahead... in the second league :)

My favourites for the win are Vouilloz, Garcia Ojeda, Navarra and Tsjoen.

I don't know what to say about Toth. This guy has potential, but he doesn't have much international experience...

Let's hope that both Polos will not fall to pieces on this rally...

[Tom206wrc]

What chance do you give to top GrN drivers(Travaglia, Cols, Bruyneel,...)against the S2000 drivers ??? ;)

[Jarek Z]

Normally, without Super 2000 cars, all of these drivers would easily be in top 10. But this year things are not that simple for group N cars. I think that Cols and Travaglia will finish between 6th and 10th position. And Bruyneel? He is always fast in Ypres... but this time maybe 12th?

]It's from Bernard Munster Autosport

Yes, and it's Munster's most favourite baby. Holek said that Munster didn't even want anybody to touch this car in Poland. He wanted to lower the suspension, but Munster said "No no no, everything is perfect and according to Prodrive suggestions, let's not touch it" :)
I think it's the best car in Munster's team.

The result is only at the end of rally!

[Filip]

6:51.7 for Janika, faster than I expected.

Go Janika!! :D :D

[Madeira]

6:51.7 for Janika, faster than I expected.

Go Janika!! :D :D
Yes, nice result for Janika.
Impressive also the results of Two Hondas!

[Filip]

Yes, nice result for Janika.
Impressive also the results of Two Hondas!

Yes, I think Hondas will be a nice surprise on this rally, but the local boys are also fast.

[Tom206wrc]

And what to say about Frenchman Nicolas Vouilloz :bounce:

[Filip]

Travaglia just a second slower than Navarra! nice. :)

[Madeira]

And what to say about Frenchman Nicolas Vouilloz :bounce:

Well not bad indeed, but as I said before I'm really surprised with Navarra. I expected much more about the performance of Ojeda, He was in ypres last year, but ok it is only the first stage!!

[Filip]

What is going on with SJJ?? , 50 sec after two stages. :confused:

[Mirek]

Don't forget Navarra has clean road as he starts first ;) We'll see in second run...

[Filip]

Looks like Isik retired. Anyone knows some more??

[Mirek]

He's there but slow again, maybe technical problem.

[Madeira]

What is going on with SJJ?? , 50 sec after two stages. :confused:
Maybe he has some problems, on the first he was beaten by the others 2 FW. He is third on the stage and I Think the surface is not so much dirty..

[Jarek Z]

Well, and Loix??? is playing very well in second league...ahaha!

Well, it seems that your Madeira wine is better than my Cola!
I have to try it one day! ;)

[Filip]

]The rally is not over yet ;)

The result is only at the end of rally!


He climbes into first league after stage 2. :)

[Madeira]

He climbes into first league after stage 2. :)
Yes, one more cup of wine (Madeira)for Loix!!

[Madeira]

In SS3 Navarra did 26.36, I think it was a bad time!!!
EDit:mabye not Travaglia worst!

[Filip]

Travaglia loses 18.5 sec , Navarra looks very fast! :( :eek:

[Tom206wrc]

I expect a severe loss for Isik on that 22km long stage :s

[Tom206wrc]

OUCH !!! No Isik at all, no Fontana, Solowow lost 1m07...what a killer stage :eek: :s

[Madeira]

and problems for Fontana....

[Filip]

Even Loix is 4 sec slower, looks like Fontana is in troubles.

[Mirek]

I'm surprised by Rossetti's performance, he's driving very fast indeed.

[Filip]

Rosetti is getting faster and faster.

[Filip]

Where is Janika?? :confused:

[Filip]

Did anyone notice Kris Princen?

He is almost as fast as SJJ, great performance! :)

[Mirek]

Princen was great last year, so I expected good perfomance even he has only R3 Clio :)

[Jarek Z]

Is Fontana out of the rally?

[Tom206wrc]

And Janos Toth ??? :(

[Mirek]

And Bruyneel and Melissa Debackere...

[Mirek]

Maybe weather...

[Filip]

[PLuto]

SJJ is very slow, what 's the weather like in Ypres?

I was watching Eurosport LIVE coverage and it looks roads were dry...

[Filip]

Fontana rolled, also some news on the official site:

http://www.ircseries.com/html/readnews.asp?id=621

[Filip]

Navarra loses a minute, what an exciting rally! so much better than the wrc. :)

[Mirek]

Navarra lost more than minute!

[Filip]

Great time for Travaglia!! :) :D Maybe it started raining?

[Filip]

Bad luck for Loix, looks like he won't win Ypres this year. :(

[Mirek]

Travaglia used wet tyres on first section but it was mostly dry. Isik engine problems. Lox now lost very much...

[PJRevs]

What is problem with Navarra and Loix?

[Tom206wrc]

:eek:

Vouilloz in lead !!!

[Filip]

Janos Toth had some problems with the car on the ss3, but he will probably continue tommorow if i understood corectly:

http://www.peugeot.hu/sport.php?page=hirek&id=181

[Filip]

Where are the results?? :confused:

[Tom206wrc]

Good question Filip :mark:

[PLuto]

I am trying to listen Rally radio, but it isnt in language, which I understand. So I know... ...nothing :-(

[Filip]

Maybe Navarra blocked the road?? :confused: :confused:

[Mirek]

No no, all drivers behind him have time but next stage 6 hasn't started probably :(

[Burak]

Is it raining?

[Filip]

Oh finally....

[Mirek]

Both Navarra and Loix had puncture.

[Tom206wrc]

Perhaps a puncture for Navarra on SS5 as on SS6 his time isn't lot slower than on first passage :confused:

[Filip]

Loix got puncture...

http://www.ircseries.com/html/readnews.asp?id=622

[Filip]

Loix is taking it serious: 12 sec faster than Navarra

[PLuto]

Marshall on stage 6 shows in place, where Fontana crashed in first run, yellow flag :-(

[teufel]

Janos Toth had some problems with the car on the ss3, but he will probably continue tommorow if i understood corectly:

http://www.peugeot.hu/sport.php?page=hirek&id=181

He had blown engine after 8 km into ss3, not sure they can compete tomorrow :(

[Filip]

Seems that ss6 has been cancelled. Anyone knows why?Here is the answer:
http://www.ircseries.com/html/readnews.asp?id=624

SS6 of Belgium Ypres Rally cancelled

The final stage of leg one last night, SS6 (Langemark) was cancelled this morning, due to anomalies with a yellow flag. A marshal was holding out a yellow flag at the beginning of the stage, in response to an incident on the previous running of the stage when several cars had gone off. ...

Some competitors slowed down dramatically when they saw the flag - such as Honda's Dani Sola - and lost time. They successfully argued that they had been disadvantaged unfairly, and the event stewards agreed to cancel the stage.
This means that the end of leg 1 results are those at the end of SS5.

[Tom206wrc]

SS7 normally running ;)

[Filip]

Where is Travaglia?

[Tom206wrc]

They are locked on the first 4 drivers :mark:

[Tom206wrc]

Please what happens on that SS7 ??? :confused:

[Filip]

What is going on?? :confused: :(

[Mirek]

Is there anyone who understand the rally radio broadcast?

[Filip]

Tsjoen is very fast, 9 sec off Vouilloz on ss8

[PLuto]

Travaglia is leading after SS 8 for 9 minutes :-D

[Filip]

Travaglia is leading after SS 8 for 9 minutes :-D

No, he has a 2.5 sec lead, but what time did he make on ss7?

[Filip]

No, he has a 2.5 sec lead, but what time did he make on ss7?

No, I'm wrong, there' s definetly something wrong with the timing site, bu Larry Cols is fast now.

[Filip]

Travaglia and Ojeda lost about 45 sec on the ss7, why?

[Dejan]

What a mess with those results!

[PLuto]

Another strange site with results :-(

[Filip]

Navarra loses much time.

[PJRevs]

Princen 6 place on SS7 with R3!

[PLuto]

Leader in stage 7 is Darren Gass :-)

[PLuto]

And now, leader in stage 7 is Filip Pyck :-)

[Filip]

Tsjoen loses 1:15, a puncture?? :confused: :(

[Filip]

Rosetti is a new leader, very impressive performance.

[Tom206wrc]

Rossetti in lead ahead of Casier and Vouilloz !!! Crazy rally !!! :eek:

[Jarek Z]

I have some news from http://www.autoklub.pl :

Isik had engine problems and withdrew from the rally after SS2.
Fontana went off the road and Solowow stopped his car to see if the Italian crew was OK.
Engine blew out in Toth's car and Czopik was standing behind him for a while on Langemark stage, because the road was to narrow to overtake Toth's car.

[Filip]

Cols in front of Travaglia now.

[Jarek Z]

But only by one second :)

[PLuto]

Sola crashed in SS 7, Vouilloz crashed in SS 10

[Filip]

Sola crashed in SS 7, Vouilloz crashed in SS 10

Where did you see that? :confused:

[Mirek]

It is here: http://www.ypresrally.com/content/blogcategory/15/87/lang,en/

[Tom206wrc]

Retirement for Nicolas Vouilloz ??? ;(



EDIT: OK I saw, crash for him :(

[Tom206wrc]

Where's Fast Freddy ??? :s

[Jarek Z]

Anybody knows what happened to Cavigioli?

[Filip]

Where's Fast Freddy ??? :s

Freddy has mechanichal problems.

I think Czopik will change the team after this rally.

[PLuto]

Freddy mechanical problem before SS 10 :-(

[Tom206wrc]

Anybody knows what happened to Cavigioli?


He retired too ???? :confused:

[PLuto]

Cavigioli is starting very late, on first stage today he has time...

[Tom206wrc]

It's incredible how so many things can happen on that Ypres rally !!! :eek:

Almost on every stage something happens :s

[Mirek]

Czopik said in Cricket's video, that he drove very slow and carefuly because he didn't know how to drive on such stages and avoid risk...

[Filip]

Loix definetly retires. :(

[Cloverleaf]

http://www.ypresrally.com/content/blogcategory/15/87/lang,en/

Freddy Loix is reported to have mechanical problems just before the start of SS10 Krombeke

Freddy Loix is out with mechanical problems

[Tom206wrc]

I hope Enrique Garcia-Ojeda will climb on podium to offer the 207 a 1-2-3 on this rally !!! :D

[Filip]

Problems for Kris Princen.

[Filip]

Is anyone brave enough to predict the overall winner?

[Mirek]

I'm not but I wish Rossetti :)

[Tom206wrc]

I won't because I don't want to bring them unluck !!! :p :


I'm supertitious sometimes :s

[Jarek Z]

Loix definetly retires. :(

Also Czopik is reporting technical problems with the differential in his Polo, but he continues the rally.

[PJRevs]

WOW! Casier, Tsojen and Rosseti 14km, difference 1sec!

[Karbonyl]

Oh, what a bouncing Ojeda ! :-)

[Karbonyl]

Great battle, uncomparable with boooooooooooooooooooooooooriiiiiiiiiiiing WRC...

[Tom206wrc]

Ojeda now 3rd overall :D


Careful to Heuvelland and its 33km long that soon starts... :rolleyes:

[Mirek]

All first seven drivers through the stage are in just six seconds, fantastic :)

[Filip]

Navarra is back in business. :)

[PJRevs]

Ojeda is now third!
Cols is closing down to Tsojen!

[Jarek Z]

This is a killer rally. Already so many victims and still 7 stages to go. Who will survive?

[Filip]

Heuvelland is running, who will be the next victim?

[Filip]

Casier takes the lead! :D

Also great battle for third.

[Karbonyl]

Close battle for 3rd!

[PLuto]

JJ :-(

[Filip]

Where is SJJ? :( :confused:

[Tom206wrc]

Problem for SJJ he lost more than 4 minutes in SS12 :(



Estonian Urmo Aava is largely best 2WD on this rally :up:
