Mikko Pajunen testing S2000 for the first time ever:
Mikko Pajunen-Kaj Lindström Ford Fiesta S2000 test Sept. 2012 - YouTube

Seems to suit him quite ok.

Such a narrow road and he still doesnt use its whole width

But I don´t know. If there is Printsport truck then it is Therman´s Fiesta.

It is Salyuk's car

Yes, but he never used it himself.

**tolis** · 12th Sep 12, 09:56

Tamrazov won't start in the IRC event, but only in the Ukrainian championship.

He is using his new Mini, thats the reason

**mousti** · 12th Sep 12, 12:38

don't get the logic? what's difference? okay it's not a registered manufacture but besides that it's stays the same..

**uranium** · 12th Sep 12, 12:42

Kochmar will start on Evo VIII, because he crashed his Evo IX recently. So, it will be harder for him to keep the top speed.

Also Sordo used his Mini in the IRC event of Corsica. The Ukrainian round is shorter than the IRC one I think.

Sordo was part of the IRC event because in that time there was an agreement between Prodrive and Eurosport that Prodrive will register Mini after Tour de Corse. They have never done it so since then no Minis are part of the IRC classification (Snijers, Pech, Tamrazov).

**mousti** · 12th Sep 12, 14:27

So it's just because the Ukranian round is shorter than?

**Mirek** · 12th Sep 12, 14:33

So again. Mini is not registered so drivers with Mini are not part of the IRC event. Simple as that. Rallies like Ypres or Barum didn't make separated entry lists for all championships run there but otherwise it was same - no Mini in the IRC event. The itinerary seems to be same for both events.

From Nicola Arena's fb page: I am in Yalta instead, for the IRC event, where I will codrive Alex Tamrazov in his new Mini. But we won't start the IRC event, only the Ukrainian championship one, which is shorter.

**Mirek** · 12th Sep 12, 14:46

There is no word about that in the supplementary regulations. Or am I just blind?

**mousti** · 12th Sep 12, 14:50

It would be good to know, because on another forum we have a pickem about Yalta and if it's not the same amount of km's it has no sense to put Tamrazov in it.

**uranium** · 12th Sep 12, 14:51

What I see from different sites (unfortunatelly official site is under deep reconstruction before the rally

), that Ukrainian championship stage is really shorter:
http://rally-ua.org/images/download/...2marshlist.pdf

IRC time table includes several more stages:
Prime Yalta Rally 2012 - Time table - Rally-Base

So, Ukr ch is 145,13 km, IRC is + 116.74 km
