What Tom, what???
:D

[Tom206wrc]

Normally the 4th april was closed of entry for next round of CIR, the famous Rally 1000 Miglia(counting for ERC too) ;)

http://www.rally1000miglia.it/

Don't know when entrylist is published though :mark:

What is sure is no factory drivers will be present(Ucci, Rox, Scandola, Navarra) :(

[Mirek]

But most probably Longhi and Travaglia are there :)

Andrea Aghini in a Skoda Fabia S2000 at 1000 Miglia ????? :eek:


It's the latest rumour read on Rallylink forum :confused:

[urabus-denoS2000]

Aghini was rumored to be the 2nd driver for the Jolly Club ;)

[HaCo]

2 Skoda's for Italy??? :)

[atsiotras79]

2 Skoda's for Italy??? :)

2 Skoda's for Jolly Club and ERC!
Ojeda and Aghini.
That was the rumour. Let's see now if it is true!

[Mirek]

I think that Ojeda should have been but won't be... :(

[Madeira]

Andrea Aghini in a Skoda Fabia S2000 at 1000 Miglia ????? :eek:


It's the latest rumour read on Rallylink forum :confused:

Tom, ask Crickets Film, He knows very well who will drive the Skoda... ;)

[Tom206wrc]

Apparently sixteen S2000s at 1000 Miglia :)

Let's wait entrylist tomorrow ;)

[Tom206wrc]

Looks like Krum Donchev on 207 S2000 at 1000 Miglia too !!! :)

[Tom206wrc]

Renato Travaglia on 207 S2000 at 1000 Miglia ??? :eek:

Hope the rumour is true, because with Travaglia + Basso, Abarth would surely win the event :mark:

Entrylist to be available today, normally ;)

[Mirek]

Yes, Travaglia with Peugeot from RL.

[Raven]

Travi again in top car! [here is the place for the bouncing smiley Tom206wrc usually puts in his posts, but I don't know where I can find it ;) ]

Entry list of Mille Miglia:
http://www.rally-erc.com/pdf/it_entrylist.pdf

[wwbroe]

Wowh, nice entrylist, 16 S2000 cars on the list. Did Dallavilla drive the Peugeot before, or is this the first time? ;)

[PLuto]

Wowh, nice entrylist, 16 S2000 cars on the list. Did Dallavilla drive the Peugeot before, or is this the first time? ;)

For example last year :)

[Mirek]

Mario Fornaris is new technical director of Škoda Italia team. Team principal is Pierfrancesco Zanchi.

[Raven]

]Mario Fornaris is new technical director of Škoda Italia team. Team principal is Pierfrancesco Zanchi.

Aha, that is good as Fornaris knows the Fabia well. Any chance to see them do some IRC rounds other than Sanremo?

[wwbroe]

So Longhi is not on entrylist, i tought he would do Mille Miglia as replacement event for Adratico, because his car wasn't ready by that time. So what is happening, is the car still not ready or is something else wrong?? :confused: :(

[Mirek]

It should be because of that boycott agreement between factory teams...

[Jarek Z]

But only two events were agreed to be boycotted and Longhi is now missing already third event. Come on Piero, don't exaggerate! ;)

[PLuto]

But only two events were agreed to be boycotted and Longhi is now missing already third event. Come on Piero, don't exaggerate! ;)

No, in the agreement isnt written, that they will boycott two events, but there is written they will boycott Ciocco and Miglia.

[Tom206wrc]

Can't wait for the event to start :bounce: :D

[Tom206wrc]

Why are Bryan Bouffier/Xavier Panséri mentionned in the article about Krum Donchev testing for 1000 Miglia ???? :confused:

http://www.autosport.cz/clanek.php?cl=8308

[Mirek]

Bouffier helped Donchev to make good setup.

[Tom206wrc]

Thanks Mirek :)

[Burak]

Wow!!!

[Mirek]

Is it car from Butti/A-Style? Interesting that he is entered for MRT Noncentini...

[Ucci]

First race this season for Felice Re-Ronde Citta di Forli. There will be also some other interesting competitors, like Botta in Xsara WRC, G.P.Tosi in brand new Impreza WRC 08', Gasparotto in Focus WRC 06', Beltram with his Xsara....so, quite interesting !
Question for Tom: who will drive with WRC car in Italian TRA and who will be involved in Italian International Rally Cup (IRC) ?

[Tom206wrc]

No idea :confused:

[urabus-denoS2000]

I think Devid Oldrati is driving IRC witn a 206

[Tom206wrc]

Live-news from 1000 Miglia...Davide Medici broke his engine at start of shakedown, but fortunetaly Racing Lions(running here with Renato Travaglia)gave a new one to his team(Twister Corse)and should be at start of the event in time(SSS this evening) ;)

[Tom206wrc]

Start SSS rally 1000 Miglia in about 35 minutes from now :cool:

The track is completely wet of rain :mark:

Thanks for the link, but are you watching it, because the image is very slow, at least here it is. :(

[soprano]

Thanks for the link, but are you watching it, because the image is very slow, at least here it is. :(

It isn t perfect here either :( . Picture stops every 2 or. 3 minutes, plus they have a lot of commercials.

[wwbroe]

Ok, thank you, from what i can see it is indeed very wet on the super special stage. ;)

[Mirek]

To me it works. Not very good but useful.

[wwbroe]

Great time for Dallavilla, good to see him in action again. ;)

[Mirek]

Donchev biiiiig troubles with radiator. Looks like the end for him :(

[wwbroe]

]Donchev biiiiig troubles with radiator. Looks like the end for him :(

Wowh, and this on very first stage, really bad luck, but Medici is even worse. :(

[wwbroe]

Travaglia is even faster then Dalavilla for his first time in the Pug. ;)

[wwbroe]

But Basso is fastest of them all, with rather big gap on such small stage. :)

[Mirek]

Yes, but they both went very tight without drifting. From spectator's point of view I enjoyed wide driving Betti, Fontana, Solowow, Iliev or Černý more...

[wwbroe]

]Yes, but they both went very tight without drifting. From spectator's point of view I enjoyed wide driving Betti, Fontana, Solowow, Iliev or Černý more...

Yes Mirek, ofcourse, but that isn't allways the fastest way, especially on tarmac. :D

[Tom206wrc]

Wowh, and this on very first stage, really bad luck, but Medici is even worse. :(



Apparently new engine for Medici was OK, but rule wanted him to get 2 minutes penalty for the change, so he decided it wasn't worth continuing :(

[wwbroe]

Apparently new engine for Medici was OK, but rule wanted him to get 2 minutes penalty for the change, so he decided it wasn't worth continuing :(

Ok Tom, thanks for the info. ;)

[V.Gatev]

The organizers give 30 min. for repair to Donchev and 3 minutes penalty. If he can make the repair will start tomorrow.

[PLuto]

Krum left service area, he continues.

[wwbroe]

Krum left service area, he continues.

Ok Pluto, thanks for the info. ;) He will get three minute time penalty?

[Tom206wrc]

SS2 1000 Miglia about to start :cool:

[PLuto]

Ok Pluto, thanks for the info. ;) He will get three minute time penalty?

No penalty, but time on SS 1 is best + 3 min ;)

[urabus-denoS2000]

Basso should be finished now....

[Tom206wrc]

Oh no !!!!! Claudio from Rallylink announces problems with phone meaning difficulties to get live news from Rally 1000 Miglia !!!! :mad: :mad: :(

[urabus-denoS2000]

Don't worry about live news,we have PLuto there on a mission :D

[wwbroe]

Don't worry about live news,we have PLuto there on a mission :D

Yes, you are absolutely right, he will make sure we will get results. :D

[wwbroe]

You see, Basso is trough, with best time sofar. :D :p :D

[urabus-denoS2000]

He destroyed the competition before him :D :D :D :D

[Tom206wrc]

Basso puncture :confused:

[urabus-denoS2000]

I just have to add this

GO JAN ČERNY!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) :) :) :)

[wwbroe]

Basso puncture :confused:

Where did you hear that news Tom? :(

Edit: maybe it is for Solowow, because it takes long time for him to finish the stage?

[Tom206wrc]

Where did you hear that news Tom? :(

Edit: maybe it is for Solowow, because it takes long time for him to finish the stage?



Claudio from Rallylink ;)

[urabus-denoS2000]

Yes Solowow is quite late....

[Tom206wrc]

Travaglia in the lead !!!! :bounce:

[urabus-denoS2000]

Travaglia only 1,9 sec in front of Basso :D

As I expected it's going to be a big fight

[Tom206wrc]

And no problem for Solowow :p :

[urabus-denoS2000]

Travaglia set an awesome time,considering he was on wet tyres and Basso on slicks (and it's shining)

[Tom206wrc]

There's an obvious problem with GPS or something else to get live results :rolleyes:

[wwbroe]

Travaglia set an awesome time,considering he was on wet tyres and Basso on slicks (and it's shining)

Yes, but we don't know if Basso lost some time with the puncture. ;)

[Tom206wrc]

Not a bad time from Donchev !!! :cool:


Pitty his penalty of yesterday :mark:

[urabus-denoS2000]

Donchev finished

[wwbroe]

Times are coming trough quickly now. :D

[Tom206wrc]

Can't wait for Dallavilla time :D

[Tom206wrc]

Cavallini best time :eek:

[wwbroe]

There seem to be some kind of problem with results,because they come trough in groups, not time by time. That is why we have to wait sometimes pretty long. ;)

[wwbroe]

There is time allready for Di Benedetto, but not for Dallavilla? :(

[urabus-denoS2000]

Cavalinni is 4th,Signor 3rd :D

[Tom206wrc]

There is time allready for Di Benedetto, but not for Dallavilla? :(



Wrong di Benedetto...they are two !!! :p :

[wwbroe]

Wrong di Benedetto...they are two !!! :p :

Yes, but this is the one with starting number 29 and Dalavilla has 26?

[Tom206wrc]

Yes, but this is the one with starting number 29 and Dalavilla has 26?



The #29 starts in front...look at the starting order ;)

[urabus-denoS2000]

Solowow is always fast in 1000 Miglia....no different this year :D

[Wim_Impreza]

Probably this is good for Dallavilla, the road is not so wet for him as for as first drivers.

[wwbroe]

The #29 starts in front...look at the starting order ;)

Ok, thanks Tom, i was allready little worried about Dalavilla.

[wwbroe]

Second fastest time for the other Di Benedetto.

Only fifth time for Dallavilla.

[Tom206wrc]

Di Benedetto 2nd fastest :eek: :eek:


Dallavilla 5th fastest ;)

[Tom206wrc]

SS3 at 11.08 ;)

[wwbroe]

SS3 at 11.08 ;)

Yes Tom, but first results will come in only around 11h30 i guess. ;)

[Tom206wrc]

I guess assistance service isn't before end of SS4 :confused:

[wwbroe]

I guess assistance service isn't before end of SS4 :confused:

They enter service after stage 4 at 13h53, but before that they have regroup first from 13h33 till 13h53. ;)

[Tom206wrc]

Basso has his time on SS3 ;)

[Tom206wrc]

Solowow 14s slower :mark:

[Raven]

The most funny thing so far: sixteen s2000 cars and only two of them are Puntos. When finally Fiat will understand they are loosing the battle?

[Tom206wrc]

Travaglia 2.8s slower and lost the lead for 0.8s ;)

[wwbroe]

The most funny thing so far: sixteen s2000 cars and only two of them are Puntos. When finally Fiat will understand they are loosing the battle?

Yes, you are right, but one of them is in the lead anyhow. ;)

[Tom206wrc]

And again long time to wait before live results... :mark:

[Tom206wrc]

Donchev good time in the wheels of Solowow :)

[urabus-denoS2000]

Basso took 2,7 sec off Travaglia ;)

[wwbroe]

Tlustak is really slow compared to Elwis Chentre, alltough he is driving C2 S1600 and Elwis is in C2R2Max. :(

[PLuto]

Chentre is crazy on local stages, every year. And it looks that Tony take a wrong tyres (completely wet).

[urabus-denoS2000]

Elwis is a very fast driver,Tluštak not so.... :D

[Tom206wrc]

CAVALLINI again !!!!!! :eek: :eek: :eek:

[Tom206wrc]

Davide di Benedetto :confused:

[wwbroe]

What a time for Cavalini, again. :eek:

[wwbroe]

Cavalini taking overall lead as well. :eek:

[Tom206wrc]

Puncture for di Benedetto(Davide)stopped on stage to change tyre(5 minutes lost) :(

[wwbroe]

Davide di Benedetto :confused:

He is loosing about five minutes on this stage? :(

Edit: i am too slow, thanks Tom

[Wim_Impreza]

The most funny thing so far: sixteen s2000 cars and only two of them are Puntos. When finally Fiat will understand they are loosing the battle?

I don't understand why there are only 2 Fiat's S2000 in this rally, one of the most important Italian rallies and for sure Fiat is an Italian marque.

[Tom206wrc]

Apparently Dallavilla would have retired :(


Reason :confused:

[wwbroe]

I don't understand why there are only 2 Fiat's S2000 in this rally, one of the most important Italian rallies and for sure Fiat is an Italian marque.

Remember that official teams are still boycotting this event, so that is why Rosetti and Scandola are not there, among others. ;)

[Tom206wrc]

The other di Benedetto lost lot of time too(more than 2 minutes) :(

[wwbroe]

Other Di Benedetto is loosing 2,5 mins as well?? :confused:

Edit: again i am too slow, compared to Tom

[urabus-denoS2000]

You can't beat Tom

[wwbroe]

What happened with Manzini? :(

Edit: he has reappeared now.

[Wim_Impreza]

Remember that official teams are still boycotting this event, so that is why Rosetti and Scandola are not there, among others. ;)

I know Walter, but still I expected more private drivers with a Punto S2000.

[Tom206wrc]

Dallavilla would have broken a wheel :mark:

[Raven]

Wim_Impreza, exactly! Factory teams are another kettle of fish :D

[wwbroe]

Torlasco is setting great times with his Clio R3, i always knew he was fast, but setting really good times. ;)

[Mirek]

Basso had RF puncture on SS2, was it mentioned here? :)

[Tom206wrc]

Basso has his time in SS4... ;)

[wwbroe]

]Basso had RF puncture on SS2, was it mentioned here? :)

Yes Mirek, it was mentioned he had puncture, but they didn't say what tyre. :D

[Tom206wrc]

Solowow +8.5s ;)

[Tom206wrc]

Travaglia lost 2s again :mark:

[wwbroe]

Cavalini fastest again :eek:

[Tom206wrc]

Best time again for Cavallini :)

[wwbroe]

Now we have to wait for almost three hours before we will see results of SS5 (start at 15h48) ;)

[Tom206wrc]

Reading the live comment of Claudio(Rallylink)we discover almost every driver has any kind of problems on that SS4 :s

[Tom206wrc]

Strange we have no more time coming after the 20 first crews :confused:

[Tom206wrc]

Terrible the live timing on these 1000 Miglia :mad: ;(

[wwbroe]

Bendotti is going even faster as Torlasco and is now 1 second in front of him after special stage 4. ;)

[Tom206wrc]

Less than 8s between Cavallini, Basso and Travaglia after SS4...looks great battle coming for the lead :)

[wwbroe]

Fiftheen minutes to go before start of stage 5. ;)

[HaCo]

Luca Betti is very slow for international driver...

[Tom206wrc]

Normally SS5 has started :confused:

[RS]

Luca Betti is very slow for international driver...

He was very slow last year too.

[wwbroe]

Basso has finished the stage ;)

[wwbroe]

Basso again a litlle bit faster then Travaglia, extending his advance on the Pug just a little more, let's see what Cavallini can do.

[wwbroe]

Cavallini is loosing 9.4 sec compared to Basso, so Basso is taking the lead. ;)

[wwbroe]

Both Travaglia and Cavallini are together at second place overall at 5.1 sec of Basso. ;)

[HaCo]

What a nice battle!

[PLuto]

Heavy rain on SS 6.

[wwbroe]

Heavy rain on SS 6.

And do you know what tires they have on the cars, is it all slicks?

[wwbroe]

Travaglia is 12.5 sec faster then Basso on stage 6, and taking also overall lead. :eek:

[HaCo]

Yep, yet again a new rally leader... awesome rally.

[PLuto]

And do you know what tires they have on the cars, is it all slicks?

Yes

[wwbroe]

Yes

Thanks Pluto, good to know this info. ;)

[HaCo]

Looking forward to the images on the official web channel :D

[wwbroe]

Cavallini is loosing lots of time (about 42 sec) to Travaglia, maybe because of weather conditions? :confused:

[wwbroe]

He is dropping back to fifth place overall, behind Signor and Michelini. :(

[wwbroe]

Torlasco also loosing lots of time and dropping back to fourth Clio R3 in overall classification. :(

[Mirek]

From Pluto:

Tobia Cavallini (12) had a puncture.
Michal Solowow (2) had a puncture.
Luca Betti (4) has problems with differential.
Giandomenico Basso (1) has problems with stabilisation bar.

[HaCo]

Yep, thanks for the news...

[wwbroe]

Basso is trough last stage of the day, 16 sec faster then first run trough. :eek:

[wwbroe]

Travaglia 5.6 sec slower, but just keeping his lead at end of day 1. ;)

[urabus-denoS2000]

So Travaglia is first 1,8 sec. in front of Basso.

Awesome :D

[wwbroe]

After seven stages, end of today:

1. Travaglia 1h03'57"9
2. Basso at 1"8
3. Signor at 35"9
4. Michelini at 40"3
5. Cavallini at 44"8
6. Perico at 48"2
7. Antonelli at 1'22"4
8. Fontana at 1'55"9
9. Solowow at 2'09"3
10. Manzini at 2'17"5

Tomorrow the battle continues with six more stages, looking forward to it. ;)

[urabus-denoS2000]

All top 10 in S2000,first non-S2000 is Illiev who is 11th (if I remeber)

[wwbroe]

All top 10 in S2000,first non-S2000 is Illiev who is 11th (if I remeber)

Yes, and only two Punto's, the rest is all Pug's. But both Punto's on the podium, in second and third. ;)

[Tom206wrc]

All top 10 in S2000,first non-S2000 is Illiev who is 11th (if I remeber)



No...in 11th is again a Pug(di Benedetto Alfonso) :p :

[urabus-denoS2000]

I must say I am a little bit dissapinted with the ERC TV....
First day was finished a long time ago and still there are only 6 shakedown videos....

Last year with Fontana they were a lot quicker...

C'mon Cricket,we know you can do better!

[Tom206wrc]

Last casualty of yesterday's leg of 1000 Miglia was Cristiano Manzini(207 S2000)with broken wheel in the last curve of SS7 :(

[wwbroe]

Basso is eleven seconds faster as Travaglia on stage 8, taking also overall lead now. ;)

[wwbroe]

Very close fight for third podiumplace, Perico going from sixth to fourth after this stage. ;)

[wwbroe]

Travagia loosing more then half a minute on stage 9, what has happened? :(

[wwbroe]

Cavallini and Perico are flying on stage 9, maybe good tires for this stage? They are now fourth and third overall, whilst Signor is now in fifth.

[wwbroe]

Only Travaglia is trough stage 10, for the rest i don't see any stagetimes, what is going on? :(

[wwbroe]

Travaglia is loosing a lot more time on this stage, he is also loosing second position overall. :(

[wwbroe]

Second best time in a rough for Cavallini, who is now back in second overall, pushing Travaglia to third and Perico is now fourth. :)

[PLuto]

Travaglia had problems with handbrake.

[Tom206wrc]

The last loop of stages is in... ;)


Rain apparently :mark:

[Tom206wrc]

Basso +32s off Travaglia !!! Strange :confused:

[Tom206wrc]

Looks like an accelerator problem for Basso :confused:

[wwbroe]

What happened with Alphonso Di Benedetto, he was doing rather strong race? :( :confused:

[Jarek Z]

Guys, I have just returned home and the first thing I did was check the Mille Miglia results. The second thing I did was check the forum and read all of your posts. Thanks to you I now know about everything that happened yesterday :up:

Just like you, I'm also disappointed in FIAT. Basso is the only driver that still carries the banner of the Italian manufacturer high. All other drivers decided to switch to Peugeot. FIAT should really do something about it before it's too late. It's a pity Emanuele Dati decided to skip this rally (it doesn't count for the Privateers Cup). I'd bet he would be another FIAT in top 10.

I'm also disappointed in Tlustak's performance. He has the best car, but is only 10th among front-wheel drive cars after SS11.

Great performance from Travaglia, Basso and Cavallini! And Solowow is heading for his best Mille Miglia ever!

[wwbroe]

Basso is 6.7 sec faster as Travaglia on the penultimate stage, so one to go for him. ;) ;)

[wwbroe]

With one stage to run, it seems like positions are fixed now:

1. Basso
2. Travaglia at 35"3
3. Cavallini at 56"8
4. Perico at 1'15"2
5. Michelini at 1'44"7
6. Signor at 2'03"8

[wwbroe]

What was the reason of Elwis Chentre's retirement? :(

[Jarek Z]

What was the reason of Elwis Chentre's retirement? :(

No, please tell me it's not true! I want to believe that Elvis still lives... ;)

[wwbroe]

And Basso wins Mille Miglia in front of Travaglia, who is expanding his lead in the Italian Championship :)

[muscrae]

Clio R3C challange seems to be real one!!! More than half ot the contenders retired, but only ten of them O_o

Gooo Çukurova Gooooooo !!!!! :bounce:


By the way any photos from the event???

[wwbroe]

With this result in Mille Miglia, this should be the new standings in Italian championship:

1. Travaglia 22 Pts
2. Cavallini 14 Pts
3. Andreucci 10 Pts
Basso 10 Pts
Michelini 10 Pts
6. Rosetti 8 Pts
Signor 8 Pts
8. Trentin 6 Pts
Navarra 6 Pts
10. Campedelli 4 Pts
Ceccoli 4 Pts

[Jarek Z]

Many photos you will find on the official ERC website:

[muscrae]

Thank you Jarek Z ...

[Wim_Impreza]

Did anyone notice this was probably the shortest Mille Miglia ever?

[wwbroe]

Did anyone notice this was probably the shortest Mille Miglia ever?

I didn't pay special attention to that, but it might be very possible. I think it is becoming a habit of shortening most rallyes unfortunally. :(

[Jarek Z]

Yes, the rally was shortened in order to save costs. It was announced a few weeks before the event. Didn't you know that?

ERC standings after Mille Miglia:
1. Basso 15, 2. Travaglia 13, 3. Sołowow 6, Betti 6, 5. Fontana 5, 6. Donchev 3, 7. Iliev 2, 8. Di Benedetto 1.

No, sorry.

[Tom206wrc]

Next week-end there will be also the Rally del Taro, an event from italian "IRC"(International Rally Challenge)but no idea about entrylist yet :confused:

Usually in past years there are many WRC cars entering ;)

Also Corrado Fontana is a former "IRC" champion... :)

The speed of Tlustak was terryfying! Was he sick, had mechanical troubles?

[modri dirkac]

Very good performace of Slovenian Marko Jeram. With his Ford Fiesta ST almost beat all the Clios in N3 with much more powerfull engines ... :eek: ;)

[urabus-denoS2000]

Tlustak is usually slow

[Raven]

I know, but it wasn't slow, it was S-L-O-W!

[Ucci]

Very nice for Matteo Gamba, I think he will not dissappoint wit Fabia S2000. Are there any predictions that he will run this car more often ?
But still no officiale photos from team Aimont/Fabia S2000/Longhi ?????

[Mirek]

Video from Gamba's test: http://www.autosport.cz/clanek.php?cl=8373

[Raven]

Look at his face! This says everything :-)
Gamba should be dangerous in this car.

[Tom206wrc]

Gianfranco Cunico(Ford) leading in front of Giuseppe Grossi(Subaru)and Mauro Zanchi(Peugeot) after SS1 Rally del Taro... :cool:

Alessandro Perico finally won the rally with 5s advantage over Matteo Gamba :)


Very great outing of the Skoda Fabia S2000 at Rally Prealpi Orobiche, though :up:
Can't wait for debut in CIR in two weeks with Piero Longhi at the wheels :p :

Wrcs are eliminated from the event very quickly :eek:

Cunico is still leading, but behind him are S2000 cars(Sora and Leoni) ;)

[Ucci]

Kind of surprise I would say-Renato Travaglia will make a debute with Fabia S2000 (tema A-Style) already on next event-Rally Targa Florio !! That is third S2000 car in this season for him....
But still nothing official from Aimont Team about Piero Longhi !!

[Mirek]

Is it confirmed officialy the the deal between Travaglia and A-Style is already done?

[urabus-denoS2000]

Will Travaglia use it in ERC?

I already imagine Travaglia storming by me in a Fabia at my Croatia Delta Rally.... :burnout: :burnout: :crazy: :s tareup:

[Mirek]

I think that it has been the goal of their negotiations and that's why I'm asking if it's official now :)

]I think that it has been the goal of their negotiations and that's why I'm asking if it's official now :)

Yes it is, Travaglia will use A-Style/MRT Skoda Fabia s2000 in rally Targa Florio, as confirmed yesterday by Island Motorsport president

[wwbroe]

Wohw, that is great news, we allready have enough Peugeot's running, so it is good that we will see another brand in action too. Hopefully we will see him doing some ERC rounds with this car too. ;)

[Raven]

Travi in Skoda, nice! :)
I also hope to see him with Skoda in ERC.

Well, onestley, I do not expect for Trava to be as fast as Andreucci on this race, still it will be first run for Renato in Skoda. Maybe later in the season, yes....
But as already mentioned, big succes for bringing Fabia in CIR !!!!

This car is very busy already, next weekend will be it's third weekend working in a row (that time with Travaglia)!

[urabus-denoS2000]

Quite a lot for a 15 year old car :D

[Tom206wrc]

Average time from Botta in the Fabia S2000 on SS1 :(

Best S2000 was Marco Blanc(7th overall behind the WRCs)in front of Michele Tagliani, Tiziano Borsa, Marco Bernardelli and Alessio Pisi...

[Tom206wrc]

Overall, Felice Re, 2008 TRA champion, best time in front of Paolo Porro and Elwis Chentre... ;)

Retired? What was the reason?

[Tom206wrc]

Mechanical problem for the Fabia S2000 Travaglia should use on next week's rally Targa Florio, it looks like :mark:


Great performance for Elwis Chentre this morning, now new leader with 20s advantage over Felice Re :D

Too old the 206 wrc ??? :p :

Also great performance from Marco Blanc in the S2000, 5th overall :eek:

[Wim_Impreza]

Great performance for Elwis Chentre this morning, now new leader with 20s advantage over Felice Re :D

Chentre is a much better driver than these gentlemen-drivers in TRA.

[Tom206wrc]

Don't tell me Felice Re is an unskilled gentleman driver ;)
