On the other hand..the shells on the Fiestas are running at £100 000 to replace.. Can get to a very expensive experience..

Really that much? I know only Škoda prices but bodyshell costs 24 thousand Euro for Fabia.

Apparently so.. Replacement of whole vehicle £275 000.

I'm providing the Racing Insurance on these vehicles and need to replace them with the correct values. S2000 parts very very expensive!!

ok, thanks. I know prices of all parts of Fabia, not the others.

I really like the design of the car. Hmm, "Peugeot Sport South Africa" - so is this a works team, a dealer team or wishful thinking on the decals...

The new Sasol Ford team of Mark Cronje and John Williams - interesting to see Markko Martin at the launch, wonder what that means?



I'm really loving this - SA rallying is alive and well again, even if these aren't all works teams, it's still great to see the interest in the championship.

Rallyworld.net should have the Time & Distance schedule for the Tour soon, probably during the next week. I have got it, although it wasn't complete at the time I had it. The first day is a loop of 2 stages run twice, so 4 in total, day 2 is 4 stages repeated twice. Add in the Friday night and Saturday afternoon runs around Arbour Crossing shopping centre and that totals 14 stages.

Thanks Bruce!

I got the Natal Guide so far.. but was hoping for a complete season guide..

No chance of that. Each event would only release stuff the week before the event or state it in their regulations, but nothing before that.

Just been emailed the official entry list:

Only one missing is Jaco van Dyk, havnt heard anything about him off season at all :-/

Hahahaha.. tried my luck..

Hi Guys, some More images of the Sasol Rally Team launch here : http://www.promotor.co.za/x/rally/na...y-championship

VERY good championship ! Looking forward to videos Nr. 20 , Sebastian Klaasen , Subaru S2000 ?

Due to N4 virtually disappearing they decided to include N4 in class S2000 for 2011. Seabastiaan Klaasen has the only N4 competing , and possibly an Evo9 or 10 later on.

N3 also forms part of S1600 now

A5 is now S1400

Epic editing fail on the Rallystar website, stating two "Renault 207s" have been entered.

Given Leon Botha's hurry to bitch about everyone else, it gives me pleasure to point out his stuff up for a change.

Just thinking, the last time we saw 4 manufacturers in the top class was the 1991/92 seasons, and those were good ones so this should be very good.

I leave to prep for 1st event tonight, cya all soon :-)
