+17,7 at 2nd stage total 36,3 for Ucci at 2 stages...

stage 3 cancelled.Why?

Nice driving :)

[Jarek Z]

stage 3 cancelled.Why?

Andreucci knocked out the whole competition already in the two first rounds. It made no sense to hold stage nr 3 ;)

[Kielder]

Fast and confident again on 0:23

Rally di Como 2012 onboard with Gilles Gilardoni!!

EPIC Lancer EVO IX N4 OnBoard

[Ucci]

No mercy this time from Andreucci-after fifth stage almost 50 seconds advantage compare to U.Scandola. Young Albertini more than 1min30sec behind....The old fox is still Nb.1 on gravel in Italy, thanks god.....

[Kielder]

Great win for Robert. Fastest eight stages out of ten. Waiting for Rally du Var!

[tommeke_B]

The biggest competition in Rallye du Var is Loix with a whale... A car that's 5 years older than the C4 and wasn't even top back in 2005 (last year as factory-car). If Kubica doesn't win he will have no excuses. ;)

[mm1]

Wasn`t there some speculation that Dani should compete with a DS3?

[Kielder]

Wasn`t there some speculation that Dani should compete with a DS3?

Yes, but he won't be there. IMO too closer.

[Jarek Z]

Wasn`t there some speculation that Stephane Sarrazin should compete?

[tommeke_B]

As I said before several times in different topics, French people on forums seem to be very good in inventing things... Covered by some nickname it's easy to say "I heard from a good source that..." ;)

[Ucci]

About Rally Como: again great drive from R.Kubica, he is way too fast for Italian gentelman drivers. We all know already before the start who the winner will be.....
Nevertheless, we must congratulate to the new Italian tarmac champion-Felice Re. He definitely deserves this title, he was clearly the fastest and constant. And it is already his third TRA title.
There is no fear that we will not hear more over the future years over Re family-yust look the stage times from the penultimate stage-Val Carvagna (almost 30 km long), Felice's son Alessandro made with DS3 R3T third fastest stage time, merely 10 seconds behind his father.
Well done, Re family.

SS7 Rally Costa Smeralda stopped and cancelled after crash of Dettori(crew OK) :mark:

[Mirek]

I can see it still running with three cars being now on SS8. They say that Dettori just blocked the road by his car so they canceled SS7 but no words about canceling the rally.

[Tom206wrc]

Cancelling SS7 I wrote, not the rally, Mirek ;)

[Jarek Z]

This picture clearly shows who will replace Loeb at Citroen :)

He won against gentleman-drivers so he will be dominant in WRC? Wishful thinking... Realistic? No.

[Jarek Z]

He won against gentleman-drivers so he will be dominant in WRC? Wishful thinking... Realistic? No.

It's just a joke! Take a look at the writing on Kubica's seat ;)

[steffforno]

stage 3 cancelled.Why?

Because been a long time ( 20 min) from the zerocar to the Andreucci because there were still car off the street of stage 2

But as Peugeot-Sport won't help teams in 207 S2000 next year, does that mean Racing Lions will change program(208 R2s for example)and Ucci forced to look at another team in CIR ??? :confused:

Last info says yes, but we will see...

[Tom206wrc]

Read on Rallylink forum: Ucci would be testing next week a Ford Fiesta RRC and a Fiesta S2000 from A-Team :confused:

[werner]

My last Info, but it was before Monza Rally Show, was that Ucci do CIR with 208. But its true, no support for 207 S2000 from Peugeot.

[Raven]

Ucci do CIR with 208.
But R5 is not ready yet. So what in the first half of the season?

[werner]

But R5 is not ready yet. So what in the first half of the season?

I suppose same as Bouffier at San Remo.

Yes, R2 until August, then R5. Thats the last Info.

Easy season for Scandola then (if he stays in Skoda). Unfrotunately my fovourite championship from season to season is falling apart...

[Tom206wrc]

...then Ucci can beat R3s in his 208 and win CIR 2WD championship :D

[Tom206wrc]

Official !!!! Paolo Andreucci and Racing Lions came today to Vélizy in Paris suburb to take their 208 R2 kit(news from Twitter with pic) !!! :D

[Tom206wrc]

Unofficial for now, but on Rallylink forum someone wrote Skoda Italy back to CIR with Umberto Scandola(Fabia S2000 Pirelli) :confused:

[Tom206wrc]

Now it's official from RallyExpo live today saturday: Umberto Scandola + Skoda Fabia S2000 + Pirelli tyres in CIR 2013 ;)

[Mirek]

Let's not confuse the two teams. There are two Škoda Italia teams. One that was running Škoda UK cars for example and one that was running car of Scandola last year. Those are different teams. I'm almost sure this one is the second.

[Tom206wrc]

Live from ExpoRally: birth of a trophy(7 races)dedicated the "now old" Abarth Grande Punto S2000 !!! :eek:
Driver Gianluca d'Alto loves the Fiat and was feeling sad the first ever "european" S2000 in history was more and more disappearing...so he decided to create a cup for it in 2013 ;)

He said many drivers in Italy were interested in this trophy :)

About the entry list-looks very promising. No doubt-Rossetti is Nb.1 in pure driving skills, but he is driving ''just'' S2000 car, so he can not win the general classification. IMHO Longhi and Felice Re will struggle for an overall victory.

The 2013 Edition of the Rally di San Crispino, fourth round of the Italian Rally Championship and Cross Country Rally, will not.

[Raven]

The 2013 Edition of the Rally di San Crispino, fourth round of the Italian Rally Championship and Cross Country Rally, will not.

In its place will come the Rally Costa Smeralda, on reserve land held by Great Events Sardinia.
You mean the rally is cancelled and instead of it Rally Italia Sardegna Costa Smeralda is in CIR calendar?

[Bartolbia84]

Rally San Crispino is skipped for the lack of agreement between the organisers and the city of Gubbio, a town where the race takes place.

In its place is the Costa Smeralda, which joined the calendar 21-22 September (date that will change for sure), and will take place in Olbia.

The Costa Smeralda and the WRC Rally Italy Sardinia are two different races with different promoters.

Well, on the one hand I'm happy to see Luca Rossetti in a crap car R4 evoX, let him see how will he handle with chronic understeer, poor brakes, damped engine breath, high center of gravity, H-pattern gearbox....maybe he will have some more respect for drivers, who are batteling with those cars...

[Tom206wrc]

Edit: it was a mistake,...he's here now ;)

[Ucci]

Some thoughts after the 1st day in Tuscany: Basso in the convincing lead-a bit of surprise, but his opponents showed almost no resistance, that makes his work easier. The biggest disappointment so far Umby Scandola, WTF is happening to him??? Perico average.....About Rossetti-welcome in N4/R4 club!! Crap car, crap stage times.....
So to the 2WD class: pitty for Cempedelli's retirement, new leader is Bosca with Clio R3, but look who behind him?? The old fox Paolo Andreucci with a small P208 R2, very good drive for him. The young guns in the same class or even with stronger machinery (DS3, Clio R3) must be furious. There were strong rumors few last years in CIR that the championship was just a opportunity for old, already established drivers, no young couldn't start a career...and now, as they have an excellent opportunity to beat Andreucci with the same weapon, they fail to do it....And when the old fox will be the first in Italy to drive a R5, we will again hear craying....

[Tom206wrc]

Yep, the 208 R2 between hands of Ucci is very impressive(9th overall after day one) :)

[Ucci]

Ciocco is finished: congratulations for the opening victory to Basso/Dotta, the Munaretto prepared 207 worked perfectly. I hope he will find extra money for the whole CIR 2013.
Perico can be also satisfied, second place is a solid way to start the season. By contrast, Scandola has to clean up his minds, this event has to be forgotten as soon as possible.
A big smile on the face of Andreucci and a lot of joy for the Racing Lions Team: 208R2 proved to be a winning car in the R2 class. Of course with an appropriate driver, Andreucci showed no mercy against his rivals.
So, roll on to the Mille Miglia.

[WRC3]

MM: On the longest stage, the famous Pertiche, Umberto Scandola made the gap! Bad luck for Albertini, I suppose puncture.

[WRC3]

Mille Miglia: What a fight! Scandola loosing time on last stage yesterday, starting as second overall with 20 seconds gap to leader Perico into last two stages today. Cavallino, 14 km each. First run, Scandola 10.4 faster then Perico! Last stage just finished: Scandola won that stage, but only by 4.4 seconds, so Alessandro Perico winner Rallye Mille Miglia 2013, and new Leader in CIR! Congrats!

[Ucci]

My sincere congratulations to Alessandro Perico, he finally made it!! His second victory in CIR after 2005 San Remo with Clio S1600. Apparently winning this year CIR title will not be as easy task for Umberto Scandola as it first seemed.
Again incredible times from Paolo Andreucci, sixth place at the end (on the 7th stage he even managed third best time), less than 30 seconds behind much stronger Clio R3 and 1min30sec in front of his first rival with equal car, that is something to admire...
And now to the gravel stages of Rally Adriatico. Looking forward to this event.

After all the Adriatico entry list is not so disastrous....some interesting names will be present: Lategan, Boland, Paolo Diana (the famous Fiat 131 driver at San Marino Legend Rally), Kristiansen, Chardonnet, Alessandro Bettega....

[hari]

One of South Africa's new young stars will be taking part in Rally Adriatico, Henk Lategan will drive a Skoda Fabia for the BRR team from what i understand.

Lategan testing yesterday:

Wow fantastic pics , thank you Hari, look forward to seeing how they do this weekend.

[Mirek]

Hari, the car has German plate, do You know why?

[CWJ]

Hari, the car has German plate, do You know why?

Maybe it was easier to keep it German because of papers and documents if it was a former "VW" Skoda?

[Mirek]

That could be the case, thanks.

[liposh]

Maybe it was easier to keep it German because of papers and documents if it was a former "VW" Skoda?

I was wondering for a long time who bought the VW-Skodas, so now it is a little bit more clear...at least one car. There were rumours that VW-skodas with gravel kit are even better than Skoda motorsport gravel fabias. Anyway it is very good tool, so good luck for Henk Lategan.

[tolis]

So, who bought them? Do you think this is Lategan's car or does he rent it?

[liposh]

Everything seems that it is BRR (Raimund Baumschlager) car.

[Grant_RSA]

Rumours are that Henk will do 3 overseas events this year, i assume to get experience in writing his own notes which we do not do in SA. I am not sure if all will be for the BRR team, however Raimund Baumschlager is quite involved with the VW team in SA from what i am told, helping to develop our Polo S2000's which are very similar to the skoda.

Henk is quite inexperienced, however his inclusion in the VWSA works team and results thus far have been very good considering. Learning to write his own notes may slow him a bit on this event so will be interesting to see how he performs.

I just wanted to say that this is an amazing photo! Congratulations Hari! :up:

That sounds logical. Baumschlager was involved in Fabia S2000 development since the very beginning, his current chief-engineer Walter Illmer is former car engineer of Jan Kopecký and there are another people connected to Škoda Motorsport in his team, like Josef Lank.

[hari]

So, who bought them? Do you think this is Lategan's car or does he rent it?

BRR bought all the cars of VW Motorsport.
But i think the car of Lategan Test is another one - ex Mikkelsen IRC Car. But with the VW ones they have six completely white ones, so maybe it is even another one ;-)
Hopefully we will see some of them soon on the stages. In Austria or somewhere else...

[hari]

The dust on the test-stage revealed some history of the car: - Its the ex IRC Car of Mikkelsen.

So BRR will expand its international business again?

In an interview some weeks ago Baumi mentioned a clash of commitment - I think he needed the car for Lavanttal Rallye, but someone wanted to rent it for Rally Portugal - is this another reason he bought some more cars?

[Sulland]

Is there a live link to results on rally Adriatico somewhere.


Norwegian Petter Kristiansen is driving a Clio R3 from DP Autosport for the first time there, hopefully in the middle og the road in the beginning!

Impressive performance by Lategan on the morning stages! My impression on the teststage did not fool me, big big talent.

[Tom206wrc]

Basso accident and SS5 stopped(crew OK) :(
Ucci in front of all Clios R3 and almost all DS3s R3 :D

[Ucci]

Scandola won!! His first victory for CIR!! Congratulations, he deserves it.
Shame for gearbox troubles on Travaglia's evo9, he was in a close fight with Scandola until troubles hit him....but still 4th place is not a bad result. Andreucci, as expected by a margin the fastest in R2 class lost 10th place on the last stage, but even 11th place with a small P208R2 is a great result.
I'm impressed over the Cempedelli's pace, on one stage he managed fourth fastest stage time - with a front driven car....on the gravel!!

[Grant_RSA]

Hari. Good to hear that Henk impressed you. He is very early in his career, hopefully we will have him on the world stage soon.

He seemed to loose time on the 2nd and 3rd loop, anyone know if they had issues?

Can someone tell me why there are only 1min dust gaps in Italy? Can surely cost some competitors unnecessary time if stuck in dust?

world stages ? Do you know more about this ? :)

[Grant_RSA]

No. Nothing has been said., however a move to do international events should be an indicator of plans going forward.

Henk's father Hein is an accomplished driver having won multiple track racing titles in SA and more recently a top 5 runner in a Peugoet 207 s2000 . He has retired to concentrate on his sons efforts and is a major driving force to get Henk into winning form.

[Grant_RSA]

Saw on twitter last night Henk was happy to get to the end, but feels he "made lots of mistakes", has put it down as a learning experience..... not a bad result for making mistakes i would say.

About rallies in SA, why is there no recce ? Are the rally done with unknown stages until the morning of the race ?

[Grant_RSA]

We have 1 event that is allowed to be recce'd which forms part of the FIA Africa championships, other than that there are various reasons for no recce, but at the end of the day the biggest is most likely financial, time away from work/business etc. I predict a recce will be introduced in the next few years, it is the only way any of our drivers will be able to compete abroad.

Currently we use a system of route notes originally created by Bill Sturrock, the rights were sold in SA to an ex rally driver Leon Botha who has remained active in the sport after retiring. The bound book of notes and a dvd of the stages (driven at a normal decent pace) are supplied a week before the event. In most cases teams will adjust these notes to their liking and in some cases re-write them completely to become pace notes, this can be tricky when not seeing the route "in real life"

This is a massive step forward from the tulips we used to rally on pre 2006

In general the established rallies will use most of the same stages every year, however of late we have had a number of changes to venues/areas where events are held. The classic rallies such as the Sasol and VW Rallies have kept their traditional stages and are fantastic forest stages.

The economy has played its role here as with everywhere else in the world of late, but we still have a field of around 18 S2000's and a healthy number of S1600 (R2) class cars.

Anyway, for the moment Paolo Porro is in the lead, but with a relativ small margin (+20sec) compare to local driver Giacobone with P207S2000....

If general all the championships are under the crisis influence (less entries, not so much competition), the Italian I.R.C.cup is in a ''perfect condition''. Have a look at the enty list for the Rally Prealpi Orobiche:

http://www.giessepromotion.it/cms/images/prealpi2013/iscritti.pdf

Any predictions about the possible winner?? My hopes are for Perico....

[werner]

IRCup Italy has big money prices, also for classes. If I remember right, 10k for R3 winner. With Pirelli as main sponsor. I was at Prize Ceremony past January at Brescia, many many people and very popular. Also the Head Organzier of this Cup are very friendly guys. And a big TV Coverage after each race. Made by my friend ...

[Ucci]

A very sad end of Perico's Rally Prealpi Orobiche, his Fiesta WRC caught a fire already on the first stage:

any entry list for rally costa smeralda?

[Tom206wrc]

Ucci won the Costa Smeralda(in front of Scandola) and was back to te 207 S2000 ;)

[Ucci]

Ucci won the Costa Smeralda(in front of Scandola) and was back to te 207 S2000 ;)

He won (very convincingly and to be honest, expected..) the CIR classment, but even more interesting were his times compared to WRC2 (Kubica&Co), he was constantly faster than many WRC runners....The old fox is still very fast. I hope he will retain his speed and motivation for next season-one P208 R5 is reserved for him..

[WRC3]

Unfortunately Andreucci will stay in CIR also for 2014, no international program. And that CIR could be an One-Man show. The R5 should be ready for San Remo. I agree that he still is very very fast, but his program depends on what his sponsors (Pirelli, Peugeot) will do.

[Mirek]

I don't think Pug would be ready for Sanremo. The homologation is scheduled to January if I'm not mistaken.

[liposh]

Yes Mirek, Meeke said so (homologation of P208T16 R5 will be half a year from Ypres) , but it was for first time I heard that. Two weeks ago I heard P208 will be ready before WRC Rally France. So it is changing very often.

[Mirek]

Since first asphalt testing started two weeks before Ypres I don't see it possible so early.

[Jarek Z]

He won (very convincingly and to be honest, expected..) the CIR classment, but even more interesting were his times compared to WRC2 (Kubica&Co), he was constantly faster than many WRC runners....

Exactly! This is true! I made a small comparison between Andreucci, Kubica and Kosciuszko on the same stages. I wasn't surprised that Ucci was faster than Kubica - that was obvious, but that he was faster than Kosciuszko driving Ford Fiesta WRC is quite embarassing for the Polish driver :)

Below you can see my analysis:

"SS No." "SS name" "winner WRC" "Kosciuszko" "Kubica" "Andreucci"
1 MONTE LERNO 19:20.2 20:52.2 21:11.5 19'55.4
2 MONTE OLIA 13:43.0 14:36.0 15:04.0 14'11.3
3 TERRANOVA 10:36.9 11:08.0 11:34.1 10'58.9
4 MONTI DI ALA' 13:38.9 14:37.7 14:57.3 14'18.0
5 COILUNA - LOELLE 13:47.0 14:31.1 14:57.4 14'24.9
6 MONTE OLIA 13:19.3 14:05.3 14:15.5 14'06.0

Kubica wasn't even close to Andreucci, but he easily won WRC-2 with a big margin. I didn't know that the level of WRC-2 was so low.

[Ucci]

This week-end 3rd race valid for Italian I.R.C.-Rally Casentino will take place. Again very promising entry list, this time with no ''big'' names from CIR, but anyway it is going to be a splendid battle between Re and Corrado Fontana, maybe Sossella joins them....It is also worth to mention first Italian appering with DS3WRC, Max Beltrami (the owner of D-Max racing team) will drive as a first Italian driver this beautiful car.
On foto taken from Beltrami garage:

[Ucci]

Max Beltrami is Swiss, isn't he? :)

Italio-Swiss, yes. He lives in Swiss, but his team is registered in Italy.

[werner]

I don't think Pug would be ready for Sanremo. The homologation is scheduled to January if I'm not mistaken.

Yes, you are right, it was my last Info about their plans, so I should ask for an update ... or he do San Remo as Zero Car. Its also Monza Rally Show with R5 on his program.

http://www.rallysanmarino.com/detail.asp?c=14&p=1&id=1114

[Ucci]

Rally Casentino was yesterday late in the night finished, new winner in this season-M.Sossella. It is obvious, that he managed to pass the transit to a ''smaller'' WRC car (he admited in his interwiev that P.Andreucci gave him a genereous help with advices for settings on Fiesta WRC). Second place to Corrado Fontana (Focus), third was Cresci (C4) and a bit disapponited fourth Felice Re.
What came a bit of schock to me is a huge gap between first in 2WD class and first with N4 car-Herman Gassner junior. We can not deny that he is one of the top EU rally driver, but to be beaten (and without any technical problem) by so many drivers with Clio's R3&S1600, well, a didn't expect this.....

[Ucci]

Rally San Marino is finished; my congrats are for a deserved winner-Umberto Scandola. He successfully defended from Basso's attacks. This is also a clear massage, that Basso is a brilliant driver on tarmac, but on gravel his performance is nothing breathtaking....What I'm want to say that his last year's victory on this rally with more competitive drivers (it was an IRC rallye) was also a result of his RRC Fiesta. Now, seating in N/ car, and with only Umberto as a main rival, he wasn't able to repeat his success.
But the biggest disappointment I see in Alessandro Perico. He has this year great chances to become CIR champion as a private driver after many years, but his performance on gravel are so weak....Just look his gap behind Scandola-more than five minutes....thanks god that the competition is very weak in he scored 5th place at the end, but this is no way for a driver to become a champion....
Who convincingly won the 2WD class ??? Again Paolo Andreucci.....the old fox is not giving it up....

[Tom206wrc]

Basso in the lead of Rally Friuli after two stages, just in front of Scandola and Albertini ;)
Puncture and then retirement for Perico on SS1 :mark:

Good fight in 2WDs between Nucita and Campedelli, Ucci just behind them ;)

[Tom206wrc]

Engine problem for Ucci in SS3 !!!! Can't believe there could be an end to his long serie of results since 4 years, today in Friuli :mad:

[Tom206wrc]

Gosh !!!! Off road(crew OK)for Giandomenico Basso(SS4) once again !!! ;(

[Andre Oliveira]

Ohhh Basso :(

[Tom206wrc]

I can't believe my eyes !!!! Yesterday friday Ucci escaped from a terminal electrical problem on his 208 R2, losing quite many time, and today saturday he's fghting for podium position with two stages left to go :eek: :eek:
Epic champion ??? :D

[Barreis]

Scandola champ, can't believe... If Andreucci was in s2000, that would never happen...

[Ucci]

Italy has a new CIR 2013 champion !! My sincere congratulations to Umberto Scandola !! As I already predicted during the winter (when it was official, that Andreucci will be this season ''just'' behind the steering wheel of smal pocket-rocket P208R2), he was the main favourit for this year crown. Thank's to Škoda Italy, of course....
So, 49th edition of rally del Friuli has been finished, a lot of retirements, which shows that this rally is very selective....But there are few drivers, for whom this this is no obstacle, they push like mad....As Tom206WRC mentioned, veteran Paolo Andreucci (where the hell he finds motivation??) lost yesterday more than 1min30sec, but today his performance were simply astonished-his stage times are almost ''science fiction''. He ended rally on 4th place. Without time lose he could be third.....and we are talking over CIR, not some village rally....I know stages of this rally quite well (huge gradients & countless 180 degree bends upwards, from where a small P208R2 hardly accelerate....for example a Clio R3 or DS3R3T must obtain from each such combination app.1 second...) and therefore can not understand, how can be one driver with just 180bh and 2WD so much faster than competition with almost the double power,4WD, bigger tyres&brakes...miracle....Well, the award for such outstanding performance is already ''around the corner''-new P208R5 for CIR 2014 !!
And now to the sadder side of this rally-valid also for Slovenian championship; all I can say that Humar with his Clio R3 and Turk with P208R2 showed some speed (though both were constant ''beaten'' by Andreucci), but unfortunately they retaired...the biggest slovenian embarrassment are N4 drivers, they were all the time even behind Turk, not to mention Humar...at the end two italian crews with R2 cars are 3min in front of ''mighty'' Slovenian evo's9....a rally to forget....but this is sad picture of slovenian rally scene-as slovenian economy falls, so the drivers quality is dropping....hoping for better times...
Enough whining-it is time to celebrate for Scandola !!

No Rosseti, Andreucci, etc. Easy job for Scandola...

Hope to see Andreucci with 208 R5 :)

Normally Basso should have contended Scandola this season, but he always crashes :rolleyes:

[Japé]

I tried to google if there are other smaller gravel or tarmac rallies organized in Sardinia than WRC rally, but I could not find information, neither maps of the possible routes. Since I don't speak Italian it is even a bit harder to find any relevant information.

It seems that ''papa'' Felice Re rewarded his son Alessandro, who is a fresh Citroën DS3 R3 Trophy Champion (sincere congratulations!!) with a special award: Citroën Xsra WRC for this event. Nice...if only more fathers like Felice would exist....

Small surprise on the entry list for the rally Citta dei Mille-Robert Kubica in a P207 S2000 and his old co-pilot Gerber. The team Ereffe who is the owner on the car has got a permission to change the gear lever on the left side.

http://www.cronocomo.it/web/2013/RyMille13/A100IEU.pdf

It will be interseting to compare his times against some local drivers in WRC cars.

[Jarek Z]

Live results from this rally sprint:
http://www.cronocomo.it/web/2013/RyMille13/index.html

Kubica is only 15th after SS2. He had a problem with driveshaft in his Peugeot. He lost much time and finished only 45th. On SS2 Kubica was third. Alex Perico leads the rally.

[Jarek Z]

I like the livery on Kubica's car in this event. It's much better than the livery he used in WRC2 and ERC.
