Impressive :)



Just can't wait for 6.00pm this evening :bounce:

[HaCo]

]According to Chryby Auquier had gearbox problem and Kopecký had puncture during first run.
We saw kopecky passing with a puncture, we also saw Toth stopping in stage apparantly out of fuel. Then Voullioz left the shakedown (in the middle of it), also with problems aparantly.

[Tom206wrc]

Two hours left to go :D

Unfortuneately, having a rendezvous at the doctor at 6.00pm today, I'll miss the live of both SS1 and 2(at least) :(

[GTA]

Casier Car is fixed, no problems, was lucky to be only body work... Auquier car was ok in shakedown no problems.... :)

[[Madeira-Rally]]

SS 1 is almost starting!!!

[[Madeira-Rally]]

SS started right now...
I heard on the radio :D

[[Madeira-Rally]]

6:30.3 for Fontana

What a fantastic job for the guys of the radio from Ypres Rally... Fantastic!

[pucky54]

Vouilloz 13.5 faster

[[Madeira-Rally]]

Basso said that the stage is very slippery

[pucky54]

good time from Miggins

[Madeira]

SS2-No time for Fontana...

[Huufke]

Fontana is out due mechanical failure on the road section towards ss2.

[Madeira]

Huufke:
Thank you

Very impressive time for Casier in the SS2, I hope the car could resist with this pace!

[ProRally]

Where is Munster on SS1 ?

[Madeira]

SS3-No time for Isik!!

[Tom206wrc]

Fast Freddy is really hungry for a win after the bad luck he had before(too much punctures hampered his pace) :D

[pucky54]

Yes, and we see you have to drive a Peugeot or VW to be fast :D

[Mirek]

Fiats continue as usual. They are out of pace and what's more two of them are out after SS3...

[Tom206wrc]

And Rox(Rossetti)is confirming it's not only due to luck he's leading the championship and always win :p :

[Madeira]

Higgins is doing better than I expected!!

[pucky54]

Yes, Miggins is just around 1 sec/km slower, like most of the Fiats ;)

[Mirek]

Madeira: Maybe better to say MG is doing better than expected so far :) When we look at the cost (from Bill Gwynne advertisement) which is a third of Peugeot or Fiat and a half of VW, it doesn't look bad.

I wish guys from Bill Gwynne and René Georges all the best to reach the finish!

[Salist]

Robert Butor retired on 3rd stage. :-(
He was 1st position in the S1600.

[Tom206wrc]

Yes, Miggins is just around 1 sec/km slower, like most of the Fiats ;)



"Miggins" :laugh:

[pucky54]

"Miggins" :laugh:

Isn't it right? He's the brother of Diggins, or am I wrong? :D

[Mirek]

You are right :)

What a shame for Bútor :( He is very atractive driver...

[sal]

Mark Higgins Miggins
David Higgins Diggins

Tony their dad runs a popular rally school in Wales but they originate from the Isle of Man hence the flag agianst Marks name in the back window of the MG.

Nice to see the MG going still... hope the engine holds out with Mark caning it!

[Tom206wrc]

SS4 is about to start ;)

[pucky54]

Betti had a big moment on SS1

[Tom206wrc]

Solowow on SS4 ??? :confused:

[Salist]

Mirek: I do not know it yet.

[Tom206wrc]

And "M"iggins ???? :confused:

[Tom206wrc]

SS5 started ;)

[Tom206wrc]

Toth retired on SS4 too ??? What a massacre in the S2000s :s


Edit: Toth is here, OK... ;)

[Tom206wrc]

Results SS5 stopped ??? :confused:

[[Madeira-Rally]]

Toth didn't retire.. but I suppose he experienced some problems...

[Tom206wrc]

OK it was problem with the chrono... ;)

[Tom206wrc]

Start last SS of the day soon... :)

[Mirek]

Solowow out, don't know why.

[Mirek]

Kopecký said after shakedown that it would be very difficult for him as he is first time in Ypres and the roads are very specific and very hard for orientation. He said that local knowledge of cutting corners is a big advantage too.

Tlusťák had a crash when he hit a tree by the back of his car. He continues but the smoke is comming into cabin.

[Tom206wrc]

Retirement for Kopecky in SS6 ??? :confused:

[Mirek]

Kopecký crashed. Crew ok.

[Tom206wrc]

Crash for Kopecky :(

Will Solowow and him be back in Superrally tomorrow :confused:

[[Madeira-Rally]]

Hum.. first stage victory for Vouilloz.. and it seems problems for Rossetti

[Tom206wrc]

Rossetti lost 1m30 :eek:

Puncture, off or something else :confused:

[Mirek]

Solowow broken top mount of shock absorber.

[Kurt L.]

Rossetti lost 1m30 :eek:

Puncture, off or something else :confused:

I was at the finish of stage 6 and he had indeed a puncture,a lot of the bodywork was damaged too.I heard later that he had the puncture halfway in the stage and continued the rest of the stage like that ,didn't stop to change the tire.

[pucky54]

I was at the finish of stage 6 and he had indeed a puncture,a lot of the bodywork was damaged too.I heard later that he had the puncture halfway in the stage and continued the rest of the stage like that ,didn't stop to change the tire.

right decision, because he would have lost more time changing the tire

[Tom206wrc]

Tomorrow will be a real day of fight seeing the small gaps everywhere and some very long stages :)

I expect surprises(good and bad)... ;)

[MG Rally]

Mark & Rory actually finshed Stage 6 in 9th Overall & 9th in Class N4 on 48m 46.1s - an excellent drive in a 'budget' S2000 car driven by someone on only his thrid visit to Ypres!

However, I am led to believe that the MG had a fuel leak and by my calculations has had a 1m 50s road penalty added to their time. This unfortuantely drops the car down to 24th Overall at the end of Leg 1!

Stage Notes after SS3 - Mark Higgins - "No petrol anymore at the regroup! They had to push the MG S2000 for 2 kilometres to get to Ypres."

The team will have to be ready for a charge tomorrow, and also hope that there are a few retirements if they are to salvage anything from this rally! They must be absolutely gutted!

[Tom206wrc]

Pitty for Mark :(

[Mirek]

Bútor:
http://www.duen.hu/kepek/foto/080626_ypres/DuEn_Ypres2008_1278.jpg

Kopecký hit some part of a concrete pillar which was in a cutting corner. There is an onboard. Maybe we could see it later...

[Madeira]

Good Morning!!

Mirek:And how it stayed the car?? big damages ??

[Mirek]

I don't know how much damage, but it is not only minor. We'll have some images soon, I hope.

[Tom206wrc]

SS7 starts in about 5 minutes... ;)

[Mirek]

From MP3:
Sola had some gearbox troubles.
Travaglia struggled with setup.
Casier said the car is great after setup change in first servise but that his disadvantage is lower top speed as he is running short gearbox and most of Peugeots medium gearbox (ca 168 versus 175 km/h).

[Madeira]

SS 7- Basso has lost 0,5 sec/km for Peugeot on this stage!!. I think the better choice for him is try to keep the 3rd for now!

[Mirek]

Video Robert Bútor crashing out 20 meters from finish of stage. He'll continue today.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5OTcg1Xjq8U

[Madeira]

Anton Alen and tarmac is not a good mix!

[dimviii]

extreme slow at tarmac...
just imagine if his car wasn t a works one.

[Josti]

Anton Alen and tarmac is not a good mix!

Yes, he didn't inherited that from his father. I expected him much higher in the rankings :\

[Tom206wrc]

Vouilloz tries to reduce the gap, but Loix only gives him less than 1s... :p :

[Madeira]

SS8-Tirabassi suspension troubles, if I'm not wrong...

[Mirek]

Crash of Kopecký is said to be under police investigation. The concrete part is here:

[Tom206wrc]

SS8-Tirabassi suspension troubles, if I'm not wrong...



It doesn't look good for him(like Solowow incident ??) :(

[Tom206wrc]

Tirabassi out in SS9 it seems :mark:

[Tom206wrc]

Retirement for Toth also in SS9 ??? :confused:

[pucky54]

Puncture for Vouilloz?

[Tom206wrc]

Vouilloz in SS10 :eek: :s

[Madeira]

SS10-Bad time for Vouilloz!!!

[dimviii]

Loix now with 1min 13 sec diff from second Casier :o

[Tom206wrc]

Is there the assistance after SS10 :confused:

[pucky54]

Is there the assistance after SS10 :confused:
Service should be after SS 10, 12 and 16

[Mirek]

Good time for Miggins on SS9. He was 5-6th place :)

[Tom206wrc]

Thanks Pucky... ;)

[Mirek]

Sola seems to be out too.

[Jordib]

Someone knows what happened to Dani Solà in SS10?

[Mirek]

Toth damaged suspension. Tirrabassi's shock absorber came through bonnet after hitting something. Princen had slow puncture on SS8.

[Tom206wrc]

Fragile suspensions seems to be the new "black point" of the 207s... :s

[Mirek]

I think that huge cutting in Ypres is the problem, not the car.

[Tom206wrc]

But the Grande Puntos, Polos and MG are in the same situation, therefore they don't seem to be affected by such problem :confused:

[Tom206wrc]

Soon starts SS11... ;)

And just after is the monster stage :mark:

[Mirek]

Sola probably differential problem.

Vouilloz, Travaglia and Betti were off road on SS10.

[Mirek]

According to official website Sola ripped wheel off.

[Tom206wrc]

I fear SS12 :s

[Mirek]

Bettega rolled on SS9.

[Tom206wrc]

Best time for Rox once again :p :

[Tom206wrc]

Split times for SS12(and 18) :)

http://bywr.dyndns.org/splits?ssNbr=12

[dimviii]

:eek: :eek: :eek:
from irc.com
Spain´s Dani Sola (pictured) has been forced to retire from the Ypres Rally following a bizarre accident with Dutch Mitsubishi driver Jasper van den Heuvel. At the beginning of SS11, van den Heuvel was preparing to begin the stage when Sola - who was running late - collided with him before the stage start. ...
The impact damaged the front suspension of Sola's Abarth Grande Punto, meaning that he was unable to continue. Van den Heuvel's Lancer also sustained some damage - but he was at least able to continue.

[Tom206wrc]

Real pitty for Sola :(

[Tom206wrc]

Why final result of SS12 for Anton Alen is so long to come ??? :confused:

[Josti]

Real pitty for Sola :(

And I hope this doesn't effect v/d Heuvel much. He's was doing a good rally so far.

[Tom206wrc]

SS12 results are frozen ???? :confused:

[Mirek]

Everything is there now. Seem that MIggins had some troubles :( Betti had gearbox problem.

[Tom206wrc]

Alright, we finished the middle of last rally leg now(every stage run this morning and recently will be rerun once again)... :)

[Tom206wrc]

Normally SS13 should have started now ;)

[Tom206wrc]

Basso lost quite a lot on that stage :confused:

[Tom206wrc]

Betti seems to have gearbox problem again :mark:

[Tom206wrc]

Rossetti's penalty(10s)has been removed ??? :confused:



Edit: it was a mistake...

[Tom206wrc]

Anton Alen :eek: :s

[Tom206wrc]

Good time from Snijers in SS14 !!! :up:

[Mirek]

Travaglia went off and is out of rally. It seems Miggins is out as well :(

Miggins went 38 km on SS12 without power steering and reported some overheating in the end as well...

[Tom206wrc]

Off road in SS14 for Travaglia :(

[Tom206wrc]

With two stages to go(after SS16), only 8s between Casier, Snijers, Basso and Rossetti :eek: :eek:

[Tom206wrc]

By the way, only nine S2000s left in race after SS16(there were eighteen cars at the start) :s

[Madeira]

Bernd Casier did a really good job this rally, and is nice to see The polo showing this reliability....

[Mirek]

Well, but almost all of them are out after accidents or suspension damage. Nothing special alarming about reliability.

[N.O.T]

the battle for 3rd is amazing !!! stage to go and Cassier has 3rd basso 4th +5sec and then snijers and rosseti less than 1 sec behind him....!!!!!!

[Mirek]

Yes, everything may happen on last stage. All of them must push as hard as possible. Especialy when they don't have splits incar.

[RS]

]Crash of Kopecký is said to be under police investigation.

Why?

Will Kopecky be ok for Russia? I think CRT only have one 207?

[Josti]

On one hand, Snijers on the podium again would be great. On the other, three 207's is a little bit boring. But the fight is great ofcourse!

[Mirek]

RS: Don't know how much the car is damaged.

About the crash. They say it was strange as big iron-concrete part was on the road in a corner, almost in the middle and that the thing was clean, without some clay etc...

[Mirek]

Where is Princen?

[Madeira]

Basso lost too much time...

Edit: and he has a stage penalty..

[Mirek]

Princen overheated engine :(

Basso 1 minute penalty for being early and a mistake on stage as it seems...

Auquier said they struggled with handling in whole rally and don't know why...

[Madeira]

three in row for Peugeot!

[Mirek]

And it's there. Great performance from Luca, he deserves podium even I hoped for Bernd. But anyway congratulation to GTA as fourth place is great result for all René Georges team!

Congrats also to Freddy for being absolutely perfect. I was also pleased by Snijers or Van den Heuvel. What a pitty of Basso or even more of Princen...

[Madeira]

and another big defeat for Fiat against Peugeot...

[dimviii]

great battle with Rosseti again as a winner.
Congrats to Fast Freddy for his win.
Fiats seems they are much slower than 207s as the development at peugeots grow up faster than the italians.

[Wim_Impreza]

]Where is Princen?

He retired with a broken engine.

[Tom206wrc]

I'm delighted by the results :bounce:

[Mirek]

Statement of Kopecký team in short:

They hit an iron-concrete pilar almost in the middle of the road behind the corner. The pillar catapulted the car in the air breaking oil sump guard and damaging engine. Crew was unhurt, medical service with hellicopter was on the place before the crew left the car. The pillar was broken into smaller pieces by the impact.

IRC officials gave onboard video of Nicolas Vouilloz to team kopecký to show that there was nothing like that on the road before. Team Kronos after seeing onboards and talking to Nicolas Voilloz also gave a statement that Nico's driving couln't get such a big concrete pillar on the road.

Team Kopecký doesn't want to make early closing as the whole thing is under investigation.

[Sulland]

Is the Polo faster than the Abarth as of today ?

[Mirek]

In my opinion yes.

[Josti]

Is the Polo faster than the Abarth as of today ?

I don't think so immediately. René Georges is a Belgian based team, so I'm not surprised by this result. They do much of their testing in Belgium. Plus Casier has more knowledge of these roads than say Basso and especially Alén.

On coverage, Casier himself admitted that the Polo misses topspeed against the Peugeot's and Fiat's. I think on gravel, they wouldn't be this close.

[mousti]

Bettega :(
http://images3.fotopic.net/?iid=y6pfb9&outx=800&quality=70

[dimviii]

agree with Josti

[Mirek]

Josti: You're not right completely. They missed top speed agains Peugeots only. Fiats go on short gearbox practicaly everywhere. It is because weak engine of Fiat (which is weaker than VW, that was confirmed by Loix and Czopik last year). Even last year in Finland Alén was going on short gearbox with a top speed of 168 km/h!

Compared to that Peugeots usualy uses medium gearbox. We compared that also on rally Hustopeče in Czech champ. where there Béreš's Fiat was evidently weaker than Kopecký's Peugeot (even by sight). From GPS top speed we know that Kopecký was on medium and Béreš on short gearbox. Even though Peugeot was much beter in slow corners and handbrake turns.

[pucky54]

In Ypres I noticed an important thing out of the tight 90° corners. In the same time the Fiats shift up a gear, the Peugeots shift up two gears. The Peugeots are more aggressive out of the corners, the Fiats seemed to drive on low-rev out of those corners.

[Karbonyl]

Is the Polo faster than the Abarth as of today ?I think it always was :) (faster, but not reliable - which changed luckily :) )

[Mirek]

pucky54: That's all about torque. If You don't have torque, Your rpm rises slower and all the acceleration is slower. Such problem is visible on first gear only as other gears are quite close to one another (and You use power peak), only on first one You can't shift down and need to use lower rpm.

[Mirek]

Onboard crash Kopecký: http://www.mediasport.cz/multimedia/videa/wrc/08ypres_kopecky_6RZ.wmv
Onboard Vouilloz the same place: http://www.mediasport.cz/multimedia/videa/wrc/08ypres_vouilloz_6RZ.wmv

[RS]

great battle with Rosseti again as a winner.
Congrats to Fast Freddy for his win.
Fiats seems they are much slower than 207s as the development at peugeots grow up faster than the italians.

I don't think the Fiat is a lot slower, but it definitely is slower and consistently so. I think Peugeot had a bit of a driver advantage in Belgium, so Russia will be very interesting to see how the Pug drivers match up to Alen.

The level of competition is so high in IRC that even a small difference adds up to a bad result for Fiat.

Fantastic pics Juha :bounce:

[wwbroe]

I'm also back from Ypres, where i was for almost the whole week. We've seen an awesome rally, with a more than deserved winner. Fast Freddy did make the difference on friday when he did almost all the fastest times, except on the Langemark stage where Kopecky went off and they showed yellow flag, so Freddy calmed down a litlle. That is the reason he didn't make fastest time there, but only for a few tenth's of a second. He controlled the rally on saturday, alltough there was that gearbox problem and he lost fifth gear. But the guys off Kronos did great job and changed the gearbox without any penalty taken. After that Freddy cruised to victory.
Also great rally of Voullioz and off-course Rosetti who managed to go from 11th to 3th overall, taking a lot of fastest times on saturday. It is a pitty that he doesn't do all rounds off the championship, but i guess that is good news for Voullioz and Loix.
I can also tell you that we had an awesome afterparty in the tent of the Freddy Loix Fanclub, those guys did really do a fantastic job, including last-minute-made T-shirts. It was an awesome party and i am still carrying the consequenties off it with me. :) :D ;)

[PLuto]

I must agree, that afterparty was really crazy :D

[wwbroe]

I must agree, that afterparty was really crazy :D

Hi Pluto, were you there also? It was about seven o'clock in the morning when i left, and i must say that i was rather drunk :D

[PLuto]

Hi Pluto, were you there also? It was about seven o'clock in the morning when i left, and i must say that i was rather drunk :D

Yes, I was there, but only for a while, when I was waiting for opening Parc Ferme to pick up a car. In time, when you left that party, we were leaving Ypres, because our way home was veeeeeeeeery long.

:) .. hey Guys.. was maybe not the right time to speak with me.... had a little bit of stress at that moment.... ;)

Well Jack, it turned out quite well after all, i mean with fourth place overall,so no worries. ;) Will Casier be driving in Madeira, or don't you know about his program in IRC for the rest of the year?

we have an option to go to Madeira, but the problem is that Bernd can not have his regular co-driver so he will probabely skip the event, we go for sure to the Barum rally (maybe with 2 cars) , and normally we do San Remo and Valais. we also have some cars availeble for other drivers so we also look at those options to continue in the IRC. i think we showed that the car has potential, even when it was in Belgium, you still have to be the faster one in the end and we believe we can have some good positions in the other irc events....

Me too, i am convinced that you could make good results in other IRC rounds! Hope to see you guys in Barum, San Remo and Valais. Keep up the good work. ;)

You must decide very quickly because the the entries will be finished next monday...There are so many co-drivers to replace Miclotte, the problem should be other...€€€€! ;)
I hope you can change the decision...(finger crossed)

No, the only way to do Madeira is with the regular co-driver, you need him to have a good result in Madeira.... Budget is NOT the problem...

i think you need to find a co-pilot for Jan Molder in WRC Finland because it is there that Bernd Casiers co-pilot is co-driving with the Swift S1600.. and because of that he can not be in Madeira !
