How many forum members are taking their helicopters to Sardinia? ;)

Looking at the maps it's a shame that Monte Grighini is missing but travel from a base in the north (I can recommend Baia Blu Tortuga camping) is much more compact - Even stay near Alghero / Castel Sardo instead of Olbia. Not sure about the Porto Cervo finish ceremony, parking could be a problem if lots of fans decide to go. However, there is a really great little trattoria doing traditional Sarde cuisine in the street heading down to the quay.

Last year, driving the stages in Sardinia, I've seen a Mainland-event: massive crowds, hundreds of meters of road full of spectators... the spectators access in Tergu (halfway thru the stage) was completely full of cars, more than 1 km of car parked in both sides... never seen that before. Stages quite flowing and fast, service park close to the city-center, ceremonies (start in Sassari's main square, finish in Porto Cervo), etc. All much more interesting than in 2008-2011 period... :D

It is not correct! If you see on facebook the comments on this post, see the following: "I'm not going to drive in Portugal ..".
So Nikara is out for Portugal.
And now Prodrive?

Is there any info about stage locations available before that? It would be nice to know from which locations to book the hotels.

I've been there 3x. Best possible location is anywhere near Olbia, distances from there to the stages are not too big. :)

[Simorally86]

stages location is similar to last year event, Olbia is the HQ of the rally..stages are not so far from there

the tests are those, but be careful in those maps there are mistakes ... then almost certainly in guide2 rally there will be small; but spectacular changes to the tests.

[MartijnS]

Booked flights and hotel(s) tonight! :)
300,15 euro per person wednesday till sunday excl car ;)

[makinen_fan]

I was looking for flights and hotels as well for the rally. Can you recommend where is best to stay? In the centre of Olbia near service park? Is the traffic terrible to move around and thus better to stay at outskirts?
Is there entrance fee for the stages?

[MartijnS]

Were staying in a hotel like 5 minutes outside of the centre. No traffic problems in Olbia :) No entrance fee too! And we've got an other hotel saturday night in Alghero, because we fly to and from there and have to leave early sundaymorning..

[Simorally86]

In 10/15 Km from Olbia there are many B&B or residences, quite cheap. I always booked in Porto San Paolo, 10 min drive from the Service Area...nice place, nice beaches and quite close to the stages!

[Bartolbia84]

The QS, Monte Pinu, on the contrary it becomes very difficult and spectacular, the switchbacks are from handbrake. The most important thing is to go to safe positions, both the public and the media/Photo because as evidence in the final section is very narrow, with few escape routes.

[Bartolbia84]

The jump that you put in the picture was in the PS "Terranova", unfortunately this year that special trait will not be out of the race path. The test will be different compared to 2012.


Meanwhile, even Sepp Wiegard confirms that it will be at the start of the race on a Skoda Fabia S2000.

[Motorsportfun]

^^

There's a jump towards the end of the stage last year and in 2011, you can reach it driving this road: gmap-pedometer.com (http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=5923316)
But the route has changed, so probably this year we wont see that.

Question to the Sardenga experts:
I' will be first time in Sardinia WRC + first time that my family will be with me on WRC so the pressure is big :)
I would like to show them a rally athmosfere and to go to Monte Lerno Micky jump -on google earth map it's difficult to identify a route which goes to there and to avoid many km walk. Could you help which is the best way to go as near as possible . Thanks

Here it is a route from the Service Park entrance to the spectators access road: gmap-pedometer.com (http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=5945970)
Quite close from Olbia driving these roads, quite flowing and fast: about 45 minutes (not driving as hell!)...

From that point onwards the area (which goes thru the forest with two big hairpins), you can use the Pattada-municipality-arranged shuttle-bus service that brought you to the spectators area. At least I've seen that back in 2011!

I just see the Spectator info and Google maps etc. for PS Castelsardo and Tergu-Osilo, but the official spectator zones are mainly tarmac gravel crosses - do you have any proposal which accesible and good place out of the spectator zones?

[MartijnS]

At Tergu-Osilo, thats the only spot where you can access the stage easily besides start and finish, but it's not that special we think ;)
Last year we went to this spot at Castelsardo: http://www.rallymedia.nl/images/2012/rallysardegna/Nobre%204.jpg
First real corner right, next to the red arrow at the map. Easy to access via the gravel road that goes left, just before the start. Park the car at some farm or something and walk for a few minutes. Not that great action, but easy to get to.

[Motorsportfun]

The "Tergu arena" in the gravel-tarmac-gravel section is quite spectacular. Last year I went during the first pass and it was like "WOW, MY GOD!"

Lots of people, good sideways and various mistakes! Quite good indeed.

This year is planned there a double chicane, soo maybe there will be even more action.

Again, we have evidences that WRC-3, in its configuration, it's another FIA failed attempt. IMHO, WRC-3 should be a two-day format (like Junior) at each event. C'mon, it should be for young guns...

It was only small fire, almost nothing damaged. He was starting with it on second leg and also last weekend on Rally Acropolis.

C'mon, it should be for young guns...Rubbish... What makes WRC so expensive is the logistic costs, entry fees etc. I don't believe making it one day shorter (in Sardinia last year the difference was some 16kms I believe?) will make a huge difference in terms of costs. The FIA should make a calendar with 6 or 7 events to choose from, and make sure there is a category with enough competitive cars (in WRC-2 only the DS3 R3T is a competitive car, Clio R3 or Civic R3 are not even close to the DS3 in terms of speed, especially on slower events and on gravel)... The JWRC at least had some competition...

If you reduce the WRC-3 to a two-day format, then it's basically the JWRC without the age limit.

I suspect the problem with the series is the way Citroen is backing the Top Driver program. They have a lot of control over the events that drivers competing for the title enter in, which means they influence a large part of the series. I'm not really sure why Top Driver is necessary, anyway. It feels like Citroen are trying to make their own one-make series, like the Ford-JWRC relationship.

That should be a good solution too. Anyway, it's completely crazy thinking to give a 13-events calendar for a feeder series like that. Would be good to see 5-6 events in Europe, possibly not overlapping them with JWRC.

There is no reason why they couldn't support drivers in WRC-2 - but WRC-2 has a much more diverse range of cars, giving Citroen less control over the category.

[Mirek]

It's much easier for manufacturers to build R3T car than S2000, RRC or even the R4/N4. FIA failed to create a reason for manufacturers to be involved more in the 2WD category. Stupid rules in WRC3 are definitely one of the reasons.

This is good example when someone changes something just for sake of it. Old JWRC had a lot of interest, good cars, good drivers who are driving WRC cars now, some in factory teams, they were quite spectacular and not that prone to break downs.

[tommeke_B]

It is common in politics that people want to change things just to put their name on it... Seems to be happening in rallying too (plenty of examples).

but rules are (almost) same in WRC-2 and there are (so far) 32 drivers in WRC-2 even that is more expensive to drive it...
I think FIA should make JWRC inside WRC-3

[Mirek]

Yes, it is but the competitors are not same as well (for example teams with 4WD cars usually operate with higher budget). That's why You can't say that if something works in one championship it will work in the other. Besides that in my opinion WRC2 doesn't work good either despite high overall number of entrants.

[MartijnS]

So, working on the planning now!
What's the planning for friday from some of you?

I want to do 1,2,4,6,7,8. Don't like 3, so want to go straight to 2 instead of doing 3,4 like last year!
Looks like we can't stay long at the two Monte Lerno passes, but otherwise we should be okay I think..

It's the same - on 3 difficult find place which is accesible. As the timing tight i'm thinking to not see the Monte Lerno jump but other place where quicker to go in and come out. (don't have media press plate). I will be first time there so I have limited experience on Sardinia + I don't have possibility to do "recce" as I like usually.

Same plan for me! First stage...or close to the start or close to the fast ending part of the stage...then Castelsardo stage, which is amazing stage twice and then back to the jump of monte lerno stage!

For you there are two options:

a) use a plane from Torino to Sardegna
b) go by car to Genova and use the ferry for transport to Olbia

[Japé]

Sorry about all stupid questions, but I'm not too familiar with Sardinian rally. Is it so, that you are not allowed to go/watch rally in any other area than some fenced spectator area? Home page also does not say anything about tickets to stages. Where to buy and how much will be the price / ss?

[Mintexmemory]

Hi - the Rally d'Italia is a free event so no tickets are necessary :) It's a major factor in the attractiveness of the rally (the weather and the scenery are both first class too)
As for where the spectators can stand the viewing zones are just the suggested points which have better access and some interest. If you have an all terrain vehicle you can access some more remote points. Alternatively you can walk along the stage from the spectator zones, this was the best way to access the jumps on Coiluna stage where we walked from the stage start in 2011

[Japé]

Mintexmemory: Thank you for the information. Is there any time limit in Sardinian Rally that untill how long the walking along the stage is allowed for spectators before the 1st car?

[Mintexmemory]

Only speaking from 2011 experience there was no hassle from marshals provided that you respected the event and FIA official traffic. The same for moving out of the stage while it was still live. What did happen though at Coiluna was the access for the car became the stage access for competitors and we couldn't drive out until the Costa Smeralda cars had finished

[MartijnS]

You can walk whenever you want indeed..

For you there are two options:

a) use a plane from Torino to Sardegna
b) go by car to Genova and use the ferry for transport to Olbia


Tks!
I'm thinking of driving to Livorno and catch a ferry in the port of Piombino
I've visited some smaller rally events and traffic is always difficult.
there public transportation to see some points of stage and SS's?
Or is it better if I take my car?

From Torino it will be easier to take ferry from Genova to Olbia, but also version Livorno-Olbia is ok. From my experiences on Sardegna there were no problems with transportation to the stages. I dont know about public transportation there, it will be better to use your own car (or find some friend/friends and join them).

We have been so many times, in the last access to the special stage, a very fast downhill with a open right bend.

I think it'll stay as WRC because RRC is class 2, u can change car in the same class but not the class.

I read that Evans will drive Nasser's car(PX61 AYL) converted to RRC spec but why he cannot compete in wrc class?

Probably they have plans to do the rest of the season with the R5 starting from Finland? So why not score extra points in Sardinia

[rallyfiend]

Probably they have plans to do the rest of the season with the R5 starting from Finland? So why not score extra points in Sardinia

Possibly also because it may be slightly cheaper, and more relevant for EE to drive a RRC and get match fit for the R5, rather than the less relevant full WRC-spec.

[Motorsportfun]

Just spoke to Nasser's co-driver!

He told me FIA didn't allowed them to run the rally in a RRC-spec car, so they'll use the usual #6 WRCar!

EVANS STEPS IN FOR AL-ATTIYAH TO CLAIM WRC DEBUT IN SARDINIA (http://www.qatarmsportwrt.com/news-at-qatar-m-sport/evans-steps-in-for-al-attiyah-to-claim-wrc-debut-in-sardinia.html) Elfin with the WRC car confirmed.

I can't understand this move. Matthew should check if he has been disinherit... ;)

This probably counts as one of EE's 5 free events so less competition in WRC2 for Matthew in RRC ;)

Matthew will drive R5 ;)

[vino_93]

so ,evans with wrc or rrc ?

I read some websites saying WRC, and other RRC ... with news coming from today :mad:

[prisciou]

According to the official website of WRC, Evans drive WRC because FIA refuse conversion WRC -> RRC.

[rallye-vid]

Good luck! First time in a WRC car with a new co-driver.

So that means Rally Finland (?) for Mikko Pajunen? Either S2000 or RRC or even R5?

Now if only that could happen for Rally GB...

Think that will depend on whether. M Sport can win WRC2 and just who needs to prevent a competitor taking enough points!

And not a single sponsor in sight.

It's nice to have money ...

[Motorsportfun]

^^

Anyway it's great having these cool liveries, instead of bad-looking "factory" m-sport-cars :D

[Prisoner Monkeys]

M-Sport's problem is that they have too many colours. There's red, white, blue, green and black. And while only the red dominates, there's still simply too much going on.

Solution is quite easy! Look at Sauber: they got a grey livery and many sponsors keep their logo without colors, but just the name.

Was looking at the spots of SS 12/16. Due to changes in the stage you can go the Crastazza's Jump anytime you want, but its still the same problem with the road being closed 3 hours before the first stage and being closed all day I think at the first part of the stage where you go to Pino's jump? I think i found a way to avoid the spot just at the big road though.

Tamrazov will not start: Official site of "AT Rally Team" (http://en.atrally.com/m/news/one-crew-for-sardegna)


This weekend AT Rally Team's crew PG Andersson and Emil Axelsson will drive #83 Ford Fiesta RS WRC with a task of reaching top-5 times and successful finish at WRC Rally Sardegna 2013.
Unfortunately, there will be only one team's crew at this event. Oleksii Tamrazov and Pavel Cherepin who already arrived to Italian island and made one day of recce, will not take start at Rally Sardegna because of technical issues with new team's Ford Fiesta S2000 purchased prior to announcing advanced team program and delivered to the team disposal directly at Sardegna from South Africa.
Thus, all team efforts will be directed on successful performance by Swedish crew Andersson/Axelsson while Ukrainian one Tamrazov/Cherepin focuses on preparation to European Championship event Rally Ypres (Belgium, June 28-29).

How many s2000 tamrazov has?The s2000 that he has this weekend is different from that in acropolis?

Tamrazov is off from Rally Italy, due some technical issues with his car.
The AT team has three Super 2000 cars. 1 car RRS or WRC spech, and 2 cars super 2000 Ford Fiestas. The last car was bought recently and thay are not fully prepeared.

[Andre Oliveira]

The first S2000 are rented to Bernardo Sousa, i don't know if the car are not here at Portugal.

why? it is 4th on the road

edit: sorry i missed the message of investigation

[Fly_Half]

Can't seem to find any reference to it online...speeding on a road section maybe? I can't think of any other reason why the Police would be involved.

[Sardalense]

The first S2000 are rented to Bernardo Sousa, i don't know if the car are not here at Portugal.

I think that the car that Bernardo is driving is here in Portugal. At least I saw a photo of the car being prepared where Bernardo had his previous Fiesta S2000.

You can follow Citroen racing(@CitroenRacing) on Twitter. They post regulary times from shakedown and the stages, in addition to other news regarding the rally.

[MJW]

Anyone know where we can follow Practice and Qualifying times please?
The teams official Twitter accounts, the teams personal PR persons, Anna Louise Rudd, Linda Martins etc, plus George Donaldson, Julian Porter and Becs are all good. Usually times, maybe a few photos etc. Also the likes of Tone and Georgina Finney update the drivers usual twitter, Mads and Mikko etc.

[Mad cat jnr]

I have used a website previously to veiw the results, but cant remember which. Is it best of rally live?

I think that the car that Bernardo is driving is here in Portugal. At least I saw a photo of the car being prepared where Bernardo had his previous Fiesta S2000.

Both cars that Sousa is using this year are actually registered in Estonia. PG is using the one that Sousa used in Acores. Sousa has used another Estonian registered car since then.

[noel157]

Bluuford, presume weather is going to stay as today? Hot and very dusty.

[bluuford]

Actually temperature should drop a little tomorrow, but wetaher should stay dry. The only problem I can see is the possibility that it is completely calm during the first 2-3 stages. It should get more cooler on Saturday, some clouds are expected and even some very light rain might appear. But that is still far. Lets wait and see.

Both cars that Sousa is using this year are actually registered in Estonia. PG is using the one that Sousa used in Acores. Sousa has used another Estonian registered car since then.

Sousa uses RRC on Açores, and have plans to use them on Portuguese champ, but federation denied the use of RRC on national champ, so he order the S2000 too (the 2 cars were here), then he use the S2000 at Guimarães and Vidreiro, the RRC are gone.
