About Norway, Rally kl. 7 – N-CUP * and Rally kl. 8 – N-CUP *.

Norge Cup? http://bilsport.no/poengstilling-2/

[Coach 2]

This is a cup for drivers with c license.
Normally, it is estimated that these drivers can not compete for the Norwegian Championships.
They therefore have been given a separate cup to fight for.

[Andre Oliveira]

Only rallies? I can't find some. No name of rally.

I think some are here:

http://ewrc-results.com/season.php?s=2015&sct=57&nat=4&t=Norway-others

[Coach 2]

I'm not sure I understand the question or what the problem is.
If you enter the web page you describe above, for so to entre page for example the N-Cup 7 (Norges Cup klasse 7), one will find the 14 rallys one can retrieve points from.

[Andre Oliveira]

I am of eWRC-results team. I want add Norge Cup as championship, but i don't know wich events are descrive on points cause no name of event. We have some (my thinking, judge by name) on the link that i posted.

This two guys is real impressive, best buds from theire childhood, hard work and good results thru several years has gotten them into an R5 together with røhneselmer and adapta.
Torstein has even quit his job to be a codriver 100%, all NM and a couple of ERC this year together with Frank Tore, BRC with Fredrik åhlin, gravelcrew for Mads Østberg, and rental codriver at M-sport.

Oliver Solberg will attend the FFSA Academy from next fall. With Loeb as the mentor for the rally part of the school, it will not be a bad place to start.....

[Sulland]

First round of NM took place last weekend.
results: http://www.sigdalsrally.no/resultater_total/13?use_template=empty

Østberg in WRC 18 Fiesta got problems with a rear brake that disintegrated. Probably by snowspray on redhot disc. Retired
Gryazin won with impressive drive. Won.
Grøndal second, but max points in championship.
Henning also got brake issues, but fixed and continued to 3rd in his old Lancer 6,5.
Oscar Solberg had rented a Fabia from his halfbrother and had a ball in the R5. Started with safety margin. Started to play with car on two last stages, and won last SS. Loved the car. He will try to get budget for more rental!! Fourth.

Anders Kjær have re-buildt himself a Golf 2 GTi, that is flying. 6th overall.

Frank T Larsen is not driving in Norway this season, but in Europe. Same with Brynildsen.
So R5 competition not as strong this year.

Next round. Rally Finnskog, 3 Feb.

In Norway we had something called "rallystopp", from 70ies to early 80ies, it was practically forbidden to run a rally these years, so many Norwegians raced abroad. Terje was "all over" europe these years racing.

Really long story, but a minister in norway, Reiulf Steen, was a part of it.
When Per Engseth, one of the grand old men i Norwegian rally, crashed at stageend at Pellestova north of Lillehammer, he took the possibility to make the rules so complicated it was imposible to do a regular rally (guards every 50m for example).
The reason he crashed was that TV moved the finish 300m to get better pictures, without telling the crews.
It took around 10 years before the next rally in norway, at a military field in Elverum, took place.

Some text in Norwegian:


Vi har takket være Torstein Øiseth og KNA Kongsvinger fått tak i noen historiske dokument fra tiden med rallystopp i Norge. Vi ser først litt kort på hva som skjedde med rally i Norge på begynnelsen av 70 tallet.
Årsaken til at begret*rant over og vi fikk rallystoppen Norge*var*en ulykke i*Rally Norge i 1970**En utøver*dro volsomt*av*veien i forbindelse med målgang,*Utøveren traff forøvrig den første Honaen som*ble importert*til Norge, bremsestrekkningen etter mål var så kort at det var problemer med å få stanset bilene før tidskontrollen, etter*denne ulykken*ble det*rallystopp i Norge.
Den strekningen som ulykken skjedde på var også TV etappe. Kameraene fulgte ikke*utøveren da han dro av, men en tabloid avis*blåste opp saken i påfølgende mandagsavis med overskriften "Her er bildene tv`n ikke viste". Deretter ble det nedsatt en komitè som skulle vurdere rallysportens fremtid i Norge, den komiteèn hadde en positiv holdning til rallysporten og mente at den ikke måtte forbys.*Rallysporten ble deretter*ilagt så strenge restriksjoner av Samferdselsminister Reiulf Steen, han mente at om det skulle kjøres rally i Norge skulle det være så strengt vakthold at det ble tekniskt umulig å arrangere rally i Norge.
Rallystoppen varte fra Farris Vinter Rally i Larvik Januar 1971 frem til 1984.
NMK Larvik søkte før årskiftet 1970*og fikk invilget sin søknad, derfor ble det det siste rallyet som ble kjørt før rallystoppen. Løpet ble vunnet av Erik Aaby**1 sekund*føre John Haugland.
Da det ble tilatt å kjøre rally igjen i Norge var det forløperen til Østfoldrally som var først ut, det løpet ble kjørt høsten 1984.
I mellomtiden ble det arrangert "bakkeløp" for rallybiler blant annet på Dokka og i Sandefjord, disse "bakkeløpene" ble kjørt på kveldstid ,men disse løpene*var egentlig kamuflerte rallys.
Etter iherdig lobbyvirksomhet i stortinget kom rally i gang igjen på høsten 1984.
I starten var det kun godkjent med pigger som var godkjente av veimyndighetene.
det er fra denne tiden ordtaket "husmorpigg" dukket opp.
Det ble*tøyd med dette da reglene*presiserte at overhenget på piggene skulle være 1,2 mm på et nytt dekk ,før det er tatt i bruk,*så her var det tilatt med kreativ tenking for*når dekkene var montert på bilen og bilen sto på hjulene var i prinsipp dekkene brukte og da var det om å gjøre å få de piggene så langt ut som mulig. etter en periode ble det tilatt med 100 ekstra pigger (opp til 210 pigger pr. dekk). Etter dette ble det tilatt med pigger som veide 2,5 Gr, men med fri lengde. Dermed måtte Bilsport Forbundet kjøpe seg ny brevvekt. Disse piggene ble kalt Norskepiggen.*Ca 1990 ble det en tilnærming til de andre Skandinaviske landene og dermed kom rallypiggene tilbake til Norge.

I perioden med rallystopp ble det arrangert noen få prøverallyer og et av disse var Rally Finnskog 1982. Vi har med hjelp fra Torstein Øiseth og KNA Kongsvinger fått tak i historiske dokument fra 1982. På Lørdag kan du lese søknaden fra KNA Kongsvinger til Kongsvinger Politikammer, men det er mere spennende på gang, vi har også tileggsreglene og om du følger med så blir det*flere historiske øyeblikk her på norsk-rally.com.
Sitter du på historiske norske rally dokumenter er vi intresert i å komme i kontakt med deg.

[Rallyper]

Veiby lost loads of time on SS2...

[Sulland]

Veiby into a ditch on ss2, a lot of snow showeling to get out. And of course no fans in the forrest, due to Corona.

Two good fights at the end;

1st place fight: Marius Aasen that has been struggeling to get his new Rally2 Fabia to work till the end of a rally, suddenly he got the package to work, and gained more milage and the speed got better. On last stage he passed Frank Tore Larsen in a Polo, amd took the win. Mr Aasen And wife Marlene Engan makes a comeback after 3 years away from rally. So they still got it.

3rd place fight also decided on last stage when Henning Solberg, that was first on the road, and with weather turning from -10 C to just above zero degrees overnight, madte it slushy. Not easy for the first cars.
Henning did a sprint in his rented Fiesta on last stage and passed Anders Grøndal in a Rally2 Fiesta.

Anders has been struggeling to get the Rally2 Fiesta to work well on gravel and snow, and had new parts from M-Sport flown in and fitted. New engine, box and diffs. But With little to no testimg of the new parts, he is way off target, and car not responding when he is pushing, so he is just driving at 80%, to get maximum points. I hope they can get testimg new parts and that they get the Rally2 fiesta to work, if not I guess he will try to swap to a different brand. Not that easy when your dayjob is owning a Ford dealership.

Lets hope Corona restrictions still will allow for more rallies in weeks and months to come!

[skarderud]

Sadly the round at Sigdal is cancelled due to warm weather, after been postponed due to covid.
So, the Norwegian championship after the winterseason is after just 1 rally.
Hopefully we got some more rallies in summertime than the 3 rallies planned.

2022, Rally2 class in Norway has grown to 13 cars and HenningS said he might have a car for the next one.
Rally4 has 8-9 cars, and only old R2 cars, so it is an even field, with Røkland a small head above the youngsters.
The rest ov the 90+ cars are older national classes, many of them old rwd Cars. Some of them cost a fortune and are very quick, also on snow!

In the first rally in the 22 championship, Brynildsen won the first one with 0,2 sec over Veiby, Marius Aasen came 3rd. Close call, where Brynildsen overtook for the win on the powerstage.


Yesterday in rd 2 it was still a close call among the top 4, with Grøndal a bit back in 5th.
On the powerstage the leading Veiby first changed a puncture, then after that he caught a rock ima right hander, broke the suspension, and stuck in the middle of the road to block. Then Larsen in another Polo took the win with 4 sec over Brynildsen, with Aasen again taking 3rd

Gus Greensmith will start in Numedalsrally this weekend, in a Fiesta Rally2. He feels he need winter training before sweden.

Any bets or guesses on where he will end up on the final resultlist?

My vote is for snowbank :)

I think he'll surprise a few people... look at his progression from Monte 2021 to 2022... I'm not sure he'll win, but he won't embarrass himself.

As expected.
Snow is worst surface both for Fiesta and for Greensmith.

[Tom206wrc]

Amazing perf by Steve Rökland :D
But Ola Nore Jr(learning his Ford Fiesta Rally 4)isn't far away behind :mark:

Good fight in the top, and in the R2's/Rally4's!https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220219/b47f8f661e82a86baa9ae98e086f9e45.jpg

I think he did what he should.

New stages for GG and where all the Norwegian guys done them several (hundreds?) times, so not comparable.

Yes he shut down the critics and showed everyone exactly why he is a fulltime WRC driver.... (copy+paste from Dirtfish after Monte)

Trolling aside Gryazin started in Norway in similar situation a few years back...and won. (In a Fabia though)

[skarderud]

I don't think the Fiesta Rally2 helped him, to be ironic, but the level in Norwegian rally is extremely high this season, i actually don't think any WRC driver would have an easy drive on this one.

Since Veiby was clear winner next week in WRC Sweden we will find out how "extremely high level" it is ;)

GG did loose nearly 2min (with Factory Rally2, he was driving "Kristenssons JWRC prize car), miracles must happen if he is competitive in WRC Sweden.

[skarderud]

I think Mikkelsen in a Skoda is above Veiby, but a Norwegian going to win there;)

But, how competative is the polo now? Any upgrades last years?

Brynhildsen has a older Fabia, and beats Aasen in a Rally2 Fabia.

At these traditional national rallies with classic stages, it is hard to beat the locals anyway.

But at snow, Veiby should be inside the top 4 in Sweden .

I was plesantly surprised with Greensmith. He was first on the road, in a car very few get to work on snow, and on stages he did not know.
I thought he would be further behind.

No one knows much on how quick the rally1 cars are on snow, if the Puma will have an edge on that surface as well.
Exiting times with new cars!

I thought he would be further behind.Plus, we don't know how hard he was pushing. He didn't need to win but he did need to get experience so had to finish. To be near the pace of the local experts was probably what he needed as part of his learning curve. We'll see how much he learned in Sweden.

Your understanding of what is going to happen in the future is pretty incredible.
But I'm afraid your prediction was meant somewhat differently.

[skarderud]

Norwegian rally championship is close, really exiting this year!https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220619/7ecb92cb8b913b57f631136b84df067b.jpg

Would like to see a Fiesta Rally3 in the hands of Steve Rokland.
Rented from Printsport or some other team renting them out.

with two days of testing, he would be up there with the older R5 cars.

[Jarek Z]

Yes, that's possible. Last weekend he managed to get into top 6 driving an old Peugeot 208 R2!
Have a look:

Henning Solberg won this weekends Rally Hadeland in front of Anders Grøndal!
Frank Tore Larsen was leading before his front shock died and ended in the ditch.

Henning Solberg won the norwegian rallychampionship today, he was second but Frank Tore Larsen got technical problems on the liason after last SS, and have to do a DNF.
It was enough to put the old fox on top.

What a thriller.

[Tom206wrc]

Looks like 2WD norwegian champion Steve Rökland switched from the 208 R2 to a Toyota 4WD this season(at least on Sigdals Rally last week) :confused:
