What happened to Anders Kjaer ??? :(

He was doing great time in 2WD class until SS5 but retired before SS6(mechanical problem apparently) ;(

VFTS

14th January 2007, 13:52

Anders broke his rear-right suspension already at the first stage. Later in the rally he got some problem with the fuel-pump and he had to retire.

I saw him at ss2 and even though he had problems it was clear that he needs some more rallies before he finds the right speed.

Ostberg seems like a really decent driver. Anyone know if Mikkelsen was in the 02 car for this event? His website news was pretty unclear. When is the Sigdalsrally taking place because I dont see how he can run it now?

http://www.andreasmikkelsen.com/article.aspx?id=99

VFTS

27th January 2007, 18:05

Mikkelsen drove his 05 Focus in Rally Hadeland. Sigdalsrally is next saturday(3.feb) an there he will drive his 02 Focus.

UT53 SRT or other?

What car drove Egil Bentzen?
Team Preparator?

VFTS

29th January 2007, 18:34

It is norwegian rally-numberplates on the cars so I am not sure which of the cars he drove.

I think the car Bentzen drove was an ex-Morten Østberg Impreza

Jr.

29th January 2007, 23:12

The Bentzen car was Ostbergs old 98 Impreza.

Mads Østberg( Subaru Impreza WRC) leads after ss2 in Numedalsrally(third championshipround). 2) Anders Grøndal(Subaru Impreza WRC) +0.2 , 3) Morten Østberg(Subaru Impreza WRC)+1.17.4

Thomas Schie(Ford Focus WRC) got stuck in a snowbank at ss2 and lost several minutes. Tord Linnerud( Peugeot 206 WRC) stopped inn ss2, probably technical problems.

Anders Kjær(Peugeot 206 s1600) got technical problems just before start of ss1.

Fri

4th March 2007, 21:36

Mads Østberg won the Numedalsrally, Grøndal second, Morten Østberg was third.
It was Mads third consecutive win in this season. Nice job!

Do you know the new owner please?

Rally Sorland this week-end !!! :D

http://www.rallysorland.no

VFTS

3rd May 2007, 19:51

After three rallies on snow/ice its the first round on gravel in the championship. The Rally Sørland is located as far south in Norway as it is possibile.

The big favourite is of course Mads Østberg in front of Thomas Schie and Anders Grøndal.

Also some great drivers from Sweden will start. Oscar Svedlund in N4 and JWRC-champion Patrik Sandell in Clio(n3).

VFTS

4th May 2007, 21:22

After first leg today(ss3) Thomas Schie(Ford Focus WRC) leads Mads Østberg(Subaru Impreza WRC) by +5.6 sec. Anders Grøndal(Subaru Impreza WRC) in third place +26.9.

In N4 the swedish driver Oscar Svedlund(Subaru Impreza Sti) in front of Bernt Kollevold(Mitsubishi Lancer Evo9) and Jørgen Solberg(Subaru Impreza Sti)

VFTS

4th May 2007, 23:19

Rally Sørland:

Eyvind Brynildsen(Mitsubishi Lancer Evo9) got one minute too much on ss2. That means that he leads the N4-class ahead of Oscar Svedlund and Bernt Kollevold.

Tom206wrc

Mads Østberg won Rally Sørland. Thomas Schie was the fastest driver this time and won 6 of 9 stages, but an early puncture on ss6 was the reason that he lost his lead to Østberg.

Final results: 1)Mads Østberg(Impreza WRC), 2)Thomas Schie(Focus WRC) +25.9, 3)Anders Grøndal(Impreza WRC) +1.17.1 4)Eyvind Brynildsen(Evo9,N4) +4.12.7, 5)Oscar Svedlund,Sweden(Impreza Sti,N4) +5.18.7

Christian Andresen won the Peugeot Supercup. Anders Aa. Kjær retired because of two punctures. Sorry for him!

Tom206wrc

22nd May 2007, 21:56

There's something I don't really understand for this week-end !! :s

It seems a lot of drivers will take part to two different events between saturday and sunday... :eek:

There will be the Rally of Lillehammer on saturday( http://www.rally-lillehammer.no )and a rallysprint on sunday( http://www.rallygrindalsmoen.no )and I see most drivers on both entrylists... :confused:

Note that norwegian 206 Cup leader Christian Andresen won't run Rally Lillehammer, as he will take part to South Swedish Rally the same week-end... ;)

Also note that gorgeous Veronica Engan will codrive Kenneth Johnsrod in the 206 Cup... :D

VFTS

22nd May 2007, 22:18

Rally Lillehammer and Grindalsmoen are sprints. The distance from Lillehammer to Elverum is not so long so the teams can drive both of the sprints.

In Norway we have a cup called Kollevold Sprintrallycup 2007 and both Lillehammer and Grindalsmoen are two of the events.

Christian Andresen(206 XS)will go to sweden to South Swedish Rally. Also Anders Kjær(206 S1600) was on the entrylist for a week ago, but now he is withdrawn from the list, I dont know why.

Tom206wrc

22nd May 2007, 22:58

But in the "Start list" section I still see Anders Kjaer... :confused:

VFTS

7th June 2007, 14:06

On saturday we have the next round in the norwegian championship. Aurskog Høland Rally have 113 cars on the entrylist.

Mads Østberg, Thomas Schie and Anders Grøndal will probably fight for the podium places.

More info on ahrally.no

VFTS

2nd July 2007, 15:25

Mads Østberg(Impreza WRC) won Rally Trøndelag on saturday and he is already the Norwegian Champion 2007 because he have won every championshipevent.

Thomas Schie(Focus WRC) nearly beat him these weekend but he was after the final ss12. only 2,2 sec. behind Mads.
Anders Grøndal(Impreza WRC) was third.

Martin Stenshorne(Impreza) won the N4 and the JWRC-champion Patrik Sandell from Sweden was the fastest 2WD with a borrowed Renault Clio Ragnotti(N3)

Next championshipevent is Rally Larvik in september which is the only event on tarmac, all the others are on snow/ice and gravel. Andreas Mikkelsen will compete in Larvik.

Tom206wrc

30th July 2007, 16:17

There was a tarmac event last week-end, the Rally Grimstad... ;)

Anders Grondal won it(he had the biggest car an Impreza WRC), but the best surprise for me was Anders Kjaer in his 206 S1600 who took 2nd overall(after so much retirements in the season)... :bounce:

Also in the 206 Supercup note the gap between rally winner Einar Stadshaug and 2nd overall, Kenneth Johnsrod(codriven by Veronica Engan) !!! Only 0.1s !! :eek:

The Supercup was really disputed :up:

Especially that the favourites had problems(Christian Andresen lost huge time, and Kjetil Finstad retired)... :mark:

It will probably an easy victory for Grøndal in the Impreza WRC, but maybe Martin Stenshorne, Rune Danneborg in the 306 Maxi or Anders Kjær can fight with him.

Rally Larvik this week-end... ;)

http://www.rally-larvik.no

VFTS

5th September 2007, 12:19

Rally Larvik is the only event in the norwegian championship on tarmac. Andres Mikkelsen will probably show his skills on tarmac after his experience in the irish tarmac championship. He is the favourite for the overall winner.

SubaruNorway

5th September 2007, 19:14

Me and Benniz will be heading down this weekend. A video from last year, some highlights at 10:20min and i wil most probably be in the same place as 21:25min :D

Larvik is the hometown of Anders Kjær so he should have some advantages.

Mikkelsen should be competitive in rally Larvik after so many tarmac rallies in Irish championship with good results.

Some pictures of Mikkelsens car who went off on ss2, Østberg was 8 seconds faster on ss1. it was reported that Ola Fløene had broken his coloarbone but i saw him driving the team buss so i gues his okay. Awsome rally, video coming up tomorow :D

8th September 2007, 23:38

Mikkelsen had a spin on ss1 and lost some seconds. On ss2 they went off after 5km in a right hand corner. The rear of the car hit a tree. It was a hard accident. Andreas showed me the incarvideo from the accident.

The co-driver Ola Fløene was taken to hospital, but nothing was broken. I talked to him for a couple of hours ago and he was feeling dizzy and he said that he had hit his head. His helmet was broken and his chair was bent over against the left side.

SubaruNorway

8th September 2007, 23:54

Any idea on how much he lost on that spin? gues we will se the inboard on tomorows broadcast now that Fløene was okay. Grøndal had miss judged a chicane and came in to fast.

I also noticed that after Larvik, thanks to his 3rd position in the Cup, Christian Andresen won the 2007 206 Supercup...

Does someone know what official Peugeot he will drive in 2008 ?? 206 S1600(like Anders Kjaer this year) or 207 S2000 ??? :confused:

It´s not sure that he will drive any "official Peugeot". The only thing which is clear is that his little brother, Sebastian, will drive Christians 206 next year in the cup.
