S2000 summary

[Tom206wrc]

According to Autosprint(italian motorsport magazine), Alessandro Broccoli's team would buy two 207 S2000s to run next year italian gravel rallies championship ;)

[Sardalense]

Stephane Sarrazin will drive a Peugeot 207 S2000 in the last round of the Portuguese rally championship, Rally do Algarve, to help Peugeot in the manufactures championship.

Hey.Good news.Will he drive 207 in future?I mean in next season?

[Sardalense]

Hey.Good news.Will he drive 207 in future?I mean in next season?

Just this rally.

[Jarek Z]

Will Miguel Campos drive Peugeot 207 S2000 too?

[Tom206wrc]

Will Miguel Campos drive Peugeot 207 S2000 too?



I really hope so!!! :mark:


But Stéphane Sarrazin is a very good idea too :D

[Sardalense]

Will Miguel Campos drive Peugeot 207 S2000 too?

I don´t know, let´s wait for the entry list that, I think, will be released friday.

[Tom206wrc]

Sarrazin's teammate Pedro Lamy will also drive a 207 S2000 as car number 0 !!! :D

[Sardalense]

Sarrazin's teammate Pedro Lamy will also drive a 207 S2000 as car number 0 !!! :D

Pedro Lamy will drive a Peugeot 206 RC as car number 0.

[Tom206wrc]

Pedro Lamy will drive a Peugeot 206 RC as car number 0.




In fact they write 207 RC on Ralis.Online :confused:

[HaCo]

LOL, the endurance racers want rally? :-)

[Tom206wrc]

Didier Auriol(codriven by Denis Giraudet)will drive a Toyota Corolla S2000 on next week Monza Rally Show(Italy) :eek: :D

Peugeot-Sport Italy will also send there their driver Luca Rossetti in the 207 S2000 ;)

I don't know if there will be other(s) S2000(s) :confused:

[HaCo]

Awesome! Does Auriol have experience with non-turbo charged motors?

[Tom206wrc]

Awesome! Does Auriol have experience with non-turbo charged motors?



I don't think so ;)

To my knowledge he only drove WRCs and perhaps GrN... :confused:

[Sardalense]

He drove a group N Subaru Impreza in the Rally of Portugal 2005.

[Josti]

MG Metro 6R4 in 1986. Long time ago though :)

[sal]

Group 1 RS2000 before that!

[PLuto]

MG Metro 6R4 in 1986. Long time ago though :)

Yes, he was French champion in 1986 with that car.

Why not? How long can you drive in a circle for Christ's sake! ;)

[HaCo]

Why not? How long can you drive in a circle for Christ's sake! ;)

LOL, you're right!! :)

[Tom206wrc]

Wow !!! At least four S2000s(perhaps five)on last round of french tarmac rallies championship next week(Rallye du Var) :eek:

Two 207s(Tirabassi, Pressac both under the BSA colors), two Grande Puntos(Marty, Mermet both under the AutoMecaSport colors) :D

And perhaps also Enjolras again(in the Twister-Corse 207 like at the Cévennes) ;)

All S2000s should run the Michelin trophy...

[HaCo]

Very nice replacement for the allready older Kit cars, wonder if they can handle those and the celica gr a's.

[Mirek]

Would some Portuguese be so kind and send me some photos of Pereira's Polo S2000 on email [email:15xon7iu]mirekfric@centrum.cz[/email:15xon7iu]? Thanks

I expect Eric Mauffrey and Michel Boetti to be as fast as if not faster than the S2000s in their 306 Maxis though... :mark:

Hopefully you are right, the 306 Maxi is for me the most beautiful Peugeot ever. The sound is also very good.

The MG Super 2000 should be in Ireland right now, looking forward to some pics of the tarmac version!!

[Tom206wrc]

:p :

I'm referring to a paragraph, but as I don't know polish I ask confirmation :D

[Speedbitz]

Does anyone know of any IRC s2000 teams entering PWRC in 2008?

[Tom206wrc]

I guess on selected events of WRC there will be S2000s(like in Rally of Portugal this year with Magalhaes and Fontès or Rally Finland with Alen Jr,...) ;)

But in full PWRC no idea :confused:

[Eyvind]

Ex-TRA(Trofeo Rally Asfalto)drivers Felice Re and Tobia Cavallini will drive S2000 cars last round of the CIR(Campionato Italiano Rally)next week(Rally di Como) !!! :D


Felice Re(who unsuccesfully drove a Skoda Fabia WRC on TRA)will drive a Fiat Grande Punto S2000 while Tobia Cavallini(who drove a Subaru Impreza WRC on TRA and an Impreza GrN on a few selected CIR events) will drive the newly Tam-Auto 207 S2000... ;)

The Fiat S-2000 of Felice Re is the car of JM Engineering (14R-0111)

Yes, he is speaking about 207 S2000. But he doesnt know, if he will start in rally or hillclimb.

[PLuto]

Does anyone know of any IRC s2000 teams entering PWRC in 2008?

I dont think so. IRC is more interesting for them.

[HaCo]

I dont think so. IRC is more interesting for them.

Maybe Anton Alen will?

[PLuto]

Maybe Anton Alen will?

Maybe. Everything will depends on strategy of Fiat. But Anton prefer IRC. (but if possible, he would like to start on all rallies :) )

[Tom206wrc]

What a shame !!! No Miguel Campos on the entrylist of Rali Casino do Algarve(published today) !!! :(

Why did he test the 207 with Bruno Magalhaes then :confused:

[PLuto]

They wanted to put him into second car of Peugeot Portugal. But in this car there will be Sarrazin.

check your e-mail inbox.... :)

[Sardalense]

I sent yesterday some pictures either.

[Mirek]

Thanks to all ;)

[Tom206wrc]

Wow !!! At least four S2000s(perhaps five)on last round of french tarmac rallies championship next week(Rallye du Var) :eek:
...




I was a bit too optimistic !! :mark:

There will be "only" three S2000s on the Rallye du Var next week:
-Olivier Marty(Grande Punto)
-Philippe Mermet(Grande Punto)
-Brice Tirabassi(207)


But the fight will still be interesting to follow ;)

[Tom206wrc]

By the way, a few results of rallies in Italy this week-end :p :

On the Rally de Como(CIR), Renato Travaglia(Grande Punto)finished 2nd overall(behind Gianfico on a Mitsu Lancer GrN), Tobia Cavallini(207) 7th, Felice Re(Grande Punto)8th, and Corrado Fontana(Grande Punto)10th...

On the Ronde di Albenga, Vittorio Cha(207)finished 5th overall behind and in front of WRC cars...

Some news from Poland. Mariusz Malyszczycki (who won second division trophy this year) wants to compete in Polish championship next year with either Fiat Punto or Peugeot 207 S2000 (if he finds additional money).

Grzegorz Grzyb (http://www.rallyonline.pl/ft.php?idg=2523&pg_[go]=34) will enter Slovakian championship next year with S2000 car as well. He said that his manager in Slovakia already found sponsors for this project. Grzyb would like to compete with the same car also in Poland, but nothing is decided yet.

Maciej Lubiak (http://www.rallyonline.pl/ft.php?idg=2585&pg_[go]=10) decided to leave Fiat Poland team, but the team still want to continue their rally project.

It says that according to last rumors in 2008. Ford will enter IRC with Fiesta S2000. Australian team Pirtek is waiting for an international homologation and that 2008. will be a learning year for them.

[Tom206wrc]

Interesting and strange rumour read on Autosport-Portugal website, Madeira champion Vitor Sà could leave his current Fiat Grande Punto S2000 for a Peugeot 207(from Barroso team) on next year championship :confused:

According to Echappement magazine of november, Mathieu Biasion(french nefiew of the famous italian driver Massimo "Micky" Biasion)will drive a 207 S2000 on 8 events of the 2008 IRC !!! :eek:

Fiat Punto S2000 from Zlin won another rally. This time it's Damian Gielata who won a local Cieszynska Barborka Rally in Poland during the last weekend.

[Tom206wrc]

At last !!! MotorsportForums is back :rolleyes:


Last week-end, first victory in the 207 for Janika on the Mikulas Rallye(Hungary) !!! :bounce:

It was also the first czech outing for several S2000s(Prague rallysprint), and Tomas Kostka(Grande Punto)finished 4th overall, just in front of Jozef petak(207)5th overall ;)

Less success for the S2000s on the Rajd Barborka in Poland, as the best of them(Bryan Bouffier in the Kronos 207)only takes 8th overall(Michal Solowow in the Grande Punto was 10th overall)... :mark:


This coming week-end not to miss the Ronde PreAlpi Mastershow(Italy) with three S2000s, two 207s(Luca Rossetti and Alfredo de Dominicis)and one Grande Punto(Tomas Kostka)... :D

[Mirek]

Tom: Those were not important events and results say nothing.

But, yes, Petak was nicely fast. On the only real stage (and very slippery) he was 3rd, 2nd and 4th with only WRC's infront of him (Triner - Octavia, Pech - Corolla, Trneny - Fabia). Once he even defeated Pech :) On Strahov circuit stage he lost a lot of time when he did more than two rounds on Tuohino's rear bumper (Evo 9) and he also made a spin there. But we saw that Petak enjoyed Peugeot very much :) Kostka was also fast, not such sideways but agresive. He also had to go behind some gr.N car some round. He's circuit driver but very good in rally too even he starts very rarely.

Is it sure that Kostka starts in Italy?

[Tom206wrc]

Incredible how italian teams are the most active europeans in running S2000 cars :eek:

Tom, a friend told me that Medici going to be in the CIR 2008 with the 207 S-2000 of Twister Corse.

Bologna is a test for Medici... good test so far :D

[soprano]

You mean in the 2008 slovenian rallies championship Soprano ?? :confused:

It´s just a rumor and it doesn`t say anything about that. We can expect official announcement about Jereb`s program for 2008 in next few weeks. My opinion is that he´s not interested in slovenian championship anymore. I think his options for 2008 are PWRC, IRC or ERC. For him as tarmac specialist, PWRC with just gravel and snow rallyes, is not very good option. He needs lot more driving on those two surfaces to be successful. We`ll see. It`s just my opinion. He lost his main sponsor - OMV, so it will be hard to him to get necessary budget for any of those champinships.

Five S2000s on next Jänner Rallye in Austria(start january 2008) !!! :D

-Andreas Waldherr(Polo)
-Kris Rosenberger(Polo)
-Roman Olilodzik(Grande Punto)
-Jaromir Tarabus(Grande Punto)
-Jozef Petak(207)

[Mirek]

Tom: Is there an entry list? I found nothing on the official site of rally. But no matter how much S2000, most important is snow! :)

EDIT: Roman is Odlozilik not Olilodzik :D And Petak is Josef but's only minor :)

[WRC1]

here you are!

http://box.motorline.cc/rallye/jaenner/jaennerrallye_nennliste08.pdf

Stohl, Pech, Baumschlager are the Favorites

Paasonen, Waldherr, Rosenberger, Valousek and Blomquist the ones to watch!

but Petak is not on that list....sorry for Tom ;o))

wrc1

[Mirek]

Thanks, nice entry, but it must be on snow otherwise half of that 140 crews will arrive...

[Mirek]

I think that Petak doesn't have gravel package for his 207 since he doesn't need it in both Czech championships.

[Tom206wrc]

OK :mark:

[Tom206wrc]

I've read in another forum Jan Kopecky could drive a 207 on some 2008 IRC rounds :eek:

It looks weird to me as he has contract with Skoda, part of VW group and there's already the Polo ready awaiting the new Fabia...so could someone from the forum confirm or deny the rumour ??? :confused:

It is very early. He has no contract with Skoda, there are chances he will start in IRC, there is chance it will be with Pug, but he can use different car and start in different championship. As I told, it is very early...

I'm trying to get into this S2000 lark if it is indeed the future. I'm starting to like it more and more so could you tell me if this list is correct. Have I missed any out? Thanks.

It is for S2000 cars competing in the WRC so far:

[Karbonyl]

Do you have an idea when we will see it?...thanksThe homologation is real in the first half of 2009 I guess. First tests can be expected in the second half of 2008, not earlier.

[Madeira]

The homologation is real in the first half of 2009 I guess. First tests can be expected in the second half of 2008, not earlier.

So many time to see this car running on the stages indeed, If I was a Skoda Engineer I would try to do the job a little bit more faster before a typical change of rules from Fia to the S2000 class... :p

[Karbonyl]

Maybe they are preparing new pseudoWRC for year 2012 :)

[Mirek]

Madeira: There are two different dates... The first is when Blue car study in Geneve was revealed and the second is the real start of development. And even I don't know the second one I'm sure it was much later than the first one.

It looks like the Ford Fiesta S2000 project has been stopped !!! :(

[HaCo]

Relax; it's got nothin to do with the Australian S2000, babelfish translation:

With the universe of the S2000 to gain land and the WRC to have its sentence of death announced for 2010, Malcolm Wilson knows that it is there for the way for the future, but for already this it is a scene that is dependent of a possible contract renewal between the M-Sport and the Ford: "We are intent to the regulations and the ascension of the S2000, but the construction of an car of these, in an official perspective, also depends on the prolongation of the contract of the M-Sport with the Ford and of the new rules that WEAVE it it will want to impose for the future. To evolve for this situation still we are to evaluate and to study all the projectos, knowing still if the appositive one would not fall again on a Focus or a Fiesta ".

[Tom206wrc]

OK ;)


But if the australian project don't receive technical/budget help from factory, they won't be at the level of the 207 and the Grande Punto :mark:

[HaCo]

I would not underestimate the australians. I'm not talking about asphalt, I'm talking 'bout speed on gravel. A possible meeting next year in China, which counts for APRC and IRC... :D

Maybe earlier, as last year there were talks about a pilot in australia who wanted to buy a punto, he wasn't sure yet... :)

The minimum length for a S2000 car is 3,90 m.

The homologation regulations you can find here: http://www.rallystar.co.za/article/articleview/2605/1/1/

They are quite old but I think most of it is up to date.

Renault decided that a 200 000 € S2000 car did not match the Dacia image of cheap cars and canned it. A big mistake in my book, the brand would have had a flying start commercially if they had dome it.

The testmovie on youtube showed it had potential !!

Kosciuszko drove the car in Walles too. Nothing confirmed yet I think. It was car from JM engineering and there are many drivers rumoured or sure to drive those two cars.

[Madeira]

]In normal conditions.. Sá will be champion again ;)

I'm not sure about that Paulo, finally Vitor will have a decent oposition in Madeira championship. As you know the Peugeot of Camacho will be built by Peugeot Portugal, which means quality...so my bet goes to Alexandre Camacho! :p

Btw, what about the FWD teams for next year?

Is Honda contesting again, Citroen, Renault?

[Mirek]

We have new rulles for 2008. Minimum weight was changed in the way of actual numbers. As far as I know the cars weight a bit more than new limit and the old limit was unrealistic. Actualy limit is now 50 kg plus in all condition.

The minimum weight is 1200 kg with 6.5'' x 15'' or 7'' x
15'' wheels and 1150 kg with 18'' or 16'' wheels under the
conditions of Article 4.1 (and with only one spare wheel).

The combined minimum weight of the car (under the conditions of
Article 4.1 and with only one spare wheel) and crew (driver + codriver)
is 1350 kg with 6.5" x 15" or 7'' x 15'' wheels and 1300 kg
with 18" or 16'' wheels.

That could be good news for at least Toyota. In my knowledge Toyota had the biggest problems with the old weight limit.

[Mirek]

As far as I know no S2000 car had less than 1150 kg on tarmac rallys so nothing changes...

[RS]

Why have they done this? Bad news IMO as it will make the cars less agile.

It won't really help anyone as the teams will still spend money on weight saving - then any spare they can put in as ballast in all the right places.

[Mirek]

RS: As I wrote before, that change will have no effect on cars because they all are even heavier than new limit. They just realized that old limit was unrealistic in terms of S2000 rulles.

Which of these four drivers is the likely winner of this "shootout" for the second Peugeot Spain seat?

http://www.motorcanario.com/deportivas/index.asp?id=10409

[Tom206wrc]

Interesting !!! From 2008 in portuguese/Madeira championship the S2000s have a group/class change !!! They become "A8" instead of "N4"... :mark:

[Mirek]

By technical and logical way S2000 are everything except group N car.

[Karbonyl]

Totally agree. Matching S2000 cars as Group N machines is absolute nonsense...

[Sulland]

But if you look at the results they are pretty evenly matched, are'nt they ?
So why is it wrong to put them in the same class ?


But it does not make sense to put them i A8 either, is A7 only 2wd or could they go there ? (Gr A under 2000 ccm)

[Karbonyl]

Yes, the results of S2000 and production cars are matching nicely, but that's not reason for putting them together in one group. Because it's completely denying the basic characteristics of group N cars, which are serial - opposite that S2000 cars are highly tuned machines, OMI they should have it's own category, because in current system of classes and groups they can not be placed anywhere. Solution to this problem is waiting in the new classement system (R1, R2, R3...).

[Wim_Impreza]

In the Belgian national championship are the S2000's in A7, except in Ypres. This was already in 2007 too. ;)

[Mirek]

In the mess of today it doesn't matter since nowadays gr. N cars are no longer group N too. Basicly they are gr. A machines with smaller restrictors. S2000 are definitely not gr. N cars from it's basis. But as Karbonyl wrote we have mess untill new R classes are the only ones.

[Karbonyl]

As far as I know in France exists class A7S for S2000 - the best solution I saw yet...

[urabus-denoS2000]

It is just not into the idea of N4.N4 is PRODUCTION cars.they should be in a7,or a7s as in france

[HaCo]

Production Car produced for competition. And after production extra modified for competition. IMO, top N4 cars are very far from production cars.

But hey, every car has to be produced, so logicly S2000 is a production car too... ;)

That is a real big shame. No homologation for the Fiesta either I gues... It will be the Toyota's against the rest next year in Australia, unless one buys a Fiesta...
