Well, here you can post all about your National championship.

Of course I will start with Portuguese Rally News

The Portuguese Champion Armindo Araújo is trying to get the budget which allows to do 3/4 races of PWRC, and problably the main races of portuguese Championship. A rumour indicate he is also interest to run Portugall Rally with a Mistsubishi WRC

As you know, Bruno Magalhães is sure with Peugeot 207 S2000

José Pedor Fontes is trying do to run with Fiat Punto S2000.

Miguel Campos after he has left from Peugeot he has built his own team whose name is MIC . This season he wasn't very happy with Subaru performance, he has complained about lack of power of this car. At the moment he don't reveal his plans but it's possible he could change the car.

Nice entries.
Could be the last Andreucci race with The Punto S2000, it is the big rumour in Italy at the moment. Jarek If you can, try to know something about that. ;)
The Punto he will drive in Poland is the first Punto delivered for a private team. The Procar team
 
To Madeira...

About Portugal championship...

I thought Antonio Rodrigues who tested the Toyota Corolla S2000 would also run with it next year :confused:

About Bruno Magalhaes, do you know if he will also run the portuguese event of ERC(Rali Vinho da Madeira, I think) and the portuguese event of WRC07 ??? :confused:

Yes, António Rodrigues was testing in England, and was very happy with all. He is very surprised with Toyota performance although he has driven on the right side steering wheel.Now he is trying to find the budget for the season. Nothing is decided yet.

About Bruno:
Of course, he will take part in both rallys with Peugeot 207 S2000, because the main target of the team is the Portuguese Championship.

what dou you think about both drivers? Can have a promising future?
Who is the Estonian Champion?
Thank's
 
In France, Nicolas Vouilloz, 2006 french tarmac rallies champion in the BSA whale, is interesting by driving a 207 S2000 also ;) but no idea if that would be in France or IRC, and has still to find budget :mark:

I think that both drivers are very talented although they are only 19 years old. Rainer took his first overall win at his 3rd rally in 4wd car, he won his first titles in 2005 (in our national group E and in junior's class J18).

Egon has no 4wd experience yet, but he's reigning rally champion in class N3+A6 (Estonian N2 + A5), 2wd rallysprint champion and 2005 rallycross champion here.

If I was a co-driver, I could not choose between them, they both are very promising.

Tom, do you know if Peugeot Sport France have made any kind of agreement with any french team to maintain and develop in exclusive the Peugeot 207 S2000?
 
Madeira said:
but which are the plans of Alberto Hevia and Peugeot for next season?
Click to expand...
Peugeot will compete in the IRC and not in the National Championship, with a French driver (They haven't confirmed yet, but it may be Bouffier) and Ojeda... Hevia is very angry at the Team Manager, Borja Moratal...
I said to you Spansih rallyes sucks... Each year it's worst than precedent...

According to the latest rumour(from Echappement Magazine) both Michel Enjolras Sport(MES) and Pavérani Competition could be the next preparators of the 207 S2000... ;)


Another rumour, Eric Mauffrey,overall winner of the Michelin Trophy in the french tarmac championship this year, is also very interested in the 207 S2000 for next year and will sell his current Subaru Impreza GrA... :bounce:

David Salanon bought a BSA whale for the 2007 tarmac rally championship ;)
This driver runs usually with a Megane Maxi(very fast in this car), and also had a 206 WRC this year(two podiums in french tarmac championship)...

Cédric Robert and Eddie Mercier will run with the future Renault Clio R3 on gravel(french gravel rallies championship) next year... :)
2006 Volant 206 winner Guillaume Canivenq will do the same, with the factory evolution of the Peugeot 206 RC GrA... :)

That'it it about news of french rallies for the moment...
 
Barborka Rally was won by Leszek Kuzaj in his prototype Subaru Impreza. Second came Tomasz Kuchar (Subaru Impreza) and third Pawel Dytko (Mitsubishi Lancer). Paolo Andreucci didn't finish the rally, as he lost a wheel on the last stage.

Next year the new driver of FIAT Poland will be Maciej Lubiak. He will drive Fiat Punto S2000. This year he was driving Mitsubishi Lancer

and finished in 4th place in the Polish championship.

Other drivers that are interested in driving S2000 cars are Grzegorz Grzyb and Michal Solowow.

Thanks !! You just answered my questions in the S2000 thread of the WRC section on this forum !! :D

It would be great if Peugeot Polska also took a 207 S2000 for Piotr Adamus next year... :mark:

Jarek, do you know if Michal Solowow would like to repeat his bet in ERC once again next year?
I guess with the new rules it must be better for him.


PS: Thank's Tom by your reports.
