[IRC] Cyprus Rally 2011

I expect Loix fully for the win, the BFO weren't quite happy about how they got handled for Scotland and getting no car.

Any news about Proton?

They will do APRC China this weekend!

[RS]

I am thinking of Tarabus...Maybe.

Kresta I suppose.

Can't believe that Peugeot would not go even though they still have a chance of the drivers title. Bouffier and Neuville have to be there!

[RS]

I wonder whether Skoda Motorsport will also enter their drivers for the Golden Stage Rally and what they would do with the prize money? I think they should carry the logos of some charity and donate any winnings to them! Either that or leave the Golden Stage to true privateers.

... or maybe give 4/5 young and poorly funded drivers their cars for Golden Stage?

^ I think that's probably being a little generous of them

Who decided Loix would not do Scotland? I thought the BFO budget did not cover Scotland. Or was it Skoda Belgium?

I think that the main reason was combination of two factors - no Scotland in original plans + crash in Sanremo. That resulted in no available car in that time. But that's just my guessing.

Of course, factor in his San Remo crash and things become clearer. Thanks Mirek.

Budget was there, it was not in plans official but it was in the plans when Loix would be in involved in the title run still.. Some found it ridiculous there could be no car found and think that was just to have Kopecky (or maybe Juho) get the title easier because of his father who's a big shareholder of Skoda..
