Breen?
(Kubica????)
(Basso????)
Neither Kopecky, Lappi (will compete in APRC), don´t think Aigner, too (has also completed his mission). Bouffier I´m not sure.
More likely we'll see him driving a WRC in Wales.Quote:

lady cup is too tough for him :-P
Kubica may be WRC-2 champion, but for ERC he is simply not good enough :)
Basso says about his chances for Valais here:

I think that Škoda Motorsport will start in Swiss too :)
With Lappi?Quote:

but Bouffier has no budget :(

According to a french forum member Bouffier is now secured for Valais ;)
Any news about the final entry list? Just one more week to go ...
The entry list will be published on 01.11.2013.
Thank you!
Entry list on Halloween? What a crazy idea! :D

Some rumors from Autoklub.pl:
Peugeot 207 S2000 for Craig Breen, Jeremi Ancian, Jean-Michel Raoux, Gregoire Hotz and Stephane Lefebvre
Skoda Fabia S2000 for Esapekka Lappi, Jaroslav Orsak and the fast Czech Antonin Tlustak
Ford Fiesta S2000 for Wasilij Griazin
Ford Fiesta RRC for Olivier Burri
I know it's sarcasm but on the other hand two years a go on Valais Tlus?ák surprised by his best ever performance. Like it was not even him :)Quote:

Yes, I remember that. I think he even won a stage with Luca Rossetti. I remember all the confusion here on the forum, nobody knew what was going on :)
Will he repeat it this year?
What ist with Breen ????
NO Breen official no money !!!!
Is it confirmed?
He's looking for speed ;)Quote:

Bouffier is not starting, but one week later he starts at Wales with a DS3 R3T
Lappi is doing APRC China but I guess he has enough time to get back for Valais?
I also heard he would do both.
I think correct should be "no Bouffier" :)Quote:

Summary from CraigBreen.com: :)
Runner-up spot up for grabs on the ERC finale
While the identity of the FIA European Rally Championship winner for 2013 is already known, the battle for the coveted runner-up spot remains wide-open heading to the season finale in Switzerland next month.
After 11 rounds, Bryan Bouffier occupies second spot behind first-placed Jan Kopecký. But with Craig Breen 26 points adrift of Bouffier, it’s still all to play for in the chase for second place.
However, while Breen has long since confirmed his participation on Rallye International du Valais, Bouffier is unable to take part when the event takes place from 7-9 November.
Breen determined to show true ERC speed in Switzerland
Craig Breen will start round 12 of the 2013 FIA European Rally Championship in Switzerland aiming to bounce back from frustrating trips to Poland and Italy recently.
Breen was tipped as a contender for victory on LOTOS 70 Rally Poland and Rallye Sanremo but suffered misfortune on both occasions, slipping behind Bryan Bouffier in the overall ERC standings as a result. He hopes to show his pace and bag a top result on Rallye International du Valais, which takes place between Sion and Martigny from 7-9 November.
“I really wanted to win Sanremo, put in some good stage times and prove to everyone I could do it but it wasn’t to be,” said the Peugeot Rally Academy driver. “In terms of being frustrating, Sanremo was eight out of 10, while Poland was 10 and of 10 so this is not as bad. But now I need to rethink and go again.”
Breen’s challenge for victory in Sanremo was wrecked by an off on the first Ronde night stage that left his Peugeot 207 Super 2000 too badly damaged to continue to the finish of the leg. Although he restarted on day two, steering rack and brake problems hampered his true pace.
Rallye du Valais Strong Entry List:
http://www.riv.ch/fr/le-rallye/informat ... s-engage-s[/quote]
Considering the fact that it's the last round, the championship is decided, there are too many rounds in the ERC, Switzerland is an unfriendly country for this sport, it is not a bad entry list. Only one driver is missing - Bryan Bouffier. Without Bouffier it should be easy for Breen to take over the 2nd place in ERC. Second place in Valais should be enough to do it.
I do not understand Jarek Z his statement.
The Valais Switzerland or rather is the right country for the sport.
There we were concerned about safety and scenic it is a great rally.
Also the routes are very demanding.
I had a Swiss friend, who told me that there is no interest in rallying among the official car dealers in Switzerland, no big sponsors etc. And I think he is right. It's one of the richest countries in Europe, but half of the entry list are small cars of class 6,8 and 9. It's the country of bankers, isn't it? ;)
Circuit racing is even forbidden by law in Switzerland.
I dont agree. Entry list there is good, better than in Austria or Germany. And there is also lot of local sponsors, support of local authorities is perfect, lot of spectators too...Quote:
