There is a provisional start list already, very short though
Delecour will compete at Sibiu Rally and most of the top roumanian drivers will be here. Sibiu Rally is the only round which has coefficient 2 in the championship.
Here is the last round before Sibiu Rally , of course, in english :) Romanian Rally Championship RD4 Transilvania Rally on Vimeo
Will Kopecky compete at the Sibiu Rally? Has anyone news about this rumor?
It is highly possible...Quote:

I am a little bit surprised anybody from those gravel specialists didn´t choose Sibiu rally. I know it is "dakar-style" rally, but quality of event itself is high.
I saw on Tempestini's facebook that some machines did the stages to make the gravel less rough.
Which gravel specialists do you mean?Quote:

Kinda hard to pick a winner................ :)
Seriously, not too bad an entry considering it's not one of the "big four" events in the ERC. Always enjoyed rallying held in Poland.
What does Poland have to do with Sibiu?Quote:

Hey, at least my earlier post about Delecour entering indicated I knew it was Romania.....
BTW- is Sibiu pronounced SIB-I-YOU or SI-BY-YOU or...?
I personally don't find this entry list very exciting. Just two top ERC drivers and 38 crews in total. We can only wonder how many stages Kopecky will win.Quote:

Aigner needs more starts in first half of the season, so after changes in calendar he was starting on Corse.Quote:

If he win the rally he will increase the gap in the standing and will be almost the new championship. More interesting is the fight for Production Cup. At least 4-5 drivers will fight for the victory.Quote:

- Unknown organisation and event to most teams
I think this stops them from coming... ;)
Exactly! I would also add another reason - too many events in the ERC calendar, which leads to drivers skipping rallies. I would consider Sibiu a victim of the overloaded calendar.Quote:

Anyways it is a great opportunity to take many point for some drivers. I shall go on weekend to SS Santa to see how it is. I know that the organizer try to make the road much smooth.
Bryan Bouffier has just announced on his FB page that he is driving a Peugeot 207 S2000 with Team Delta Rally on the Sibiu Rally.
Ladies and gentlemen, please correct your Pickems! :DQuote:

I have seen an announce with the participation of Bouffier at the rally page on Facebook few minute ago.Itu, the organizer, said few day ago, even the entries is closed it is possible to appear new name.
There is Bouffier's name for few hours. On the bottom of the list...Quote:
