Luca "Rox" Rossetti is talk on Facebook..

A cosa sto pensando? Penso che mi aspetta la prima gara internazionale con la Fabia S2000; penso che sara' molto dura, Hanninen e' un fuoriclasse e tutti gli altri concorrenti con le S2000 non scherzano affatto; penso anche che il Bosphorus e' una gara su terra davvero fantastica, che ho gia' vinto nel 2010 e nel 2008 quando era valida anche per l'IRC e di conseguenza penso che mi aspetta un week end divertente! Infine penso che Fratelli d'Italia di Mameli e' l'inno nazionale più bello del mondo e mi piacerebbe proprio cantarlo domenica prossima!!!

In English :)

What I'm thinking? I think I expected the first international competition with the Fabia S2000; I think it's going to be very hard, Hänninen is a champion and all the other competitors with the S2000 not joking at all; I also think that the Bosphorus is a race on Earth really fantastic, I've already won in 2010 and in 2008 when it was also valid for the IRC and therefore I think I have a fun weekend! Finally I think brothers of Italy by Mameli is the national anthem of the world's most beautiful and I'd just sing it next Sunday!!!

The Italian national anthem is a beautiful composition indeed. But they didn't play it after the final match on Euro 2012 in Poland and Ukraine. Will they play it in Tukey on the next weekend? :)

Is it just me or does that front bumper look a bit weird? Is the 01B upgrade also available on the SPC version or what?

[Mirek]

Sure. The S2000 and WRC is same homologation. Neither WRC nor S2000 exists alone.

Dani Sordo drove 01B S2000 in Tour de Corse. Don't know if someone else has upgraded already as I was told it's something like 50 thousand Euro to do so...

Tlustak Mini is the latest spec (01B). Just arrived from Prodrive this week. Brand new :)

[Mirek]

Aha, thanks. It won't help him much though :)

If Al Kuwari was fastest then it means that nobody took this shakedown serious :)

But this picture seems quite crazy! :)

As you can see from the list so less crews start at Shakedown. Its so close to the start of rally so nobody push to limit to avoid a accident :)

As usual Castrol Ford Team Turkiye didnt attend to shakedown :) Yağız Avci and Murat Bostancı going to be very fast!

Crews now at Haydarpasa Main Rail Station as they wait for the start.
