The team have plans to start in some WRC and IRC events too
Many Belgians on entrylist of next month Rallye des Routes du Nord(northern France) :eek: :eek:
And with big cars !!! For example Bernard Munster with Octavia WRC, Dominique Bruyneel on Impreza WRC like Pol Lietaer also(he was leading last year before having mechanical problem), Melissa Debackere possible on a WRC too,... :D
José Barbara(Impreza GrA - no WRC)will have a difficult fight if he wants to win the 2009 edition :p :

Do they mean no 207 S2000 for Miguel Nunes at Rali da Camacha because Peugeot Portugal will be busy at Rali Torrié the same week-end ??? :confused:
Yesterday not only Norway saw a winter rally finish. The second round of Latvian RC concluded in Gulbene, North of country - rally Sarma 2009.
Conditions - ice with some packed snow on frozen grave. 41 crew started the event (34 in rally cars and 7 in off-roads), 32 finished with 9 retirements [8 (cars) +1 (off-roads)]. All podium was occupied by N4 group drivers. First place was claimed by 2008 champion Aivis Egle. Janis Vorobjovs was as close as 7.57 seconds behind, followed by Maris Neiksans (elder brother of Andis Neiksans who was 5th in Norway's PWRC battle).
Foreign participants. Rokas Lipeikis of Lithuania finished 8th overall and 3rd in A Plus class. Young Estonian talent Siim Plangi after hitting the pothole, bounced in the nearby tree and had to retire. Before that he was leading the 2WD with 15sec clear of second place (after 21.5km into special stages). Out of 5 Russian crews two retired while Yuri Sidorenko took 13th place and Dmitry Biryukov - 22nd, Aleksei Berkut took 2nd place in off-roads.

Guys thanks for reports from 2 very fifferent but very interesting rallys!
rallyemotions :D o you have a rally championship for off-road cars in Latvia?
I mean driven on real rallys alongside real cars?
Is it popular and attractive?
Thank you Rallyemotions for your report.
Whats happend with Raimonds Kisiels? And what about Ivars Vasaraudzis?
Each year one or two of the rally-raid events are run together with regular (road) rallies. Sometimes raid drivers have few different stages and few coinciding. The rally-raid (real off-road) is popular but there where only 7 crews in this "collective" round. I suppose it's because of entry fees and costs involved (special winter tyres) but it's just my educated guess.Quote:
