Corona Rally Mexico 2010

true, not an amazing entry list but still much better than past years!! there will be a good fight in S2000 and on WRC you have kimi, block and villagra to make the list bigger and add to the spectacle, plus Im not sure how good he can be, but should be interesting to see Petter in the C4 in a rally he has won before.

A little bit dissapointed by Triviño's entry, he will be slower than the s2000's in the 206 thats for sure, he should've tried to get an S2000 drive, as pablo gutierrez did, will be quite interesting to see what he can do with that great machinery. Also should be nice to see Benito Guerra with the Evo X, but still he cant top the S2000's, IMO with equal machinery he could match the pace of the top S2000 in this rally.

In S2000 I will go for Prokop, but who knows myabe Nasser could fight as well, dont know what the pace of Pons will be or what Kosciuszko can do...

An other interesting entry is Michel Jourdain, although Im not sure if its Michel Jourdain Sr. or Jr. If its Jr. it should be cool to see his rallying style, as he had some success in CART and has raced in NASCAR, WTCC and A1. Although if it is Michel Jordain Sr. I wouldnt expect much as he is 60+...

According to all available documents from FIA website Peugeot 206 WRC has expired homologation since 31-12-2009 and can't be therefore used in any FIA event...

Yeah, they can nominate 2 cars for SWRC and 2 for PWRC as wildcards in Mexico, so SWRC contains 7 cars then and PWRC 8 cars. Bacco is replacing Frisiero in Mexico. And nice to see a few local Evo-s.

"wildcards"???

[tolis]

wildcards=entries in the PWRC-SWRC only for this event...

Interesting...
Im sure he has an Evo somewhere, could he change the car before the rally??
he should try to get a 207...

just a quick update

entry number 28, is indeed Michel Jourdain Jr. (ex CART, NASCAR, A1 and WTCC driver) he has done the Baja 1000 before but has no experience with proper rallying. His car is going to be prepared by Alejandro Pimentel's team (former mexican champion). In an interview with a mexican newspaper he mentions that he wanted to enter rallying since the first edition of rally Mexico back in 2004 however he never had the chance until now.

He was quite fast in CART but after some suceess there (I think he won a couple of races), and he was a consistent point scorer, his racing career never picked up, in WTCC he never got the pace and NASCAR and A1 were for quite a brief period of time. Dont know what to expect for the start of his rallying career but who know lets see what he can do. Just imagine he is like the mexican kimi, lol!

Why does homolgation expire if WRC cars are still alowed in the WRC?

Anyway, only 35 entries is a bit low!

yeah but a lot more top drivers, plus some s2000 which is good.
In previous years many of the entries were from the 206 cup, which I think is not doing very well at the moment (specially since peugeot no longer makes the 206!)

however there are a lot of N group cars missing...
