National Rally championships News

[urabus-denoS2000]

Lamborghini made an impressive debut at the 3-Staedte rally as the 00 car,setting regular top-5 times.
The stages were fast and suited for a GT car,but it was an impressive debut considering the car had only a few weeks to be prepared and that is was only a circuit car adjusted to rally.I hope they will continue and make top rally-spec car and that others will follow their example

[PJRevs]

Great news just keep coming for the Rally Porec in two weeks!!!

Latest news are that there is a posibility,since there is a plan to run a Renault Clio R3 Acess cup in Croatia and Slovenia,that Patrick Sandell is coming with an Clio R3 acess!!! :) :) :) :)

I cant describe how great this would be for Croatian rallying!!!

Nothing will happen! Sandell was driving last year in Serbia and our championship is poor like it was before Sandells coming. ;)

[Barreis]

For sure it's good for our motorsport (marketing, publicity).

[urabus-denoS2000]

Well I didnt think about marketing and commercials because I think that our and your championship is as low as it can get.
I think if Loeb would come,it would make no major difference,it would mean that 5 more people would go and watch...
Sad but true

[CCarlos]

Tom: Next weekend also Waldviertel rally, Austria, with very good entry list including Manfred Stohl.

In Czech Republic there is Setkání mistrů show in Sosnová racing arena next weekend. Here is entry list with drivers from rally, rallycross and autocross: http://autodrom.cz/beta/userfiles/file/Startovni%20listina%20SM08.pdf ad here official website: http://autodrom.cz/index.php?pg=lastzavod&lang=cs

Since Setkání mistrů is still the same year by year I choosed Waldviertel to spectate.

[Mirek]

Olaf Dobberkau (Porsche 911 GT3) had a heavy crash on Rally Eisenberg (he was 1st after SS6). He crashed into a saw-mill hitting a fork lifter and three spectators in the company's area. Fortunately noone was injured seriously. It seems the cause was brake failure.

[Tom206wrc]

[Mirek]

So, I returned from Waldviertel Rally Austria. Great rally even with terrible weather. The best drivers to watch for me were Rosenberger (Polo S2000), Danzinger (Golf Kit Car), Gassner jr., Wittmann (Evo 9), some old BMWs and Volvos and crazy Ronay with Lada VFTS :D Stohl was clearly fastest but not very sideways.

1. Stohl (Evo 9 CNG)
2. Wittmann (Evo 9) +46,1
3. Rosenberger (Polo S2000) +48,8
4. Gassner (Evo 9) +3:08,8
5. Gavlák (Evo 9) +4:01,8
6. Mezaks (Evo 9) +4:41,8
7. Stengg (Evo 9) +5:09,8
8. Seibel (Evo 9) +5:46,2
9. Danzinger (Golf IV Kit Car CNG) +7:14,7
10. Pasteiner (Impreza N11) +11:35,4

Waldherr retired with engine problem, Gassner jr. also some mechanical problem

Does the original date for Bohemia clash with an IRC event?

[Tom206wrc]

Huge battle for victory at the Rallye Costa Brava, Sergio Vallejo won with a margin of only 2s ahead of Enrique Garcia Ojeda :eek:

This week-end is also the last round of french gravel rallies championship in Vaucluse, and after the first leg Julien Maurin is leading in the Procar Fiat Grande Punto S2000 with 16s gap over Paul Chieusse(Peugeot 206 wrc)and 21s over Arnaud Morel(Toyota Corolla wrc) :D

Was Baumschlager driving an Evo X?How did he do?

[Mirek]

Yes, he was. Finaly the car had ALS and didn't seem to be slower than Evo IX. It was also a bit louder than IX. To tell the truth I can't judge how fast it is by sight but he retired from sixth place (I think) with probably broken turbo (he passed me on SS5 slowly on warning lights). His mechanics were working on the car even on saturday penultimate service but I don't know why. Maybe someone is interested in shock absorbers Mundl uses - Sachs. In my opinion Evo X seems to be faster than N14s I saw personaly.

[Mirek]

There were two interwievs with Kresta in last days and it seems like he'll continue the same way as in 2008. That means Czech international championship and probably Rallysprint Kopná as a pre-Barum test. The car will be probably either Mitsubishi or Peugeot 207 (at least for Barum). depends on budget, competition and economical situation of sponsors in current crisis. In the moment it is almost sure Pech stays in Mitsubishi so that Kresta needn't to switch in S2000...

[urabus-denoS2000]

I heard rumors that Pech will continue with an S2000...
Obviously wrong rumors

[CWJ]

]Olaf Dobberkau (Porsche 911 GT3) had a heavy crash on Rally Eisenberg (he was 1st after SS6). He crashed into a saw-mill hitting a fork lifter and three spectators in the company's area. Fortunately noone was injured seriously. It seems the cause was brake failure.

@mirek: they just announced after analytical investigation by DEKRA that the front brake cylinder was bloked during usage at 180 km/hr, so they moved straight out...

[Tom206wrc]

I heard rumors that Pech will continue with an S2000...
Obviously wrong rumors



Why "obviously" ??? :confused:

[urabus-denoS2000]

Because Mirek said it is almost sure he will continue with Mitsubishi,and I heard those rumors after the end of Barum Rally when I heard he was furious that the S2000 have gone too far and that he can no more stay competitive against them with an N4
I repeat these are all rumors

[Mirek]

Pech wasn't furious about S2000's pace on Barum. He was lucky with his performance until the gearbox failure. After Kresta's crash he could move into the lead of Czech championship even with Lancer there. He had the pace. Just look into the results where he was before retirement. He was fastest from production cars in all tarmac IRC rounds.

CWJ: Thanks

[urabus-denoS2000]

Yep but I dont think that Pech will be happy with "just" the best production car.
I think he wants to win on his stages in front of the Czech crowd with such international entries.
I know he was very fast,as he always is

[Mirek]

I think he knew very well that only a lot of fortune could make him winner against top S2000 drivers, so that his ambitions weren't that high.

at the setkani mistru people siad charouz motorsport gets 3 peugeot 207 s2000! but nobody still who drive the cars next year! (Kresta,pech, semmerad???????)

Kresta and Pech will continue with Lancer next year and I think it is better for Martin Semerád to do another season in the Lancer. Don't forget he is only 18 years old.

[Mirek]

Wim: You're not right. There is quite a big chance that Kresta will drive S2000 next year.

It seems to be true that CHRS ordered 3 Pugs but we must wait what will happen with them. In the moment they don't have them in my opinion.

There will be all CHRS cars in Prague in december. Those are 4 Lancers (usualy Kresta, Pech, Semerád sr. and Semerád jr.). If they had more rally cars, they'll use them at least for Tomáš Enge who wanted to start but won't because of not enough cars in CHRS.

Bruno Magalhaes was leading until SS3 where he had an off and lost 2'39"...he finished 2nd overall after big attack on the rest of stages ;)

Third overall was Fernando Peres who definitely won the GrN class...

With one stage left to go on this rally there was 1.5s between Fontès and Pascoal :eek:
But Pascoal hit something and broke suspension in ultimate stage(retired) :(

To Mirek:Pavel Brynda in a WRC????I remember him from the Delta Croatia Rally in his very nice Felicia Kit car

[Mirek]

Petr Brynda ;) He is very crazy and very spectacular driver but I don't know what he can do with 4WD with more than 300 Hp as he is A5 driver. We'll see :)

I know he is an A5 driver,thats why I asked.
After the Felicia he drove a Fabia A5,and some rallies in an Clio.
Just seems as a HUGE step forward for him

[Mirek]

He has Fabia A5. That white Clio R3 is of Vaňáč. Brynda's team built and service it. In Kralovice Jiří Brynda drove it (fast :) ) but it was only once. Jiří is brother of Petr.

As usual, you are still promising to visit Czech republic, but we will meet again not until my visit on INA Delta...

Yes I am still promising,but I hope I will keep my word ;)
I plan on spectating an early Czech rally,Barum (although it is always a bad date for me,but the biggest wish for every year-never been to Barum and it is rally that has so much tradition and fame) and Prague Rallysprint so I shuld realise at least one of these.
But I also hope you will come to INA Delta next year...
And also we hope that the engine will not die after the first day so that we could hang out at the stages ;)

[Mirek]

urabus-denoS2000: I would never travel to Czech rep. because of something so short and chaotic as Prague rallysprint (maybe because of friday drinking :D ). For me the best rallys are Barum because of competition, Bohemia because of stages, Český Krumlov because of nice spring atmospere and Kopná as the best sprint.

How many stages does this years rallysprint have?

[Tom206wrc]

No, unfortunately not PLuto,but I would really like to visit the rallysprint,maybe even next year


Also expect Kuzi ( :) ) in an 307 and Vanač in an Fabia ;)



Would be interesting Kuzaj in a whale :D

Don't hold your breath Urabus. Macek is probably the slowest driver to ever have driven a WRC car. I saw him "in action" twice and believe me it's a terrible experience ;)

I know,he drives a yellow Corolla that I didnt even think it was a WRC because it was so slow

[Mirek]

Yes, Macek is very slow, but it's not important for him I think. He built his Corolla WRC himslef and cruise through the stages with his own WRC :)

[PLuto]

Don't remember, that this ISNT Corolla WRC. It is piece of crap build from many cars, mainly from Celica GT Four only with Corolla skeleton. It never hadnt regular homologation, only for third czech league.

[Mirek]

I know but why do You call piece of crap something You would never achieve to make Yourself?

Don't hold your breath Urabus. Macek is probably the slowest driver to ever have driven a WRC car. I saw him "in action" twice and believe me it's a terrible experience ;)

They (CRS) were about to buy 3 207s

[PLuto]

Finish of Charouz Racing System isnt problem. Pech and Kresta will continue, Pech with same mechanics, Kresta with owns. I think both will continue with Lancer Evo IX, but it depends on situation (if Kopecky will start with Fabia, Kresta will take Pug etc).

[Mirek]

It is opened for Pech, he may not drive Evo 9 (but defenitely not S2000).

Enrique Garcia Ojeda - Subaru N14
Oscar Garre - Porsche GT3
Marc Blazquez - Nissan 370Z


New regulations por 4WD Gr.N cars.... 1300kg minimum weight and 36mm turbo flange. :)

[Mirek]

Interesting, Spanish ASN again goes its way like with GT's :)

[Tom206wrc]

Alberto Hevia with the Fabia after his experience with the Polo is also interesting ;)

I suppose Luis Monzon would keep on driving the 207 S2000 :confused:

Monzon retired.

I don't see any sence in driving S2000 against circuit GT specials and such strong gr. N cars with 36 mm restrictor.

Except surprises, Fiat and Peugeot will haven't official teams in Spain in 2009.
Luis Monzón... it's rumored they would buy two 207 S2000 from Peugeot Spain, to create a private team with two drivers with budget, but hasn't confirmed.

Miguel Fuster has made a test session with the Ferrari 360 of Piedrafita Team,

but he hasn't confirmed that will drive this car in 2009.

Big changes in Croatia.

It seems that ORC championship and the national championship are going to become one.
ORC and its organizer Dražen Ćurić,a former Croatian rally driver, held lots of driver meetings trying to get as much crews as possible.
ORC last year was very well organized and had a very media coverage and TV shows.But,its main problem was a lack of crews,around 15-20 per rally.

ORC found out that there is no point in going next year,because there would still be little crews,so they send a message to HAKS (the national motorsport organization) with a suggestion to become one,with some requests.ORC would organize at least one rally and a new group would be added group S (non FIA homologation cars,ORC cars).

The meeting would be held right after New Year,I will keep you informed

[wwbroe]

Looks like Wim Soenens (GEKO) bought a S12 Subaru for Snijers to do whole championship, except Ypres where he will drive S2000 car. The car is coming from Ireland (Derek McGarrity) and is an ex-Atkinson Subaru. Looks like Patrick is going for his eight title. ;)

]Wau, great for Snijers but a bit worse for championship which was very close this year...

I don't agree. In my opinion Snijers at the age of 50 (or so) is twice better driver than Deferm and Debackere taken together. He deserves this car and he deservers the 8th Belgian champion title (if I count correctly). It's always a sign of a healthy championship when the best driver wins, not the one that has most money. I hope Patrick will smash them! :)

Having said that I don't understand why WRCs are allowed in Belgium and Madeira, especially now in the time of the global crisis and when the whole world goes S2000...

Anyway, Patrick GO! :up:

As far as I could understand from the translation,Semerad family bought Charouz Racing System.The cars wiil continue to be prepared by the same people and in the same house.So Charouz Racing System is saved.

It also says that they will prepare the Evo for Martin Semerad for his Pirell PWRC campaign.
They will make an concurent natural gas Evo X

And Vaclav Pech will continue with Charouz cars.

[Mirek]

Not exactly :)

Semerád Senior is new team boss of Charouz Racing System rally team but not new owner. That is still Antonin Charouz. For Pirelli Star Driver events Martin will probably use the same car as others, that should be from Ralliart Italy. For another event he will use CHRS car. He will do complete PWRC (4 in Pirelli programme and 2 on his own - Norway and Cyprus). Now he's heading for some snow lection from Johny Haugland.

I don't understand why they talk about CNG Lancer. In Czech republic it would be very difficult to use it as our ASN is very strict, maybe in sprints but definitely not in International Championship.

[Mirek]

Kresta will drive Peugeot 207 serviced by his own team Kresta Racing. However the car (ex-CRT) is not his own so that the plans depends on the owner as well (mitropa cup driver Jiří Tošovský). Kresta should do Czech international championship.

The first eight drivers in each event will score 10 / 8 / 6 / 5 / 4 / 3 / 2 and 1 point(s) according to the usual scale. All results will count towards the final standings.

Renault Sport Technologies will be present at the events themselves with a host structure and a spare parts store, ready to provide technical assistance and perform technical inspections.

At the finishing line of each rally, the top five finishers will be awarded cash bonuses, Alpine purchase vouchers and tyres. The winner will thus be able to come away with prizes of a value equivalent to 10,000 euros. At the end of the season, the overall winner will receive a Clio Renault Sport. In total, more than 176,000 € of prizes are up for grabs as part of the Clio R3 West European Trophy.

[I]Clio R3 West European Trophy

Thank you very much for the information, but is it not another useless cup?

So definitely in Norway, Ireland, Lithuania... and they started with wins!!! ;) Where else then? Hungary? Belgium? Holland?

[Wim_Impreza]

Not in Belgium unfortunately. In Holland John Temmink, last year in a Fabia WRC, drives this year an Impreza WRC S12 and Harry Kleinjan would drive a more recent car.

[jolle1982]

jiri tosovsky are on the entrylist for the first german championship rallye Oberlan with the ev9! they dont drive the peugeut s2000?

[Mirek]

He will sometimes but I thing that they don't want to risk some damage before Valašská rally (Kresta will drive that 207). It's possible that Oberland will be on snow and Tošovský never drove S2000. Of course he also may swap cars as they are both in the same class.

[rallyemotions]

First proper ice/snow rally in the Baltics since 2006 - Winter Rally (http://www.winterrally.lt/en/) in Utena, Lithuania (1st round of Lithuanian and Latvian rally championships).
Results are here (http://www.rally-live.lt/rally_results_all.php?id=40) and pictures by rallyemotions.net - here (http://www.rallyemotions.net/winter_09/).

[urabus-denoS2000]

So Kresta goes with Tošovsky?

Are his Mitsubishis top?

Peugeot is probably bought...

[Mirek]

Tošovský bought ex-CRT Peugeot and Kresta will use it in Czech International Championship under new team Kresta Racing. Tošovský will probably use the Peugeot as well when it's free but to tell the truth he is not the type of driver to be fast in S2000. Maybe that's the reason why he is also building new Evo X.

[urabus-denoS2000]

But are his cars any good if Kresta is to use his Evo somestimes?

His cars are (were) red-white which he ran on Mitropa cup?

[Mirek]

Looks like Béreš jr. will use Peugeot 207 in Slovakian championship.

Spectacular video about 2008 season (skip interviews ;) ): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZQk38RKXH0

[urabus-denoS2000]

Great video!

Would be a lot better without the commentary but still great

This week-end Jukko Hiltunen with his 207 S2000 on entrylist of Autoralli Antsla 2009 in Estonia ;)

[HaCo]

Don't know if this was known allready, or if this is true, but apparantly Ojeda will drive a Subaru N14 this year. How do I know this, it's a slotcar announcement, they will make a replica of his car. :)

[Mirek]

Yes, he will but the rules in Spain are different and the car may have 36 mm restrictor and less weight, therefore it's not proper N14.

[HaCo]

How do u think it will compare to S2000?

[Mirek]

No idea, power is not all. I wonder about reliability. In my opinion GT circuit specials will be the cars to beat in Spain rather than boosted gr.N.

[Raven]

So Ojeda both in ERC (Skoda) and in Spain (Subaru)?
