Where's Valentino Rossi? :(
Not too shabby an entry. Interesting to see Rautenbach in Xsara and Stuart Jones in MG.
28 WRCs I think. Pity about Vale.
A bit disappointed Dani Sola isn't entered with the 207 S2000 as in Corsica :(
Surprised that Polish Michal Kosziuszko is entered in a Grande Punto S2000 :eek:
No Lancer WRC for Aava?
I had hoped for the Lancer WRC with Aava as well. :(Quote:

And also note the absence of Dudu :(
PH ran him in the C2 in the BRC this year so I would guess it would be them..

Yes, the same one as in Spain.
And why are you surprised by that? :confused:Quote:

The reason Rossi won't do Rally GB:
By Toby Moody, autosport.com
Valentino Rossi has scrapped his plans to contest this year's Wales Rally GB at the request of his Yamaha MotoGP team.
The Italian was set to compete in the rally in a Subaru Impreza in December, but Yamaha boss Masao Furasawa has requested that Rossi attends the final MotoGP test of the year at Jerez instead.
Rossi competed in Rally New Zealand last year, and he had planned to make the WRC finale his only appearance in the championship in 2007.
"Last year I did Rally New Zealand because I had the time," said Rossi. "At the beginning I said to Yamaha if it was possible not to come to Jerez and they said no problem."
Yamaha's change in policy is likely to be down to the fact that this year's MotoGP championship has been dominated by Casey Stoner for Ducati.
"Over the last few days Mr Furasawa said to me if it is possible to cancel the rally and I said yes," Rossi added. "It is a maximum effort (for 2008)."
Rossi will mainly focus on a range of new engine set-ups in a bid to improve the electronics of the engine, which should help the torque of the Japanese unit.
That's a great entry.
Looking forward to the Group N battle, cause it holds a very strong field. Hope the MG can follow too :up:
27 WRC cars including a Hyundai and a Skoda Octavia!
There has been 8 WRC car manufactures in the 2007 WRC. :cool:
Citroen, Ford, Subaru, Skoda, Peugout, Mitsubishi, Suzuki and Hyundai.
evgeniy Novikov number8:eek: :eek: :eek:
curious about this guy!!
also allesandro bettega in number 44 :eek:
plus all the usual suspects!
veeeery interesting rally not only about the world champion :D
Hope, our Vertu will beat him just like he beat him to the championship.Quote:

More drivers the better and cars! :D
Yes, it's a pitty that Solà is in entry list with the Civic instead of the 207, but did you see the accident that had the car in last Rally Valais?Quote:

Wilks and Evans are also in PWRC (+McShea,Hänninen,Baldacci and others), so not so easy task for Higgins and Pozzo to get in top 2.
He will be testing in JerezQuote:

Wilks and Evans aren't registered for the PCWRC so will not score points for that.Quote:

Which N4, a Stobart packed Sunbaru/Mitsubishi maybe?
It will be nice to see young Bettega back in action, good luck to him :up:
Dont forget that the event is also the last round of the British Rally Championship hence the likes of Guy Wilkes and Gwndaff. As mentioned by Jamie they wont be eligble for PWRC points....
They will be, as wild card entrants.Quote:

Which sponsors does he have and why does Citroen want to give him a car. I have just looked at his results in JWRC and they don't look that impressive.
Is he any good?
Won the Safari this year and South African champ 2007. John Loyd helped with budget last year or so. Had bad luck mainly during BRC and JRC appearances (mechanical woes and odd accident). Has much potential and backing.Quote:

Is Conrad the son of THE Billy Rautenbach? Who used to be the SA importer of Hyundai and has various mining "interests"?Quote:
