Congrats to Anton.

Fantastic entrylist for Rali Vinho da Madeira with no less than 17 S2000 !!! :D

Only Grande Puntos(10)and 207s(7), and no Polos, no Corollas,...though :mark:

Among names, Fast Freddy and Dudu for the Fiats, or Panizzi and Bouffier for the Peugeots !! :p :

Tom,
You can allready delete the S2000 of Dudu. I wonder how acurate that list is?

[bennizw]

I've heard that Duval is doing the rally in a S2000 too.

http://www.norsk-rally.com/modules/module_123/proxy.aspx?D=2&C=2&I=4781

It says he's on the start list in a Fiat Grande Punto, as is Loix.

[Motorsportfun]

In Madeira will not be present Gilles Panizzi... "dommage" :dozey:

[David V]

So does Duval

[JAM]

Is a shame what "Clubs Sports da Madeira" does with his rally. This is one of the most important rallyes on the ERC and IRC and don't need these false promises to atract attention, this is negative attention.

All the lists of drivers were informed by the organization, the first list with the big names and the second list distributed yesterday without the big names. Is really dificult to believe what will happen when the organization has this kind of posture.

I repeat, it was not necessary to act like this. I'm portuguese and have a big respect for Madeira island and for the Madeira Wine Rally. I hope theu will learn the lesson (didn't leraned on past years) and hope the other organizations see what shouldn't be done.

[Tom206wrc]

Anyway official entrylist of Rali Vinho da Madeira this evening ;)

[JAM]

The entry list:

[Donney]

Rather disappointing considering the previous hype, but I'll follow the rally with interest, this should be a great one.

[milly]

13 S2000 cars is pretty good though.

[Tom206wrc]

French gravel driver Julien Pressac will run SanRemo and Valais in the BSA 207S2000 in order to prepare the 2008 season !!! :bounce: :bounce:

[Tom206wrc]

I think it may be too early to enter IRC this season for MG :mark:



And with who as driver ?? Nathalie Barratt ?? :D :p :

For those who are still doubting the IRC project, I made a litle post here:

[Grant_RSA]

On a local motoring programme last night it was said that Toyota South Africa will have a fully Homologated Auris S2000 by December.

[jonas_mcrae]

wasnt already an Auris s2000 in australia?

[GigiGalliNo1]

wasnt already an Auris s2000 in australia?

Yes, I'm not sure whether a SA company built it or they did in Australia (Like the Australians work with SA team/company to build the S2000 Corolla) Good idea to ask an Australian here, as I forgot the answer.

[milly]

Australian car is only allowed to compete in Australian Championship - it does not have homologation for international countries. Same with the Ford Fiesta that competes down there.

Australian Rally Championship let both cars into the series under a waiver, because they haven't met the FIA International S2000 requirements.

These cars only have national homologation through CAMS, the local body.

If Toyota South Africa gets a car, it will also be a national homologation, only for their country.

[GigiGalliNo1]

Ahhhh there we go! I just lost interest with the ARC, now bck to IRC im watching the Belgium rally, I have the next two rounds to watch and Belgium sure looks good, commentary has gotten better as well as coverage and its very interesting! Also now a fan, I am :p

Anyone got plans to head out to the final (I hope) round in China?

[bf1_IRL]

If Toyota South Africa gets a car, it will also be a national homologation, only for their country.

I thought that Toyota SA was internationally homologating the Auris like they have done with the exsisting Corolla.. :confused:

[milly]

I thought that Toyota SA was internationally homologating the Auris like they have done with the exsisting Corolla.. :confused:

International homologation has to be done by the manufacturer.

Because the RunX (car used in SA in the past) was only built in SA, Toyota SA managed to 'sneak' through the FIA that way by claiming it was the manufacturer.

But the Auris is an international car, built in European factories, and that means Toyota Motor Corporation has to approve it.

[bf1_IRL]

Aha :)
Thanks for the clarification :)

[Grant_RSA]

Ill ask a few questions this weekend coming on our next national rally.

Milly i dont think your correct about the homologation, but i will ask the Toyota guys this weekend, im 99% sure the homologation is full FIA , toyota SA would not bother with it if it was not the correct spec. The head of Toyota motorsport in SA has been in Europe finalising the deal, with whom i dont know, but lets see what happens.

What will VW's excuse be for getting homologation? or is the Polo only built in SA as well??

[HaCo]

Both Polo and Corolla are build in SA, but they are run in Europe by Rene Georges and RED World Rally Team. Both teams also developed the tarmac version of the car, but spare parts come from South Africa, in both cases. For both cars at the moment it is a FIA homologation and I think it would be a very strange move if the Auris will not do the same way.

The cars in Australia are a different story, they are locally homologated and actually are still in development. I allways understood both teams (TRD and PIRTEK) wanted to use there cars in FIA championships, so they need to get it homologated, but if this will happen, who knows? They need to build a lot of cars for that...

Is the Autis a cooperation between TRD Australia and Toyota SA? Could you ask that please Grant_RSA?

Thanks.

[Grant_RSA]

HaCO will do!

i have my doubts though, but will try to get the low down, im in a VW so we'll see if any toyota people will talk to me ;-)

[Tom206wrc]

Great entrylist again for the Barum Rally Zlin(CZ)in two weeks :D

15 S2000s cars with new arrival of Renato Travaglia and Anton Alen(first time on tarmac) both on Grande Punto S2000 ;)

Again, it's a bit pitty only Fiat(with 9 cars)and Peugeot(with 6 cars)will run in that class and no VWs or Toyotas yet :(

Can't wait! Though no VW's or toyotas? :( When will the toyota's start to compete? :) mmmm.... VW's look good!

[Livewireshock]

At last weekends Rally South Australia, it was announced several times to the public that full FIA homologation for both the Corolla & Fiesta will be obtained by November. This is to allow both makes of cars eligible to compete directly at FIA APRC & WRC rounds next year.

This was also in line with constant announcements that both Fiesta cars are now on sale for the 2008 season at approx. A$350,000 fully homologated.

If its Intercontinental Rally Championships..... aren;t there ment to be more then 2-3 continents included in the champs?

You have mostly Europe..... Part of Africa...and Russia? (but the west side..)

Perhaps bring it to South East Asia! Like Australia or NZ :D haha And I hear China will not be a round anymore... I was planning on going! :( Any word on next years calendar?

I've turned into a fan of the IRC, so not complaining! :p

[White Sauron]

Saint-Petersburg in in Europe ;) There're only 200 km between us and Finland.

While working at Rallu Russia, we talked to Jean-Pier Nicolas. He told us about their interest to America (North as we understood), but explained, that IRC, in contrast to WRC, is more about privateers, so travelling overseas a lot doesn't get along with cost-saving programs....

[GigiGalliNo1]

ahhh ok... well I'm really happy to see this championship doing so well and really am great full its becoming more and more successful! :D

[bf1_IRL]

Good news :up:

I second that :) It will be interesting to see if S2000 will make an impact in the APRC next year..and to get back on topic, which european based outfit would look after distributing the Fiestas on this side of the world, M-Sport?

[Livewireshock]

There is interest in having one or two in the championship plus the four plus Australian cars in the Rally of Canberra in 2008.

[bf1_IRL]

Would be nice to se some S2000s in the APRC but they are badly needed in the MERC, but to get back on topic and back to the IRC,
What are the prospects in seeing a round in north western europe?
(I know Ireland is unlikely.. :hmph: )

[HaCo]

I don't know bf1, but I hope they keep the nr of rounds down. It's too expensive for otherwise...

True, I suppose it is expensive enough as it is.

Anyway onto Barum... :)

Nov

[GTA]

soon you will see The VW Polo S 2000 back in action again in Europe.
Loix will continue in Belgium and Alberto Hevia is driving in Spain.
You all should not forget that the Asphalt version of the Polo S 2000 does not even exist 1 year ! work started only 2 weeks before the Condroz Rally 2006, and now the car is ok, and all the spare parts are availeble... this was not the case in the beginning of the year. VW in IRC / ERC is not a factory team with the same support as Fiat and Peugeot.... but many forget this.... Rene Georges Rallysport is a private team with private money...

[Tom206wrc]

After SS4 Barum rally we have:

1 Ojeda
2 Loix
3 Travaglia
4 Vouilloz

12s separate the first four drivers ;)

The SS5 and 6 are very long(22 and 24km)and could bring bigchanges and gaps :D

[jparker]

Yep, Alen's first outing on tarmac with Abarth :up:
And he's doing surprisingly well. Very interesting ..........

[Grant_RSA]

i unfortuantely did not get to chat to the toyota people on last weekends event, but did get to talk to one of the head VW technicians, as far as he knows the Auris will have FIA homologation, permission has been given by Toyota headoffice already, so Milly lets see if your correct.

There are currently 5 Polos under construction, 3 for Europe and 2 for Australia is sounds like.

Well unfortunately had time to spectate a bit after we fell out of the rally early, watching the Toyotas and VW's here are something to behold, awesome is not the word.

Just some useless info, on the last event, at the end of day 1, the first 7 cars all S2000's were seperated by 6 sec .The eventual winner won by 20 sec, 2nd and 3rd seperated by 1 sec.

[Grant_RSA]

Another Polo

[Grant_RSA]

and Serge Damseaux in the Toyota

[RS]

Like the BP livery on that Polo!

[A.F.F.]

What happened to Alen at stage 9 ?

[Dilek]

"Alen was making excellent progress, when he found some loose gravel under braking for a slippery corner. The car slid off the road, and while it is not believed to be badly damaged, the young Finn was unable to continue.
Abarth team principal Claudio Berro said: "It is a real shame for Anton, who had been doing a fantastic job. Now we will get the car back to the service park and assess the damage. All being well, we hope to be able to re-start Anton tomorrow so he can gain more experience on asphalt."

The Skoda Motorsport is keeping in mystery (as usual). But according to press release of CRT Kopecky, the Fabia S2000 is still just in design stage. The "Blue car" presented on Geneve motor show was only concept car without the real development.

So whats Dudu doing in the IRC?

I spoke with Ilka in Japan, she says she has no news whether herself and Manfred are doing the IRC with OMV... :(

so wait? can i make a IRC Chine thread in this forum... or just we talk about it here?

"With the IRC manufacturers' title effectively decided in Peugeot's favour, Peugeot and Abarth have decided not to compete in China." Crash.net


Shame.... :( but why?

[HaCo]

Why is it a shame? It's an opportunity for other cars to win a big event... So yeah, make the thread! :D

[GigiGalliNo1]

ohhh i gotcha!

well i'm happy haha

just wanted to see the 207's and Abarths in there!

According to Racingworld, the usual first round of the finnish championship, Arctic Rally Finland, is candidate to enter 2008 IRC !!! :eek:

That’s true. In the newest issue of the finnish rally magazine “Vauhin maailma” is an article about IRC and in the article they say that the IRC organisation has contacted the organisation of the Arctic Lapland Rally and asked them if they are interested to arrange an IRC event. The arranger of the Artic Lapland Rally said that it’s OK but depends on how much money the IRC want for the registration to the IRC series.

Rumors are that Toyota is planning to contest the IRC this season.
Grifone should get a Auris S2000 from Australia.the whole project is could move to Italy.
The drivers??????
Well,its the former European champion Fabrizio Tabaton and Auriol

[HaCo]

The Australian Auris is not FIA homologated, so it can't be used. From the last I ead TRP Australia did not plan to homologate it.
Still I don't know why you have 2 importers developing the same car for the same purpose...

Still I hope it's true and we see the Auris in IRC!

[urabus-denoS2000]

Thats how I understood the article,maybe they will be driving the old Corolla S2000...although I dont see a works(or semi-works) team running an old model in the IRC...
But we all hope that it wont be like last year when they planned to run the IRC.

[Filip]

They plan to get the homologation done just before Rally Portugal, and than maybe Auriol would drive the Auris.

[urabus-denoS2000]

In the IRC regulations( http://www.ircseries.com/html/Sporting_Regulations.asp ) it is said that any driver with a car produced by an IRC entered manufacter is eligible to score points.
Subaru isnt entered in the IRC and I see no drivers with a Subaru at the final standings.
Does this mean you cant score points with a Subaru???

is correct, has always been like that.. only Registered Manufacturers can score Points... i think its normal...

It was weird that there were no Subarus in the IRC top 8.

So, according to Pluto, Travaglia will start in IRC in Island Motorsport team with Punto S2000 from Trico Motors.

[RS]

Good news about Travaglia in IRC, he will be a good addition to the championship. Doubt he will be a championship contender but he would probably be stronger over a whole season than Navarra was.

[Mirek]

In my opinion he will be very serious contender. He knows most of the rallys very well and is very constant on speed. If he has more luck than previous year, he will be high in point ranking.

[mousti]

]So, according to Pluto, Travaglia will start in IRC in Island Motorsport team with Punto S2000 from Trico Motors.
In the Belgium carmagazine 'Autonews' they're saying now that Travaglia would compete for Abarth in the Italian Rally Championship. Is that true? I hope not.

[Mirek]

That is true. But one day after that they announced IRC campaign too. Unfortunately Island motorsport denied it today :(

[urabus-denoS2000]

I thought Travaglias primary championship is the ERC...

I think Renato is now a very happy man. It was a kind of lottery prize that he has received in the last moment.Yes, He was planning to do IRC, if I'm not wrong there are two Italian rallys in equal dates of IRC. Remember, last season Basso did Rali Vinho Madeira despite his main goal in CIR, who knows if Renato can do the same, maybe a tarmac round of the IRC, Alen is not a tarmac specialist
