Very nice car from a top tuner!
Can't get better!
Hope he has more luck with this 207,he's a nice guy and he deserves it!!!

[[Madeira-Rally]]

Last 306 Maxi Donchev used was also rented to Racing Lions...

It was in 2004 when in Bulgária Rally (If I'm not wrong...)

[Tom206wrc]

Nice livery !!! :)

[MG Rally]

Images of the Bill Gwynne Motorsport entered MG S2000 SPORT that Mark / Rory will be driving this weekend in Belgium, are in the Image Gallery section of the MG S2000 SPORT FORUM (http://mgs2000.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=107) - definitely worth a look if you want my honest opinion!

[Tom206wrc]

New 207 S2000 owners here in France, André Jézéquel and Thierry Beuron !!!! :)

Jézéquel will run with it for the first time this week-end at the Nord Deux Sèvres rally, and both Jézéquel and Beuron will drive their new car at the Rallye de la Montagne noire, french rally which want to enter IRC(we already mentionned it in the IRC threads) ;)

Can't wait to see their liveries :bounce:

I read that Proton homologation is under way. FIA found some issues which should be fixed before 1st August. If everything was ok, the homologation would have been obtained on 1st July.

[Mirek]

Opel is said to be building Corsa S2000 according to http://www.rallye-magazin.de. The car is said to be developped by MSD and should start testing in autumn. Beside that Opel plans to homologate Corsa OPC as gr. N and A cars.

[PLuto]

Roman Kresta will use on Rallysprint Kopna Peugeot 207 S2000 from Tagai. Now it is official.

[RS]

Roman Kresta will use on Rallysprint Kopna Peugeot 207 S2000 from Tagai. Now it is official.

Warm up for Barum? :)

[wwbroe]

Maybe he want to use this opportunity to see the differences between Mitsu and Peugeot? You never know if he is planning to take part in BFG-driver contest after all? Looking forward to see what he can do in these kind of car. ;)

[Mirek]

It is a test for Barum. Kresta will drive Peugeot on Barum but not BFG one.

[wwbroe]

]It is a test for Barum. Kresta will drive Peugeot on Barum but not BFG one.

Is this car the same car he is going to use at Barum Rally, is the car any good? :D

[Mirek]

No, most probably it isn't. He will use Tagai's car for Kopná only.

[wwbroe]

]No, most probably it isn't. He will use Tagai's car for Kopná only.

Mirek, do you have any idea what car he will use during Barum Rally, because i don't think there are so many decent Peugeot's available, are there? Maybe he can use Kopecky's car if Jaan is driving the Skoda as a "zero" car. :D (Just joking). Can i ask you if you have stage's for Barum, or will you have them in the near future? Thanks ;)

[Mirek]

I think the car will be from Italy, but must wait for confirmation ;)

About stages. Have a look at last year on http://www.barum.rally.cz.

City stage should be the same as 2007.

Stage Pindula is in reverse direction and a little bit shorter (cutted very fast few hundred meters before finish of 2007).

Stage Zádveřice will be almost same as last year in my opinion, only a bit different at start.

Stage Janišov is same but few kilometers longer (start part is new).

Stage Troják will be the same in my opinion.

Stage Komárov uses last year shakedow in reverse dirrection. It should be similar to what was driven in 2006.

Stages Kudlovice and Halenkovice are reversed but I think non modified reasonably from 2007.

Shakedown is driven on last year stage Slušovice in reverse direction. Map is here:
http://fotogalerie.autosport.cz/albums/userpics/10002/shakedown~0.jpg

[wwbroe]

Thanks Mirek, if you could get your hands on this years stages would you be so kind to pass them trough to me? Thanks again. ;)

[ProRally]

]I read that Proton homologation is under way. FIA found some issues which should be fixed before 1st August. If everything was ok, the homologation would have been obtained on 1st July.

Apparantly FIA allowed differant ration for the Xtrac gearbox and offered a solution.
So it would/could be homologated on the 1st of August. Looking forward to see the first test... ;)

[Mirek]

ProRally: What about X-Trac are You talking? MG and Škoda also use X-Trac...

[MadCat]

I believe Motorsport News said that the Corsa could break cover within six weeks. With the car likely to be homologated on October 1st with a competitive debut a possibility before close of seasons this year.

Of course, i'd wait for official confirmation before getting too excited :P

[Tom206wrc]

Would Vauxhall(Opels for the UK market)have automaticly the S2000 too(an S2000 with wheel-driver on the right side) :confused:

[ProRally]

]ProRally: What about X-Trac are You talking? MG and Škoda also use X-Trac...

FIA was looking at differant options for ratio of the XTrac hence the delay of homologation.

That will also end the only homologated XTrac S2000 which is MG at the moment. All other homologated S2000 uses SADEV

But I could be wrong... :D

[MadCat]

I seem to recall that it will be branded a Vauxhall over here :)

One question Enrique Garcia-Ojeda (is Ojeda his name or the event he is driving in?)

[Mirek]

While Skoda is taking its time to test and develop his S2000, Opel will start the Deutschland Rallye allready in less than a month, as a zero car in the hands of Horst Rotter.

Hi Katxal,
Had a look on your S2000 register website. Couldn't help notice Roy Whites MG S2000 Sport (BU03 OUW) as being listed with the team MSD. I don't know what you count as the team, but I do know that BTR Preparations (Tim Ashton) actually prepares the car and runs the car including support of the car, I beleive. I think MSD may have built it/converted the engine from Touring car specification, but I don't beleive they are the team as such.

I didn't know the motor comes from a Touring Car? Which model?

Vauxhall's Vectra that are running in the BTCC (Locally Homologated S2000)

[MG Rally]

I think MSD may have built it/converted the engine from Touring car specification, but I don't beleive they are the team as such.

I didn't know the motor comes from a Touring Car? Which model?
The MG S2000 SPORT's K2000 engine is built by Engine Developments Limited - formerly known as Judd - and the same engine is fitted to the MG ZS that has been raced in the British Touring Car Championship since 2004 in the hands of Anthony Reid, Colin Turkington, Rob Collard, Jason Huighes and Fiona Leggate.

When age of conan gold (http://www.forvault.com/age-of-conan-eur-gold-1494.html) saw this card time, they feel am very surprised, age of conan power leveling (http://www.forvault.com/age-of-conan-usa-gold-1256.html) is also.They think it is very good,thanks!

Thanks Marc, for the valuable information, will it be homologated on 1st of August? Is there any news about possible entries yet? Do you know who will be driving it? ;)

[m.lowe]

Homologation is due to go ahead for the 1st of August as the car is moving under its own steam now
Drivers not sure yet as I guess Chris Mellors of MEM will do some work but no doubt they will announce a test driver and maybe a driver for an event they might have earmarked to do.

There is a Irish driver which is supposed to have an order for one and thats Donie O'Sullivan and hopefully he will have his car for an Irish round (rumoured to be the Cork 20 Rally) this year

As far as i know only FIA homologated cars are allowed to compete here in RSA, this is the locally developed car! so yes i think you will eventually see it in Europe , probably next year.

News from Rallye Magazin
The clock is ticking inexorably. Only a few days left to the MSD developers to its latest baby running at too., the Opel Corsa S2000 first presented to the public, but so far the car has not yet test kilometres.

"The timetable is tight, but the car is as good as done," Whitehead told Motorsport News clear. "Of course we must at the last detail work is not dawdle. We want to finish quickly so as to have two or three days to test. The chances of the Germany-are starting 50:50. "

The ingredients will use at least not fail. The 2-litre engine comes from Swindon from the BTCC and for the rally to use slightly more favourable torque distribution. gearbox from X-Trac.

Little hope for German fans: Should there with the premiere to rally Germany fails, it promises Whitehead, "that the first use of the car still held on German soil, with Horst Rotter behind the wheel."

[wwbroe]

According to german website rallyemagazin.de, the Corsa S2000 will not run as a zero car in Germany next week. The car is ready just now, but they don't want to do a complete rally without any testing in front, so they will shift the debut of the car to another rally, but normally it should be also a rally in Germany with same driver. :(
