There's less than two months to this rally, and Im thinking to go yet again this year but I would really like to know if Skoda is going to be there. If they aren't than I shall reconsider my trip since there will only be the usual Peugeout suspects but if they do go I would really try to be their, plus theres the new Evo 2 so I would really like to see it.

It would be interesting to know too if Wilks plans to go there, seeing he has to miss Ypres and it would be a good choice for him. He was there last year and that should give him a head start to some other drivers.

Anyone know if he's planning to add Madeira to his programme?!

Drivers who entered with a discount:

Kris Meeke (Peugeout 207 S2000)
Bruno Magalhães (Peugeout 207 S2000)
Daniel Oliveira (Peugeout 207 S2000)
Marco Cavigioli (Fiat Punto S2000)
Burcu Cetinkaya (Peugeout 207 S2000)

To be honest it does not look promising this year.

RS

Really hope to see Basso on Madeira, this is his kind of territory.

I would be surprised if Skoda don't go, they have entered every round so far. The only problem is their drivers don't have any experience there, unless they sent Loix and Vouilloz....

Madeira
21st June 2010, 09:35
According the official website Skoda Motorsport will be here with Jan Kopecky and Hanninen. They have made the registration with discount!!. My doubt if there is a kind of provisional entry...

Francis44

Yes I've read it on the site now, that's great news as they are my favourite team in IRC, my favourite car and drivers.

Well it's now confirmed that Loix will be there too, just booked flights on Easyjet, 2 passes for about 300 euros, best deal considering Tap is charging 400 euros for just one ticket. I will be arriving July 31st, should be a great week.

I imagine we could see Sarrazin on Madeira; he is doing some asphalt testing in mid-July....

The rally is in danger according to a RTP (local television).

The company running the transport boat has made some requests in order to transport the cars, they want the boat to be fully rented.

I've always said that no concurrence means those kind of problems.

The rally is less than a month away, let's see if they can fix this issue.

Madeira
11th July 2010, 15:28
well, I do not believe that rally is in danger, in this moment there is some business pressure but we will have a happy end...I guess!

Although Skoda seem to be undecided still on going to Madeira some sources are stating, today, that Basso will be there in the Punto. This is great news for the rally because make no mistake: no matter what (older car compared to the Skodas and Peugeots, etc) Basso is an odds-on favorite for the win.

Francis44
17th July 2010, 23:53
Humm I still think if they drop Madeira Meeke will score big points and they dont want that.

And with a bunch of Peugeot's on Madeira I can see their manufacters title bid getting even more difficult.

Will be better than repair because Kronos hadn't enough time to repair his if I saw just a video of Kris Meeke for Azores and saw the inside of the car was Yellow so I'm almost sure he drove this weekend with Neuville's car. So Skoda if they start in Madeira it'll probably be the Evo 2 vs Meeke's evolution car who's be fixed then :)

Skoda will be on Madeira, no doubt.

As Skoda Motorsport chief Michal Hrabánek confirms on the Skoda Motorsport website yesterday.

http://www.skoda-auto.cz/CZE/news/info/news/motorsport/News/Pages/2010_54_RallyeAcores2010.aspx

Rough Google translation:
Michal Hrabánek , Team Skoda Motorsport ' It turned out that competition is always evaluated only at the end. It was unlucky for us to end the rally , which for us until the last moment developed favorably . However, we must look to the future . The next rally , which is present in both crews, the Madeira Rally first weekend in August . There they try to regain lost points here for the manufacturers and riders . But that will be extremely difficult, because it will be our first start in this competition . "

JRodrigues,
Madeira is a tarmac rally and the entry list on this type of surface are always bigger on IRC.
Plus, is also for the ERC - why are you doing this kind of comparison?
I just hope your rally with your entry list filled, can be as competitive as the Rally Azores this year.

Let's not start another war because of the islands.. And for your information, I've never been to Madeira and I've been to Açores and I rather go back to Açores than visit Madeira. So no need to have this conversation.. It won't take us anywhere.

Freddy who was already a contender for the win will be now a topcontender because RGRS will probably upgrade his Fabia to the Evo2 version! This will make a big difference he doesn't have then a big gap between the official teams and himself. And it's for sure a big difference because those evolutions made the Fabia much faster!

This list is real and was not invented by organizers. The teams and drivers have made the registration of the entries. If some of them won't be here it's another thing... Basso has confirmed the entry to the local media, but has some problems with the budget!

The transport of the cars seems to be free to Abarth, the organizers would pay it as part of the agreement. The hotel was granted in exchange of some stickers on the Puntos.

It seems that the budget problem is the flight to Madeira and some meals, as some extra work days to 4 or 5 members of the staff.

Either Grifone, Trico or Procar. I don't know which one :)

But Abarth isn't involved in entries of both Basso and Rossetti. Both would start as privateers (as Rossetti already has started in ERC).

Thanks for the info. Will be good to see one Punto but it's a bit of a shame that Basso couldn't make it as I feel he could have actually challenged for a win. Rossetti could be on for a podium though!

I think the Puntos in the Italian championship are also run by private teams even though they are funded by Abarth, so I guess this is still possible. I imagine the evolutions will just keep them in touch with Peugeot and Skoda rather than being a dramatic gain.

He entered for the competition so aslong as He's able to ship the car and equipment on time it's ok, cars will ship in 5 days but there is alway the chance to ship everything in the Navier Armas, which leaves Saturday I think, so they have less than a week.

I understood correctly,what I was trying to say is that to participate in one of those rally's with a rented car it's dosen't cost more than 60000 euros.

So I was pointing that 15000 euros is still a big amount of the budget.

I think Magalhaes and Kopecky will fight for the win, while Hanninen, Meeke and maybe Loix will be not far behind. I don't know what to expect from Campos?

It's a pity that Teodosio, Madeira are missing and why there is no Camacho?

What a contrast between the "ghost" entry list and the "real" entry list. :eek: :eek:

This a normal situation in Madeira.. as everyone knows!

Every years it's the same... but ok... I'm used to this... :s mokin:

I must say... that the biggest mistake was to announce Basso... because he is a really great driver, with a different car from other top IRC competitors.. and a guy that could win the race.

The other guys... don't make any big difference...

Loix, Meeke or Magalhães. One of them will win.

Loix isn't in optimum condition, still having lot of pain at his injured shoulder. He had motoraccident on Stefan Everts benefit cross in juli. Another pilot drove over his arm when he was on the ground after a fall. That is the reason of the injurie. Hope he will do fine alltough i doubt Skoda will allow him to win if he is in front of Kopecky or Hanninen.

5th August 2010, 10:01
Loix said in the newspaper here that his test before this rally was cancelled and that he will be happy with a 5th place after the first stages.

In my opinion the fight for victory will be between Meeke and Magalhães and close behind them Kopecký. Peugeot can and probably will win this round on the experience of the last years.

I am agree with Mousti. Luis Pacheco underestimates Kopecký.

I forgot my pickems. :(

Skoda don't really seem to do team orders like that.

For the rally overall I agree that the Meeke/Magalhaes should be at the front then maybe Loix/Kopecky/Rossetti just behind them.

In normal condition Loix don't have any chance in Madeira... he is very "agressive" with the car, and in Madeira you need a different driving style to be on top.

I hope Hanninen and Kopecky can fllow Bruno's pace... if not, there wwill be no competition... Bruno will have a easy victory.

My doubt is Meeke... he can be very fast in Madeira... because.. there is nothing to loose.. he really have to win here to keep the champ. alive.
