2015 Global Rallying

[janvanvurpa]

Just for the fun (knowing more about rally is always fun!), it would be nice to post here the main features from national rally series (with this year data) around the world.

Including:
- Series name.
- Number of events.
- Events road surface (Gravel, Tarmac, Mixed).
- Top car Groups allowed (RC1, RC2, RGT or National classes).
- 2015 Champions (Driver, Co-driver and Car).

Beginning with Portuguese champ:

Campeonato Nacional de Ralis (CNR) 2015
- 8 events (4 Gravel + 4 Tarmac).
- RC2 (RRC excluded) + RGT (national regs).
- José Pedro Fontes/Miguel Ramalho in a Citröen DS3 R5.

Your turn!

It would be nice to add: number of entries per event.

And links to national results.

I think it'd be more interesting to collect information from national series for 2016 here, not to look in the past anymore.

So Finnish season 2016 looks like this:

Ralli SM -osakilpailut 2016

WINTER/snow
1 28.-30.1. Arctic Lapland Rally, Rovaniemi
2 26.-27.2. SM Vaakuna Ralli, Mikkeli
3 11.-12.3. Tahko SM-Ralli, Kuopio
SUMMER/gravel
4 10.6. Sastamala-Huittinen Ralli, Sastamala-Huittinen
5 19.-20.8. SM-Ralli Turku Turku
6 23.-24.9. Pirelli Ralli Tampere

All important information will be available at http://www.rallism.fi/content/fi/1/10005/Etusivu.html

Not much of rumours for 2016 season has reached me yet. There should be a handful of R5s, Juha Salo and Jussi Vainionpää of course with their PSA kits, but also Hannu's Rally Team's Fabia R5 should run in FRC with possible several drivers. TGS should have Fabia by now, but it's available for rent not exclusively to Finland.

Biggest change to regulation is the addition of all 2.0 litre WRC cars. So far only pre-2003 has been allowed, not it's all up to 2010. Maybe a few more historic WRCs will arrive to spice the competition.

Also, you all should check out new YouTube videos after these dates - which are F-Cup calendar for 2016:

WINTER/snow
23.1. Valkeala F-cup
6.2. Kangasniemi ralli
5.3. JMK-Ralli 2016, Jämsä

SUMMER/gravel
28.5. Uusikaupunki-ralli
3.9. Black Rocket Ralli, Tervakoski
1.10. Salpausselkä-ralli, Lahti

There's quite a bit of turmoil off-season in F-Cup now. Drivers are unhappy with promoter for this season and demand a change for 2016 - otherwise the core of drivers will boycott the series. Something will change, but what and how is still up in the air. Hopefully they get it fixed, since this is the most popular series in Finland.

Of course, if you're interested in Finnish rallying, following our Twitter account keeps you updated, like always. Looking ahead for another busy season on stages!

5.3. JMK-Ralli 2016, Jämsä

F-Cup in Jämsä will be mainly in old/current NesteOil Rally stages (Ouninpohja in wintertime without pace notes should interest forum members) of course route is secret until the start.

You're right Hartusvori, even if the idea was to make a season review it makes sense to turn it into a current report for national series. I've removed 2015 from the first post but don't know how to do it in the thread title. Any help?

Just let it be. Does it matter?

Not really, but I'm stubborn

Jooo jooo jo pojken men tänk på alla andra som inte kan läsa din udda dialekt (o ser inte hur lätt det är att skifta lite så det blir en annan språk)
Jag menadade en lite not eller antekning på antal deltagare..

On that point lets say in advance.
Champignonskit for Merikuh:

who cares..its just 11 to 13 rich or indebted guys who aside for Dave Higgins, none could come higher than 50th in any event in real rally in say Sweded or Finland.

Also ask what about the South Africa and AP guys?
