[wwbroe]

Who do you guys think will be the main contenders for the BF Goodrich drive in the Barum Rally in august. I am looking forward to visiting Tsjechie once again. :D

[Filip]

I think they'll have to chose between Valoušek and Orsak, Valuošek definetly deserves the oportunity and Orsak is also a very promising young driver who improves from race to race. I'm sure it will be a very exciting rally as the competition in Czech championship is very high this year and everybody is pushing to the limit. :D

I was already Barum Rally in 2001 and I am going again this year.

Will Pech, Kresta or Prokop not compete for the BFGoodrich drive?

[PLuto]

Will Pech, Kresta or Prokop not compete for the BFGoodrich drive?

No, they wont compete in this project.

[Filip]

This is a sign: :D

Does anybody off our Czech collegues have the stages of Barum rally 2008 in Google Earth, or even in Garmin Mapsource format, or any other usuable format. As i will be coming to Zlin in august, it would be a great help to me for preparing the rally. Thanks in advance guys. :)

I wanted to do that for fans but I do not know yet what will be the final form of special stages (only Pluto knows it because he is a member of the organiser team - but unfortunatelly he is tight-lipped). And there is not any possibility how to get info about special stages from the organisers. Please, wait until the official printed programme will be released (probably one week before the event) and I will switch-on my GPS receiver then....

I will let you know here in the forum.

It looks like there are 24 names on the Kronos BFGoodrich driver list for Barum :confused:

Tom, where did you get this information, and do you know wich names ar on the BF Goodrich list? ;)

[wwbroe]

After his convincing victory in Kopna Rallysprint, do you think that Kresta will switch to Peugeot for Barum Rally? It would be great to see what he can do there, compared to all major title-candidates for IRC-crown. :D

[PLuto]

Yes, Roman is talking for a long time, that he will use Peugeot 207 S2000 on Barum Rally. And this car wont be from TRT.

Do you maybe know what car will he use? And why not from TRT? Reliability I guess. :confused:

Thanks Pluto :up:

Although I don't know most of them anyway :p :


Edit: why Petàk on the list ?? He's already driving his own 207... :confused:

[Mirek]

Tom: Why not to try to go for free...

Filip: It's not clear yet but he wants top car.

[GTA]

we are trying to find a driver for the 2nd Polo S2000 but is not easy.... and the entry is closing soon... but with one we should be able to make it in the top 5... ;) ....

[PLuto]

GTA, persuade Kakuszi, he will be in Zlin ;)

[GTA]

GTA, persuade Kakuszi, he will be in Zlin ;)

i know... he is with us in Zlin but only looking not driving... :) .. just enjoying the country i think... ;)

[PLuto]

I know. He was here only once some years ago (with your team), but from that time he is going only to watch, not to race.

BF Goodrich Drivers Team driver: Pavel Valoušek

Great choice! :up: first time a young talent was chosen!

Is Valousek a promising good driver(I don't really know him) ??? :confused:

[Filip]

Great news! I hope he can score some impressive result now. He has the speed and I will enjoy watching him! :) :)

[Wim_Impreza]

Is Valousek a promising good driver(I don't really know him) ??? :confused:

You don't know one of the best Czech drivers? This year he had some podium finishes in Czech Rally Championship with a (much) smaller budget than Kresta and Pech. He did the JWRC in 2005 and 2006.

[wwbroe]

I just saw that entries are closing tomorrow wednesday 30/08 at 06.00pm. Does anybody have an idea how many entries are made and wich are the main contenders. It seems like they have allready 18 S2000 entries? That is really great and we can look forward to another great battle for victory. ;)

[Mirek]

They said it was only 72 crews entered 3 days before closing entries (18 S2000, 11 nationalities).

[wwbroe]

]They said it was only 72 crews entered 3 days before closing entries (18 S2000, 11 nationalities).

The total amount of entries is maybe a little surprising, but with 18 S2000 allready entered, i don't think you can complain? ;)

[wwbroe]

The entries are closed now normally. So any last minute surprises or unexpected entries? ;)

[Mirek]

You must wait for another week ;) Anyway Pluto said there was more than 100 crews...

[CEORacingLions]

No news about entries ?

[wwbroe]

I think entrylist will come out on 11th of august. ;)

[Mirek]

Pavel Valoušek will be testing BFG car tomorrow and day after in Belgium.

[PLuto]

I think entrylist will come out on 11th of august. ;)

Yes, entry list will be published on Monday August 11th. But I must say, it will be very nice entry list :D

[Filip]

It is a pity, but on entry list there is nobody from Croatia :mad:

[Plhus]

Roman Kresta starting with 207 from Hungary (TRT)!! :cool:

[Filip]

It is a pity, but on entry list there is nobody from Croatia :mad:

Yes, I know, but situation in our championship is very difficult, we have a very stupid calendar and just 3 rallies in Croatia, while the others are in Slovenia and Austria. Most of our drivers unfortunately can't afford that because their sponsors aren't interested in promotion outside Croatia.
Also rumors say that Juraj Šebalj quit rallying as he became a father recently.
But that won't stop me from coming to Zlin because the atmosphere there is fantastic and the race will be good for sure. :) :D

[Filip]

Do you know what livery will the car have? Tescoma again or something else?

I know situation in your championship, I was talking to drivers during INA Delta. Sebalj told, that after born of his child he will make a break in rallying.

[PLuto]

Yes, Tesoma again.

[wwbroe]

This is really awesome entrylist, by far the best in IRC sofar. Not only on quality but certainly also on quantity. Great job off the organisators of Barum Rally. :up: :up: :up:

[Filip]

I haven't seen such a good entrylist for a long time. :) Congratulations to the organisers and let's hope that everyone comes. For me the biggest surprises are Bouffier,Kostka and Robert, I wonder if Kostka can finish in top ten?

[wwbroe]

I thought Loix was there also, if I'm not wrong :rolleyes:

Here you can find some videofootage of that test:

Good luck for everybody.

[[Madeira-Rally]]

Impressive entry list!

Can't wait for the start of the rally :)

[karlzoro]

Will Tirabassi be there??? 100%???
I thought he quit the IRC this year after an other dissapointing result in Madeira???

[Tom206wrc]

FANTASTIC entrylist :eek: :bounce:

Hey Tom, where have you been, long time since we heard anything of you. :D

[teufel]

Where comes Kresta's Pug from?

[Mirek]

It is from Tagai. It should be the same one he drove on Kopna.

[teufel]

]It is from Tagai. It should be the same one he drove on Kopna.

Interesting, hasn't he said, that he would like to drive a top car and that one he drove is not a top car?

[Mirek]

There were some other variants but some of them were too expensive. Anyway Kresta was satisfied with TRT work after Kopna and it is believed they offered very good price as well (some say they also prommised new stronger engine for Barum). Kresta himself never said TRT car wasn't good. It was more general forum stance than anything real.

[Tom206wrc]

Remind me tomorrow pls, I forgot to ask for it :)

[Tom206wrc]

Can't wait for the rally to start :bounce:

[Mirek]

Silvestr Mikulastik (N14) will probably not start as he damaged his car on test. Also Lukas Pondelicek (C2 R2) will not start as he crashed heavily on Rally Prachatice this weakend. Some doubts are about Martin Semerad who also rolled in Prachatice. The team is trying hard to repair the car...

[Tom206wrc]

And of course Brice Tirabassi won't be there neither :mark:

[jparker]

First IRC tarmak outing for Krum Donchev this year. After winning Rally Bulgaria with his new 207 S2000, two weeks ago he managed to take another win agains Dimitar Iliev for the national championship. He was 3.6 seconds faster. Here is close look of his car (http://www.donchev-sport.com/gallery.html)

[Filip]

Is this the final livery for Barum?

[[Madeira-Rally]]

Is this the final livery for Barum?

I think not... that was the livery he used in Rally Sofia, his first event with the 207 from Racing Lions...
Now his car is a little bit different...

I suppose his car will be like this..

According to Autoklub.pl Perico will be missing too :(

[Filip]

Does that mean Grzyb or Tarabus won't be there? Or JM Engineering has 3 puntos? :confused:

[Mirek]

Kostka should drive some Italian Punto. Probably it wasn't in Czech republic yesterday.

Lubomír Minařík is missing too.

[[Madeira-Rally]]

It's a pity Robert and Perico absence in Barum :(

What about Semerad Jr. ? they recovered his car?

[Filip]

I think Semerad jr. will start.

[Mirek]

Yes, the car should be ok.

Jan Šlehofer will drive second - older Punto S1600 as his orange car is said not to be repaired after Pelhřimov crash. Therefore Jiří Skoupil who should drive the second one will not start.

You see "Panizzi" is named in the back windows on The Punto at the Kostka test :D

I hope that Kopecky will run shakedown and that the time will be published :)

[Tom206wrc]

Pitty the forfeits :(

But rally is still promising a great show :p :

[Salist]

Help please...

Can somebody help me? How much the pass and I can pay with EUR ?

Thanks.

[Filip]

The entrance card is 170 kč (approx. 7.5 euros)and you can access all stages, service and so on. Last year I paid in kč, but they probably accept Euros also.

[Mirek]

Tóth will probably use the same settings as Kresta. Kresta is satisfied with test and TRT work :)

[karlzoro]

Kresta will be quick, he was quick last year even when he was in a Mitsubishi.

That true, Pech was also quick last year...but i think that the S2000's are a lot quicker than last year...

[wwbroe]

Hey Kevin, it is true that the S2000 cars are a lot quicker than last year, but i think Pech will be fast also. Anyhow, we arrived yesterday and did some recce of the stages, they are very fast and some also very bumpy, really nice stages. In the evening we went to scruteneering where we met with some other forummembers. Great atmosphere in Zlin, we are leaving to shakedown in a short while. See you. ;)

[[Madeira-Rally]]

There is any news about shakedown times???

[[Madeira-Rally]]

Some shakedown flash news.
-Alen had power sterring problems in his car... but the team fixed it...
-Jaromir Tarabus had mechanical problems in his Punto...
-Travaglia, Basso, Loix, Rossetti and Ojeda went really fast
-Kopecky wasn't pushing very hard (maybe to hide the real potential of Fabia S2000)
-Beres and Solowow had some small off...

[wwbroe]

Shakedown was really nice and representative for stages. The fastest men were Vouilloz, Loix and Kopecky. There was a chicane halfway on very fast section, Beres and Solowow went off there and had some damage. Up to ceremonial start now and then later on to super special stage. :)

[HaCo]

Hmmm, where are the shakedown times? Hope Loix can catch up in this rally...

[[Madeira-Rally]]

Hmmm, where are the shakedown times? Hope Loix can catch up in this rally...

Las year he was going quite well until he had a puncture.. but this year the entries are stronger... let's see what he can do.. I think it will be very difficult to see Loix at the top... maybe he will go like he did in Madeira this year.

[HaCo]

Yeah Madeira, I'm getting the feeling Loix has lost the pace a bit. But I still hope he will show me wrong. :)

[polo10]

No shakedown times yet? why?

[Tom206wrc]

Anyway, can't wait the rally to start :p :

Go Vouilloz and Bouffier :)

[HaCo]

I've read an interview of Casier, He says the superspecial this evening is a hard one, with 9.36 longer then regular superspecials...

Live broadcast anywhere, maybe on internet?

[[Madeira-Rally]]

20 min. left for the first SS.

This SS is a little bit different from the usual superspecial stages of other rallys... it's a 9 kms stage... so.. everyone should be pushing very hard since first SS

[qwerty47]

Hi, I am living near Zlín but I must miss watching Barum rally because of concussion, so I post here some useful links :
http://www.onisystem.cz/rallyzive/rally-barum-zlin/1_stage - you can see by GPS, where the crews are now - It looks like Butor and Vosahlo are lost. :-)

http://www.play.cz/listen/listen.php?sh=kisspublikum&bitrate=128&stype=WMA - here will be live coverage in car of no.23 Jaromír Tarabus (Fiat Grande Punto S2000) and no.109 Daniel Vladyka (Honda Civic VTi N2).

http://mmcr.vysledky-rally.cz/rallysport/2008/erc/barum/1mmcr.html - RESULTS.

http://www.vinter.cz/webcam.htm - webcam, near the skyscraper rally take place, be pleased for only seeing the lights....

[[Madeira-Rally]]

It look's like Butor is having some problems...
he still stopped in the GPS :(

[qwerty47]

]It look's like Butor is having some problems...

Now it looks like he´s in the start place.

[[Madeira-Rally]]

Now it looks like he´s in the start place.

I hope it was only a GPS error... ;)

[qwerty47]

Many drivers look they are lost according to GPS coverage....they are going to parking place another way many drivers....

[[Madeira-Rally]]

There is many drivers loosing too much time in this SS... maybe they aren't taking any risks... but... it's too much time..for example Bouffier lost really lot of time!

[[Madeira-Rally]]

Qwerty... you know what happened with Basso???
He lost 30 sec. :s

[wwbroe]

He had a puncture at right rear side, i saw it on SSS. There are a lot of big time differences allready. Caviglioli broke a wheel in stage because he hit a rail. We will see tomorrow, but i think it will be very hard for Fiat crews. Looks like Pug's are really very much in front on this rally. The SSS was very crowdede but less spectators then last year. We will see tomorrow how it will go. I am going to sleep now. :D

[playmo]

Damn! missed the SSS hell!
Well, i wonder why Kopecky is not running?

He was running, but in front of all other cars, i mean that it was run in reverse order. So he was in SS in front of everybody else. I don't know his time on this stage, as they are not publishing any times, but i will take some split times of Kopecky to see how he is doing compared to the other S2000 cars. ;)

[qwerty47]

Yes, Basso had a puncture because of hitting the traffic sign and is now 28th. The only driver who did not complete SSS was Tomas Pletka with Citroen C2 R2.

[HaCo]

Look at this, stage 2 can be followed as well:
http://www.onisystem.cz/rallyzive/rally-barum-zlin/2_stage

Are there split times as well?

[qwerty47]

Splits should be there http://mmcr.vysledky-rally.cz/rallysport/2008/erc/barum/13mmcr.html
you must click on the sign of time-watches. They should be on stages 3, 7 Zádveřice and 10, 13 Komárov.

[qwerty47]

Stage 2 already started! Good luck to every driver and co-driver.

[HaCo]

Kresta off?

[[Madeira-Rally]]

Problems for Kresta...

Basso passed him... on GPS
And... I'm not sure.. but it loo's like Basso lost some time to pass Kresta.. (or it was only a GPS delay)

[qwerty47]

Oh no! I believe in GPS error....

[[Madeira-Rally]]

Maybe GPS is ok.. he is moving now.. but lost a lot of time :(

[HaCo]

Kresta runnin again, but behind Basso.

[HaCo]

On the map, it is great querty, but it would be nice I think if you could in a table (or directly on the point) when the last info arrived of that point. Like this you could see if there is an error or not.

[HaCo]

Roman Kresta (2) crashed.

From the results site :(

[[Madeira-Rally]]

Kresta is stopped again...
Maybe he is having problems in his TRT Peugeot...

Strange... there is no sign of Travaglia on GPS...
Pech is running now... I'm a little bit curious to see his time!

[teufel]

]Kresta is stopped again...
Maybe he is having problems in his TRT Peugeot...

crashing because of the car?

[HaCo]

Yep, Loix faster than Vouilloz, only slightly: .6 secs

[[Madeira-Rally]]

crashing because of the car?
No... when I wrote that post, we didn' had the info Kresta crashed ;)
I was thinking he was having techical problems

[[Madeira-Rally]]

According to GPS, problems for Luca rossetti too.. Ojeda and Bouffier passed him... What a start of the rally!!!!

If I'm not wrong... Rossetti is stopped in the same place as Kresta stopped for the frist time in GPS

[Tom206wrc]

:(

[[Madeira-Rally]]

With Rosetti it was a GPS error... he set 3rd fastest time... just 0.8 behind Loix..

[Tom206wrc]

Rossetti is here(3rd fastest) stop making me scared Madeira-Rally :D

[Karbonyl]

Oops, that looks nice...

[HaCo]

Oops, that looks nice...
I mean, that DOESN'T look nice! sorry :(

[Tom206wrc]

Why are results so long to come ??? :confused:

[[Madeira-Rally]]

It look's like GPS system stopped working :s

[[Madeira-Rally]]

Loix fastest again...
And Basso don't have pace for Peugeot boys

[teufel]

Great time by Janos Toth! :up:

[Tom206wrc]

SS3 running, Loix is again gaining time on Vouilloz ;)

[Tom206wrc]

Problems for Tarabus and Odlozilik :mark:

[[Madeira-Rally]]

Great time by Janos Toth! :up:

Yes... really great time for him!!!
Nice to see Toth very close to Bouffier... and Basso..

Also very nice time for Kostka ;)

[Tom206wrc]

Good time from Ojeda and Bouffier on SS3 too(in front of Rossetti), not far overall behind Pech and Valousek :)

[HaCo]

I expected more from Casier in the VW...

[[Madeira-Rally]]

I expected more from Casier in the VW...

Yes...me too

[HaCo]

They 71km without service, only refuel. Vouilloz is back on the stage!

[Tom206wrc]

Results SS3frozen again :mark:

[HaCo]

If you see the stage on the map, you would wonder why they didn't make stage 4 a bit longer: to the big road, just before it flight finnish. Cross the road and start the next stage. :)


Vouilloz not moving any more?

[Eyvind]

Tarabus out by engine problems
:(

[Tom206wrc]

No results SS4 ??? :confused:

[Jarek Z]

I expected more from Casier in the VW...

Casier is not doing so bad, look at Alen in the factory car who is currently down in the 15th place, behind many unexperienced private drivers...

[[Madeira-Rally]]

Live stage times aren't working... it's only for me???

[Karbonyl]

There is a wrong route map of RZ Semetin at http://www.onisystem.cz/rallyzive/rally-barum-zlin/4_stage. The SS goes around the Drastihlava hill and has the finish at the beginning of Hostalkova village.

[HaCo]

]Live stage times aren't working... it's only for me???

Same here...

They are already at the start of the next stage.

[Tom206wrc]

No it doesn't work with me neither :rolleyes:

[Eyvind]

Kostka really fantastic in SS 2 & 3 ! :) 11th overall !

[Tom206wrc]

So what about that short SS4 :confused:

[HaCo]

So what about that short SS4 :confused:

Big differences and first fastest time for Basso!!! 2 faster than Vouilloz and 4 then Loix! Now 27km to go!!

[Tom206wrc]

Basso best time for now in front of Vouilloz and Loix... ;)

SS5 also running

[Eyvind]

Rossetti fastest in SS4 !! 1.3" than Basso

[[Madeira-Rally]]

SS 5 is big.. 27.48 kms... let's see what Basso can do agains Peugeot boys...

[Eyvind]

Bouffier second in SS4! Fantastic Bryan.

In S1600 class Tlustak beats Beres after SS3

[[Madeira-Rally]]

Problem for Alen in SS4 ???
He lost 46.9 to the winner... :s

[Eyvind]

SS5 times online now!

Vouilloz 15:34,5
Basso 17:35,4 :confused: :eek:

[[Madeira-Rally]]

For sure problems for Basso once again.. :(

Maybe a puncture or something...

[HaCo]

Wonder if Loix lost time being right behind Basso (he lost exactly 2 minutes), or is it a timing mistake maybe?

[Eyvind]

Pech lost more than a minute :(

[[Madeira-Rally]]

For sure something wrong with Pech too... he lost about 1 minute to Vouilloz...

Very hard rally!!

[Eyvind]

Very very exciting battle between Donchev and Isik, with a difference of 00.1" after SS5

[[Madeira-Rally]]

Bouffier is at the endo fot the stage with fastest stage time..
But Rossetti is missing :s

EDIT: there are some strange delays in live results system...

[HaCo]

Rosetti has arrived, 9secs slower than Bouffier. Pitty top 5 is only peugeot, but still in 50 secs.

[Eyvind]

5 Peugeot in top 5

[[Madeira-Rally]]

Another nice result for Toth...
He is really close to Valda in the overall standings

[Kurt L.]

5 Peugeot in top 5

make that 7 in top 7

[[Madeira-Rally]]

5 Peugeot in top 5

I would say..
7 Peugeot in top 8!! :s mokin:

[Eyvind]

]Another nice result for Toth...

Only Renato & Grzyb survive for Fiat!

Alen OUT ?

[[Madeira-Rally]]

Casier and Orsák lost a lot of time too...

[Eyvind]

Also problems for Casier

[Tom206wrc]

Spectacular SS5 for Peugeot !!! Top 7 are driving a 207 after that stage :eek: :eek:

[Eyvind]

Alen arrives with more than 18 minutes lost.

[Madeira]

Any report about stage times for Kopecky?
Thank You!

[Eyvind]

Nice rally for Tibor Cserhalmi, second Mitsu behind Pech and 13th overall

[pejda]

http://www.ewrc.cz/images/2008/barum/krecra1.jpg

[Tom206wrc]

Really pitty about Kresta who could have fought for the lead if not mistake... :(

[Karbonyl]

There is strong embargo about Kopecky's stage times, timekeepers are forbidden to measure Fabia's times at the stages.

[[Madeira-Rally]]

Take a look at GPS
http://www.onisystem.cz/rallyzive/rally-barum-zlin/5_stage#

Basso is stopped after SS5 :(

[Madeira]

There is strong embargo about Kopecky's stage times, timekeepers are forbidden to measure Fabia's times at the stages.

But if someone could take on the stage a manual intermediate timming measure we can have an idea about the potential of Fabia...

[RS]

But if someone could take on the stage a manual intermediate timming measure we can have an idea about the potential of Fabia...

Get one person at the startline with a mobile phone to ring someone at the finish line who starts a stopwatch? Of course that doesn't stop Jan slowing down before the finish line...

[Karbonyl]

Yes, it could be possible, but the probable way is that Skoda's own people are measuring Fabia and its opponenst just at selected sections of the stages - I guess Kopecky is not pushing at all the length of the stages.

[Eyvind]

According to online results, Alen retired after SS 5 due to gearbox failure.

[Wim_Impreza]

Casier had a flat tyre in SS5 and after that, he goes a bit off road. Pech is out of the rally with a broken turbo after SS5.

[[Madeira-Rally]]

Basso is out of the rally too with a gear box failure :s

[Karbonyl]

As Vaclav Pech retired from Barum Rally, Roman Kresta became this year's Czech national champion.

[Eyvind]

Loix 9 seconds fastest than Vouilloz in SS6 !! New leader of the rally

[[Madeira-Rally]]

Fantastic time by Loix...

9 seg. faster than Vouilloz and now he is on the lead!

[pucky54]

Vouilloz stopped after SS6?

[HaCo]

Great time by Loix!!! :D

[Tom206wrc]

Yep, congrats to belgian fans even if rally isn't over yet ;)

[pucky54]

Bouffier out?

[HaCo]

Yep, congrats to belgian fans even if rally isn't over yet ;)

Still a looooong way to go. Hope Casier recovers well.

More pics of Kresta: http://www.ewrc.cz/ewrc/show.php?id=9334 I would have loved to see him competing against the other IRC drivers.

[HaCo]

Vouilloz is 4 secs faster than first run... (on ss7)

[[Madeira-Rally]]

Fast Freddy is back..
another fastest time for him (in comaprison with Vouilloz)

[Tom206wrc]

Fast Freddy again fastest on SS7 :)

[Tom206wrc]

And Donchev passes Isik after SS7!!! :bounce:

[Tom206wrc]

10s penalty for Luca Betti :confused:

[[Madeira-Rally]]

Kronos drivers are starting to build a "safety" margin to the other Peugeot's...

[HaCo]

According to pitstop.tv website, Rosseti has problems with the car in front of him: he's catching up the car and looses time because of it.

[[Madeira-Rally]]

10s penalty for Luca Betti :confused:

He had an off in SS5, maybe he lost some time in service park fixing the front of the car...

[pucky54]

According to pitstop.tv website, Rosseti has problems with the car in front of him: he's catching up the car and looses time because of it.

Yes, Beres starts in front of him.

[[Madeira-Rally]]

From Barum Rally website
Luca ROSSETTI (Peugeot 207 S2000, st. no. 12)
“I was driving right behind Bérešem for four kilometers. It kept us a lot. I wasn’t able to drive him up. I don’t want to accuse him of anything. The problem is in the system and FIA regulations.“

[Wim_Impreza]

The first not-Peugeots are almost 2 minutes behind after SS7. They are again so dominating. Where are the people that WRC is boring with only 4 factory teams? IRC is a real Peugeot show all year 2008.

[[Madeira-Rally]]

Fast Freddy is really back... another 2.5 sec faster than Vouilloz
