Υes, super performance by Vovos after his accident at the end of last year.
Vovos will do only gravel rallies this season with the exception of Halkidiki Rally for ERC in which he will do both days (tarmac and gravel). So far no plans for S2000. Evo9 until the summer (Focus WRC 07 - Munchi's, for Acropolis) and most probably Evo10 after it gets its homologation.

[VFTS]

the first round of the greek rally championship took place the pas tweekend, winner as expected was Vovos and showed he still hasn't lost his speed on gravel after his horrific accident last season. Vovos will not follow the tarmac rallies only the gravel ones this year.

I dont understand the greek letters, who did finish second and third in the rally??

1.Vovos Aris /El Em
2.Xatzitsopanis P/Andrikopoulos Andreas
3.Nasoulas Dimitrios/Patricousis Michalis
4.Nioras Grigorios/Gousetis Anastasios
5.Kirkos Leonidas/Polizois Giorgos

[teufel]

Bad news.This means that there is only one strong contender for the title,Benik :( .

I'd say, that Spici,Turán and Herczig are also very strong opponents and Érdi jun. will drive a Fabia, so it's not a one-horse race!

Rali Porto Santo Line would be postponed from this week-end to next one !!! :eek:


I hope it's an april fool from the Madeira rallies website :confused:




UNBILIEVABLE !!! It wasn't an april fool in fact !!!! :s :s

Brilliant from the organizers of the Porto Santo Line to announce this when surely spectators who wanted to attend the rally have already all prepared... :rolleyes:

No Tom, it wasn´t an April fool. The weather forecast for the week-end is not very good. Porto Santo is small island very close to Madeira, and the only way to go there, is by plane or by Ferry. An that is the problem, the ferry boat can experiment some problems to make the trip..and the organizers do not want to take some risks....
The rally was delayed by one week.

[dj_masch_hr]

new competition - open rally challenge - has started in croatia. the competition includes 4 sprint rallies. the first one took place last weekend at cazma and it includeed 3 different stages. 2 of them on tarmac, and 1 on gravel surface.

Thanks for the explanation ;) now I understand the decision...


But NOTHING proves the weather will be better next week :mark:

Yes,but they couldnt follow Beniks pace last year.Maybe now when Spici and Turan got better cars things could change.
Erdi with a Fabia???Thats more great news! ;)

They are talking to make the rally in October.

Although there is more than a month untill the next event in the Latvian RC, mechanics are quite busy to prepare a new car (Mitsubishi Evo 9). LMT Rally Team was so kind to let me in their garage. Here's the result: http://www.rallyemotions.net/evo9/ The project is ongoing and hopefully there will be updates to the gallery on a weekly basis. Enjoy! :)

Does anybody know why Erik Wevers was in an old Corolla at the weekend on the LG Almere instead of his new Focus? I'm sure I saw a picture of the Focus on the event. Did it only get as far as Shakedown?

[pucky54]

Does anybody know why Erik Wevers was in an old Corolla at the weekend on the LG Almere instead of his new Focus? I'm sure I saw a picture of the Focus on the event. Did it only get as far as Shakedown?

It was a great move by him. He didn't want to damage the Focus on this really bad roads (mixed surface stages). So he sent technicans home to get the Corolla over night to the event.

His team-mate R. Kuipers with the other Focus drove the first three stages (tarmac) and parked the car after this, because stages 4 and 5 included sandy gravel roads.

They need both cars in perfect condition for the next ERC round on April 18th/19th

[Tom206wrc]

And why did Dennis Kuipers retire in the 207 S2000 after 4 stages ??? :confused:

Thanks for clearing that up for me.

I think Kuipers had an engine problem with the 207.

[pucky54]

Yes, D. Kuipers had an oil leak so they decided to stop to prevent engine failure

Loix in an 106 Maxi???

[wwbroe]

Loix in an 106 Maxi???

Yes he is doing a favour to the organisers, who helped him out in the past concerning testtracks. They used to take care to close some public roads, so that Loix could do testruns on them. You have to know that in Belgium that is not so obvious, because you have to warn local government, police, fireguard etc... :( They asked him in the past allready if he could do their rally (Komen) as a driver and Loix promised he would do so if they got him a car. As he is only allowed to drive Peugeot, this was the car that came up. It is not a bad car, but nothing special, so it is just for fun. His codriver will be Kurt Declerq, who was sitting with Loix allready a few years ago in Ypres, when he was driving the C2 S1600. :p :

I think thats great news,the 106 Maxi is one of my favourite cars!
It will be interesting to see what can Loix do in a 106 Maxi.
If the car is well maintained and serviced I think Loix could be very fast!!!

He lost control of the car in a very fast section, and crashed bottom first while flying into a ditch

Here is a video from shakedown. Werner's crash is at ca 3rd minute, nothing realy serious but quite spectacular ;)

[Mirek]

Its dry. But its dark now as the ERC guys came, Gaßner was first so he drove almost at daylight

I don't think that for a good driver night is limitating that much to be slower than a lower class. For example last week on rally Sumava they were doing totaly same times on the stages in day or night. On two stages Kresta was even faster in the dark than in the daylight.

Why no Škoda livery for Kopecky?Maybe because that generation Fabia is now a old model?

[Mirek]

Fabia Kit Car has nothing to do with Škoda Motorsport. It is completely private project (developped and built by Impromat Motorsport owned by the same man as the main sponsor Auto Podbabska on the picture). There are three cars I think. Two of them in Vyskov.

In Vogelsberg rally in Germany the second stage was won by Van Eldik again, but now all WRC's are in front. Gasner looses about a small minute compared to Kahle on third stage :confused:

[wwbroe]

Very good stage time of Wevers on stage three. He comes back towards Van Eldik and is only 4sec of the leading Subaru WRC. :D

[wwbroe]

In rallysprint Vyskov, after two stages:

1. Semerad
2. Odlosik +4"3
3. Trojan +9"8
4. Pétak +10"0
5. Pantalek +11"0

Pétak realised the fastest time on stage two, go go Jozef :D :D

[Filip]

On stage 3 Trojan,Semerad and Petak all have the same time, Semerad still leading :D .

EDIT: looks like some timing error, or the stage is stopped.

[wwbroe]

What happened with Odlosik and his Pug on stage 3?

[Filip]

I think Odložilik crashed, but I'm not sure. :confused:

EDIT: It was some timing error, Odložilik wins the stage and takes the lead.

Again fastest time for Trneny in Fabia WRC on stage 5, i think with this type of car he should be fastest in every stage, but Odlozik keeps te lead in his Pug S2000. :D

[Tom206wrc]

Edit Madeira was quicker than me... :mark:

In Vogelsberg Rally in Germany, Wevers has taken the lead from Van Eldik. He is now 7 sec in front of him. Kahle is fourth overall in his Porsche GT3 after 6 stages. :D

Trneny had differential problems on the first section but anyway it is no secret that he drives veeery carefuly in WRC because he must not damage them for his customers ;)

]Trneny was doing some field ploughing on stage 6. Pulec had a puncture and Sykora spin and stalled engine.

This Trneny is not a great driver, is he? I would think that with Skoda Fabia WRC he should be largely on top of the timesheets, shouldn't he? ;)

[Mirek]

wwbroe: He is an owner of Profiko team. He usualy does slow times with WRC which he can't damage for his customers. But after several years he sit into an N4 Mitsubishi for international champ which was quite surprising for us. And he was slow on Valasska but in his second outing on Sumava he was realy fast. And what's more he was also spectacular and that was something realy incredible for us :D He finished 6th after a big fight with Peták and Triner (just between them).

[Madeira]

What happened to Bernardo Sousa on stage 4, he is not in the results? :confused: :confused: :confused:

Bernardo has retired. He hit a stone and damaged two wheels...

Ok, thanks Mirek, will he be driving in Barum in august, then maybe i will have chance to see him performing? ;)

In Vogelsberg Rally in Germany, Van Eldik is now back in the lead but only just, after stage 7:

1. Van Eldik
2. Wevers at 1"9
3. Wallenwein at 59"2
4. Kahle at 1'55"8
5. Gassner at 2'04"1

[Mirek]

wwbroe: Don't know and if he I doubt You will remember him as he will have No. about 40-50 in my opinion...

Anyway stage 7 running in a rain. Semerad was 20 seconds off. Petak made a stuning time and took the lead from odlozilik :)

Great, so now both S2000 Pug's in front. :D :D :D

[Mirek]

So, it's over:

1. Peták, 207
2. Odložilík, 207 +13
3. Semerád, Evo 9 +19
4. Trojan, Evo 9 +31
5. Jelínek, Evo 9 +33

Kopecký with 2WD Fabia KC was doing well in the last wet stages but was quite off the pace before (maybe because he had a co-driver he never raced with before).

Edit: Odložilík was out on stage 7 - the same place as Semerad was and where Firla ended his rally after them.

[wwbroe]

On Pirelli Rally Mark Higgins is out on stage 10 with blown engine :mad: Wilks keeps on dominating the rally, after stage 11:

1. Wilks
2. Hanninen at 57"8
3. David Higgins at 2'21"7
4. Morrow at 2'38"8
5. Flodin at 3'04"5

[wwbroe]

With one stage remaining in Vogelsberg Rally Germany:

1. Van Eldik
2. Wevers at 11"5
3. Wallenwein at 1'28"6
4. Gassner at 2'30"4
5. Kahle at 2'45"7

[wwbroe]

Rally Porto is also finished. It was an easy victory for Magalhaes. Stage 6 was cancelled. He took victory from Fontes at 2'08"7 and Peres at 4'36"2. If you see the time differences, and this in only 6 competitive stages, i think i am right if i say it was an easy victory for Bruno. :D

[wwbroe]

Vogelsberg Rally in Germany is finished also:

1. Van Eldik
2. Wevers at 3"7
3. Wallenwein at 1'49"0
4. Gassner at 2'36"0
5. Kahle at 3'44"2

So it was a close finish but Van Eldik kept his head cool to take victory by a couple of seconds. :rolleyes:

Tha rally was run under terrible weather conditions. Fog and a lot of rain, just like in Portugal 2001. The stage 6 was cancelled because a safety car was stuck in the mud.

Drama for Van Eldik in Vogelsberg Rally. He finished last stage and was overall winner with 3"1 advantage over Wevers, but he clocked in too late at final timecontrol and received a penalty of 20 sec, so Wevers is the new winner. :eek:

What a nice result on the Böttcher Rally Vyskov !!! :bounce:

[Wim_Impreza]

For you, but not for me. :( Jan Kopecký is only 9th, Karel Trněný 11th and Igor Drotár already retired in SS1 with his beautiful Octavia WRC. What happened with them?

[Mirek]

Drotár had a gearbox failure after 3 kms of SS1. But he said he should compete in complete Czech sprintrally championship :)

Trněný had some hydraulic problems on first section (differentials and shifting). He had also one off to the field. He was very dissapointed and said they only cruised through the last stages.

Kopecky said he took it easy, not to make a mistake with his 2WD. He even didn't know his possition after last stage because he had no opponent in 2WD cars and had almost no chance against the fast 4WD :) First section was partly wet, second mostly dry and third completely wet and mudy and since there are some gravel parts on the stages it is not easy with 2WD...

Peták made two spins on SS1. Odložilík and Semerád were out on stage 7 (both hit the same bridge as Firla on the photos below). They both had intermediate tyres but it was completely wet and muddy. On the opposite side Peták was driving on cutted tyres even on those dry stages :)

Any results for the LRT Comines Rally in Belgium ??? :confused:

[wwbroe]

It was Lietaer in Subaru WRC who won, Vermeirsch in Subaru WRC second and Casier in the Polo S2000 came in third. Freddy Loix abandoned before the start of the first stage with a gearbox problem on the Peugeot 106 Kitcar. The rally was run under fine weather, dry and sunny, with Lietaer setting te pace straight from the start. Casier was second but lost some time towards the end due to some mechanical problems. ;)

It is Ludvík Otto, gentleman driver (every year he does some WRC events as Corse or Catalunya with Subaru Impreza). He is driving for his pleasure. But the car is original factory one I think.

20 minutes? Brian Madsen is 'only' 5 minutes behind at the finish of the rally.

He got a notional time.
It looks like he left the course one lap too early to get a notional time instead of the minutes he stand in the ditch.
May be someone can confirm that if he knows?!?!?!?

[Benne]

That's correct Pucky, it's kind of a maximum time for not completing the stage correctly.

Thanks all, the Bosch Rally was a fast rally and both VW Polo's run with different gearing, it worked better for Andreas Waldherr who drove a super rally and was never really in threat by any other drivers, a good result after the bad weekend we had in Belgium, Both cars run like a clock from start to finish, with only Kris Rosenberger having a scare when his car was stuck in Reverse gear before a regroup 2 stages from the finish but lucky for him it was at the entry of the service park so we could fix it.... we are still in 3rd place in the championship and all is looking good... :) .. and ps: the Austrians know how to celebrate a victory.... :D

Any news about P207 R3? I just read that Slovenian driver Rok Turk (Peugeot Slovenia) will drive P206 R3 and late this season he get new 207 r3 homologated late this year?

[Tom206wrc]

The only 207 R3 I know is running in Spain(gravel championship - driver this year Climent Domingo)...there even have no rumour of such car developped here in France :mark:

[Karbonyl]

Why isn't Odlozilik on entrylist too :confused: He decided to not to start there already before his crash in Cesky Krumlov.

[PLuto]

Why isn't Odlozilik on entrylist too :confused:

Sprintrally championship isnt interesting for him. His priority is first league. But maybe he will start in next sprint in Tisnov.

[Tom206wrc]

Thanks Pluto and Karbonyl ;)

Yes,I read it too,it would be interesting.
But the problem is that,if Peugeot makes one,it will probably be on the 207 RC which is an 1.6 turbo (R3 must be 2.0 non-turbo)

[Mirek]

There is some class R3T for turbo cars but I don't know exact regulations...

Although Trojan won the stage, by far most spectacular driver on stage was Gassner junior. First stage was only for spectators fun, 3 laps of fine gravel drifts on speedway circuit. Tomorrow real stages are coming.

Bdw can someone translate Pech`s opinion about rally. Only thing I understand is that he has great respect for very demanding and technical stages...

[Mirek]

He says:

We are after recce. It is beautiful warm weather here. For us Czechs the stages are very difficult because they are still corner-to-corner-like on a narrow road. Interesting thing is that there is a gravel part on every stage which makes it very changeble in rhytm. But we love the stages and the others Czech crews as well. It is very difficult to understand several different types of tarmac when especialy one is very slippy. We need to learn the local knowleadge of the slippery places in all the long rally. The super special stage will be a big fun as it is on a gravel speedway and we are looking forward to it.

[matSLO]

Thanks Mirek!

[urabus-denoS2000]

After the first real day in Saturnus rally,
Vaclav Pech is leading with a comfortable lead of 45 seconds in front of Hermann Gassner in second and Tomaz Kaucic in third.Pech was fast all day and he was VERY attractive,while Gassner was in his normal fast but extremely unattractive style.The only main retirement was Jaroslav Orsak.
He went off the road at a gravel section,almost no damage to the car.I spoke to him and he said that he was oversteering too much at a corner and he tried to correct the car when he went off the road with his last wheels.Then he simply slid off.
Tomorrow will be 6 more stages.

[matSLO]

Results after 1. leg of rally Saturnus:
http://on-line.rally-saturnus.si/ss_leg1.htm

From 84 starters only 49 managed to finished the leg. Quite a lot of retirements (probably most spectacular were Lamonato and Kos-first Lamonato slid off, and then Kos "parked" his yugo on Lamonato`s clio) I hoped more crews will finish the leg. It was beautiful sunny day, a little bit windy and on SS Čeče where I was it was also very dusty so I had mouth full of dust when I went home. But it was a great "circuit" stage (3 laps) , 4wds were awesome on fine downhill gravel hairpins. Pech showed why he is master like he is, I think he adapted quickly to the new stages and is now in commanding lead 45 sec. ahead of Gassner, Kaučič (who slowed in second part of leg because of tiredeness), Peljhan and others. I was surprised by Orsak being on 5th place (he wasn`t looking so fast), but then he sadly crashed on last stage of the day.

Hope for another great rallying day tomorrow and keeping fingers crossed for Pech to secure his first win on slovenian soil.

[urabus-denoS2000]

I was on Čeče too,it is a very nice stage,excellent for spectators.
Lamonatos and Kuss crash was nasty,they ended way down and picked up a few trees by the way.Im glad they are both OK.The gravel part was really tricky,6 teams retired on the first 3 corners of the gravel(Lamonato,Kus,Vidmar,Pisano,Grendene,Orsak)

[Pille]

Tallinn Rally victory went to the Finnish pair of Jukka Hiltunen / Jarkko Kalliolepo (Ford Focus WRC). Second were Estonians Ott Tänak / Raigo Mõlder (Subaru Impreza WRX STI) and third another Finnish pair Toni Klemets / Jani Laaksonen (Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 9). Klemets won the rally last year.

Results are here (http://www.rally.ee/?a=a052&b=3187) and a selection of pictures can be found here (http://recce.pri.ee/album108/fotod.html) :)

[Wim_Impreza]

For Tom206wrc: Russian driver Radik Shaymiev was 22th with his Peugeot 207 Super 2000 in Talinn Rally. ;)

Pille, where can I see the retirements and if possible the retirement reasons?

[Mirek]

matSLO: Orsak is a young driver who makes a big progress in every rally. He doesn't use drifts when it is not nercessary but he is fast especialy in fast sections ;)

[Tom206wrc]

I see Shaymiev was back in his 207 S2000 ;)

[urabus-denoS2000]

Rally Saturnus finished.Vaclav Pech won,Kaučič second and Gassner third.
Pech had a nice day with no threat from behind.However Kaučič,Gassner and Peljhan were all fighting for second,third and forth and they finished in that order.
