rally Saulė is finished.after big battle for first place rally winer is Deividas Jocius (MLE 9 N4).this is first victory in Lithuania for him.his most dangerous concurents was Rokas Lipeikis(MLE 8 A8) and Evaldas Čirba(MLE9 N4).also Vytautas Švedas(MLE9 N4).Lipeikis broke his yelow Lancer after jump in SS1 but he could finish the race far far away in 21st.so big part of race behind Jocius was "flat-out" -2004 Lithuania Champion Evaldas Čirba.but in one of last stages he roled and his race was finished.Vytautas Švedas was trying to push Jocius,but red EVO was faster today, so first victory for Jocius!!!

In the Exotic Green Rally (NL) was Mark van Eldik again too fast for the other drivers. He won with his Subaru Impreza S10 WRC and is already Dutch rally champion 2007! In only his second outing in the Skoda Fabia WRC (after a win in the Vechtdal Rallysprint three weeks ago), Harry Kleinjan was again very fast and was only 35" slower than van Eldik. Third was Wout Hazeleger with the ex-Mäkinen Mitsubishi.

Raliul Sibiului Pirelli 2007, the toughest gravel rally in Romania ended yesterday. 2005 Romanian champion Bogdan Marisca won in his Mitsu Evo IX, followed by the Impreza STI pair of Dan Gifrofan and Marco Tempestini of Italy. Last year's champion and winner in Sibiu, Constantin Aur (Evo IX), came 4th due to three punctures on the stages.

Rally San Crispino for Italian National Championship(CIR), very nice gravel stages, Andreucci in his evo 9 is showing his potential: he is fastest on today's stages, leading after stage six Piero Longhi more then 15 seconds. On this race we can see real driving skills-Basso and Rossetti can not drive as fast as Ucci, they are fast yust on tarmac stages(thanks to S2000 cars!!), but on gravel they are one step behind Andreucci.
Big surprise: in N3 class is leading our Slovenian driver Jeram with Fiesta!And this is his first ever drive on gravel stages in his life !! This is dissapointment for Italy....

[Madeira-Rally]

27th July 2007, 18:17

Don't forget that Basso had gear box problems and Rossetti made a Spin in SS2.. they lost a lot of time.

Perico wasn't lucky with Subaru, retired in SS1 with a broken Turbo :(

28th July 2007, 17:39

Yes, yes, yes, Ucci made it....Congrulations to him and Ana and the hole RalliArt Team.He is the one and only,who resists drivers in superior S2000 cars. Well done!
But in four weeks it will be even harder for him-tarmac in northeren Italy,near Udine. I will be there and I will support him.
In this race(Alpi Orientali) Rossetti will push over 100%, it's his home event.

Madeira

29th July 2007, 00:12

It looks there was significant changes in the final standings of rally due a mistake in Aghini's time in SS10, it was registered 12'32"6 instead of 12'37"6, so with more five seconds he dropped into 5th place.

1) Andreucci
2) Basso a 24"1
3) Rossetti a 45"1
4) Longhi a 49"0
5) Aghini a 49"8
6) Gamba a 50"7
7) Campedelli a 1'17"4
8) Medici a 1'24"7

Andreucci 48

Only this Russian, Radik Shaymiev so far. But next weekend in NORF we will see how competitive those S2000 cars are in fast gravel roads.

My opinion is that Anton Alen wont be fighting for victory, if everything goes well he might end up in top3 in class4.

If you look at the times of Cols in his N4 in Ypres, you can count Belgium as well. But, he was DQ at the end. In the Belgian championship he uses an A8, it's a pitty, because it is a lot easier for him. I think the battles would be great between him and F Loix, if he would only use the N4.

Other contenders to watch are Wevers and Kleinjan (both Fabia WRCs), Boers, Coffey, Turnbull, Van Iersel, Kirtley and Mann (all Impreza WRCs), Haverkate (Octavia WRC), Temmink (Corolla WRC), Hazeleger and Van den Heuvel (both Lancer Evos) and last but not least Patrick Snijers (Porsche 996 GT3).

I think Sandell won't have tough job on this rally.
Howewer, Vladica Rabrenović in his Felicia is very impressive!

Very vrong. Petrovic is winner. Sandell pin on ss5 and on last stage his turbo "dies" when he was in 2.2sec lead but Petrovic have 10sec penality. Great fight.

Czech international champ news...

Vaclav Pech won last event in Pribram even his title was secure before start and he could afford some drifts for spectators. Jan Votava was second close infront of Vaclav Arazim, but after the race Votava was disqualiffied for well known Lancer homologation story. So Arazim took second and Trojan third. Fourth and first in group A was Josef Petak, last time driving Clio S1600 (he has new 207 S2000). Emil Triner had a terrible crash after he suffered brake failure at 200 km/h and didn't manage to slow down the car enough by handbrake. Fortunately it was without an injury both the crew and spectators... Photos from the crash here:

Actually, SSS was different this year, it was not held on the carting track, it was held on a parking lot.

About Pech, he left the intercom on overnight and the car wouldn't start out of parc ferme in the morning. Stajf spun on the second stage this morning, after that Barvik and Jezeršek both ran into him. The weather conditions are simply appauling, it was pouring rain all day long.

As far as Humar is concerned, he is just blindingly fast, on any road. However, he took a wheel off on the first stage this morning and that was that.

I must say this rally showed very good performance from the traditional group N cars - Longhi's Subaru (http://www.rallylinkserver.com/costa_07/02/pages/image/imagepage8.html) and Andreucci's Mitsubishi (http://www.rallylinkserver.com/costa_07/01/pages/image/imagepage2.html)

Piero Longhi wins Costa Smeralda Rally in front of Luca Rossetti and Giandomenico Basso. Paolo Andreucci is 4th, just 3 seconds after Basso. Does anybody know if Basso is already Italian champion, one round before the end of the championship?I think that Basso is already Italian Champion from the previous round, Rally Sanremo, as 8 best results count.

Mirek

13th October 2007, 17:28

Yes, Basso was champion after Sanremo.

jure dvorsek

13th October 2007, 18:19

In this rally showed again, that Basso is a champion thanks to so many races on tarmac! If the story would be oposite,Ucci could show his driving skills and Basso&Rossetti would be in serius troubles.
For me Ucci is a big champion. If yesterday he did not get troubles with diff, we would win with a big margin.

Retirement for Jan Mölder who was running well :( and 15th overall for Radik Shaymiev...

Conditions were really bad on the first day - strong winds, rain, darkness and slippery, slippery mud. Next day the sun came out and roads dried up, but still the number of cars that retired was pretty high.

As far as I know Mölder had a slight off on SS6 and lost a wheel; that forced him to retire. But up until then he was running quite well, if you discount the 1 minute penalty for going into a TC too early.

PS! Some pics here too :)

Standings after first leg Rally Vsetín:

1. Kopecký - Fabia Kit Car A6
2. Semerád - Evo 9 N4, +3,0
3. Cais - Evo 9 N4, +7,0
4. Vlček Z. - Evo 9 N4, +8,5
5. Barvík - Evo 9 N4, +16,8
...
8. Flídr - Octavia WRC, +32,3
...
12. Grzyb - Swift S1600, + 46,1
...
14. Trněný - Octavia WRC, + 59,2

Very cold weather, sometimes snowing, wet roads covered by foliage. Very thricky conditions in the dark. I'm not here but when I look at the results I must raise the hat to Kopecký with only FWD beating an 4WD army. Very nice times from Cais, who doesn't race often. But I'm very pleased by Vančík on 15th place with Pletka's C2R2, who drives after several years long pause. He's now on 3rd place in group A only 23 seconds behind Grzyb and 14 seconds infront of Tlusťák :) Very bad result from both WRC drivers, for me even worse than I expected...

Everything is going perfect for Alberto Hevia in Spain.

After 2 stages he is leading Rally Costa Brava and he have more than 30 sec. advantage over his Fuster who is fighting for the title too..

It looks like VW Polo will have his first National champ :)

Really great for Hevia if that happens. He is very nice driver and at the beginning of the season had lot of problems with budget..

Great victory for Jarek Orsak on Wurth Rally Vsetin,in his second race with evo IX. It was a very dramatic race as first 6 drivers were within 8 seconds before the last stage. Also very good performance of Josef Semerad (second) and Jan Kopecky in Fabia Kitcar. :)

As Filip said, Jarek Orsak won shortened rally Vsetin. Second was Josef Semerad and third Vladimir Barvik. All first three were in just 2,5 seconds! It was pretty close until the end and the man who had very bad luck was Zdenek Vlcek. He would win but he started too early, got 10 seconds penalty and got back to fourth place!

Jan Kopecky with only 2WD Fabia Kit Car was 6th overal but only 15,6 seconds from the first one.

now we move to Portugal next week ( Mortagua rally ) with Nuno Pereira and in the same weekend Loix is driving a small rally in Belgium with the Polo S 2000, after that the Condroz Rally in Belgium with 2 Polo S 2000 and then the Waldviertel Rally in Austria with normally 2 Polo S 2000.

A very disappointed rally. Hevia had two rivals: Fuster and Polo. The car had problems with steering all the moment. Then a broken manifold and on the last stage just 3 km before the end, a shock absorber broke and Hevia went of the road.

In those conditions Hevia was faster than Fuster and arrived to the last stage with a difference of 1,9 seconds. Very impressive the pace of Alberto.

Fuster won the Championship, Hevia was second and Vallejo third. Also Vallejo won the GT Cup.

[Madeira-Rally]

22nd October 2007, 09:57

I think it's "normal" the problems that Hevia had this weekend...

which car don't have problems at all? All the cars have problems! Unfortunately Hevia had problems in a crucial race for the discussion of the title. But that doesn't mean Polo isn't a goo car. I think Polo is a quite good S2000 car... look at the performance of all the season of Havia... ;)

All the cars have problems as i'ts normal... for example Vitor Sá (Punto S2000) broke 2 engines this year... do you think Punto is a bad car? I don't think so... problems happen...

Anyway... congratulations to Renes Georges Team... I think they are doing a grest job in Polo S2000.
