Hungarian Rally Championship

[Grant_RSA]

Can anyone tell me about the Veszprem Rally , Henk Lategan from South Africa will be contesting this rally and it would be interesting to know more about it.

He will contest the event in a Skoda Fabia S2000

[kbalaazs]

Here is the official website of the Rally: ::::::: 20. Veszprém Rallye ::::::: (http://www.veszpremrallye.net/news)

There is also an entry list: https://docs.google.com/viewer?url=http://www.veszpremrallye.net/docs/uploaded/1372262836.pdf

At the end of the supplementary regulations, You can find the itinerary! Three of the 4 stages are good quality gravel!

[Grant_RSA]

Thanks for the info, i look forward to see how he goes there, he did pretty well in Italy so will be interesting to see how he compares .

I see there are a number of ex WRC cars entered, this will make a good result a bit more difficult.

FYI Henk is only 19 and this will be only the 2nd time he will write his own notes on Recce.

[urabus-denoS2000]

Very nice rally, with some sections with big jumps coming one after another :)

[jolle1982]

it was 2008 ther. fnatstic rally with the big special stage near the service area. but i think they didnt drive this stage in the last years!?

Yes You're right! That stage missed in the last years, now it returns refreshed. Service moved to nearby Arena Veszprem. Other 3 stages are mixed with fast sections and narrow forest sections. One stage of these has a downward tarmac section at the end, with 6-7 hairpins.

kbalaazs can you tell me if the watersplash wich was part of the jutaspuszta stage in former years (veszprem/mikulas) is also part of this years marko-jutaspuszta stage??

[kbalaazs]

Wrc1, yes, it will be part of the stage, perhaps on the 2/3, on the northern side.

Short interview with Henk before the rally:

: : RallySport.hu - Henk Lategan want to learn in Hungary : : (http://rallysport.hu/info/2013/07/07-10_orb_henk_lategan_interju_en.html)

[Grant_RSA]

Fri, thanks for the link.

I chatted to Henk earlier in the week, from what he said the stages sound quite similar to the Rally we have here next weekend in Port Elizabeth, so is a very good preparation for our own NRC round.

I have never heard anything about rallying in Hungary so will be very interesting to compare his times.

[Fri]

here you can find a video from 2011:
: : RallySport.hu - 18. Veszprém Rally 2011 : : (http://www.rallysport.hu/images/2011/video/039-rshu_veszprem_rally.htm)

and from 2010:
17. Prince Veszprém Rally - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=PoaQxy5GlBs)

[Grant_RSA]

The footage confirms what he said. Lets see how he goes.

[Grant_RSA]

Henk got a 3rd overall, about 30 sec off the lead. Sounds like he had a bad road position on the friday and struggled with dust.

Overall a very good performance.

[WUff1]

Can anyone tell me about the Veszprem Rally , Henk Lategan from South Africa will be contesting this rally and it would be interesting to know more about it.

Henk Lategan is a protégé of Raimund Baumschlager and his Austrian BRR-Team, like Chris Brugger.

Citroën officially enters the 2019 hungarian championship :confused:
Who's the driver(György Balkanyi)?? I don't know his former results/performances :confused:

http://www.rallysport.hu/info/2019/03/03-20_orb_citroen_hu_szezonelo.html


Edit: on Duen they seem to write apparently the driver will be Valenczei Adam :mark:

http://www.duen.hu/hirek/a_citroen_a_top_kategoriaban_ter_vissza/

[sb7]

Adam Velenczei will be driver with Gabor Zsiros co-driving.
Gyorgy Balkanyi is a team manager/member.

[TWRC]

Yes, he was Bútor's team manager from the early 2000s when they used the Saxo Kit Car in the importer team, then later managed the Peugeot Hungaria supported teams. All in all a good thing, as since Skoda left with Herczig, there wasn't really an importer supported team here. Hopefully they can do well and even win a rally or two (Velenczei hasn't won yet, so let's see how he will be doing...)

[Mirek]

Vincze won Miskolc Rallye. Velenczei would be in the battle with Vincze and Turán for the victory but he lost nearly three minutes on SS5.

1. Vincze (Fabia R5) 1:21:13,7
2. Turán (Fiesta R5) +14,6 (10 sec jump start on SS1)
3. Német (Fabia R5) +1:28,2
4. Balogh (Fabia R5) +1:46,4
5. Dudás (Evo IX R4) +2:51,1
6. Trencsényi (Fabia R5) +2:58,7
7. Velenczei (C3 R5) +3:06,3
8. Osváth (Fabia R5) +3:24,2 (10 sec pen.)
9. Lencse (Fiesta R5) +3:45,6
10. Maricsek (Evo IX R4) +3:47,6

Today there was the traditional gravel Mikulás Rallye held in Hungary with some interesting foreign guests (Cais, Neubauer, Martin Semerád or Koči). One stage was canceled because an old artillery shell was dug out of the road :eek: Semerád started with Mirage Proto and finished second among non-R5 cars (behind Hevesi with gr.A Evo IV) and Koči won 2WD with Fiesta Rally4.

1. Turán (Polo R5) 49:30,5

What was the problem with Cais and the start selection position?

I saw something on his social media, kind of complaining that for some reason he was the last driver to choose the start position and therefore the only available position was first.

[Steve Boyd]

One stage was canceled because an old artillery shell was dug out of the road :eek: The same thing happened on the Manx International Rally about 20 or 25 years ago. I wonder if it's happened on any other rallies?

Yes, it says next year they switch over to the new 208s, as this year they still had the old ones. It also says that the prizes and entry fees are going to stay the same, and they also get discount from Pirelli.

[Tom206wrc]

WHAT ????? Mads Östberg will be Citroën Hungary driver this season ???? :eek: :eek: :confused:

http://www.duen.hu/hirek/vilagbajnok_parost_indit_a_citroen

[the sniper]

Random, but glad to see him gainfully employed! There are too few opportunities for professional rally drivers.

[Tom K]

So, Hungarian calendar was changed and now another event - Salgo Rally collides with WRC round (Sardinia).

[Mirek]

Kopecký for Topp Cars team in Hungarian championship. Confirmed by himself.

[RS]

Surprise re: Kopecky! On Pirelli too i see which will be a change for him..

Where is all this money for rallying coming from all of a sudden, especially during a pandemic and economic recession resulting? Great entries in Italy, Ostberg & Kopecky in Hungary, ERC potentially not looking too bad either..

[Mirek]

Petr Semerád will probably drive in Hungarian championship too.

[Jarek Z]

Yeah, entry list in Italy and France look better than before the pandemic. I don't understand this world anymore ;)

[PLuto]

Because there is lack of events. So everybody is trying to start anywhere possible...

[PLuto]

And I think on first round it will not be only about Ostberg and Kopecky ;)

[Ciko]

Gryazin will also start

Extremely bad results of the new Ford Fiesta Rally3 cars. One is 26th and the other one 28th overall.
1. It's the driver that does the driving
2. Rally3 is noticeably heavier than rally4 and only a bit more powerfull + when the stages are fast with few low gear corners the 4wd is not and advantage

[dimviii]

Gryazin took 10sec penalty from a chicane.
He is going 2 stages to finish with 0,6 sec behind Mads.
Mads won previous stage ss 7

[dimviii]

Gryazin lost 15,1 sec to Mads at ss 8. What happened? spin,puncture?

[dimviii]

WTF? Mads lost 1,53 min at last stage!
https://www.ewrc-results.com/results/69734-therwoolin-boldogko-rally-2021/?s=321362


edit puncture for Mads.

[Jarek Z]

It seems a deserved win for Gryazin, because he won most of the stages - 5 out of 9.
Ostberg drops from 1st to 5th after a puncture on the last stage.

[Jarek Z]

Have a look at the dramatic action of rescuing that Fiesta from the ditch :)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gShbYGZXsy4

[Steve Boyd]

Modern cars just aren't right. With that many people you could pick up carry a Mk1 Escort with big steel wheel arches out of a ditch like that. Those wheel arches made great carry handles!

[RS]

Gryazin is impressing this year. Maybe having a fast car he doesn’t have to push too much is helping.

[TWRC]

Róbert Bútor has just unveiled his newly bought C3 WRC. It is the ex-Saintéloc Pirelli test car, chassis #20. He sold his Fabia R5, then got his 306 Maxi part exchanged for the C3. He also mentioned that it is completely rebuilt, as there was a customer for Saintéloc for this season to drive the car in the WRC, but due to Covid the money wasn't enough, and the programme was scrapped.
He said that he plans on driving the car for a few more years before complete retirement. He will do 2-3 rallies in a year, this season he plans on doing Pécs, Veszprém and Mikulás, with public and previously announced test before all of the rallies.
Edit: he also got a very extensive spares package, with 120 rims, 5 sets of body panels, Ogier's and Lappi's setups, etc. :D He also mentioned that Ogier's ex-engineer is helping them in the beginnings, and also told them that all the aero upgrade parts and documentation was scrapped when Ogier decided to leave.

[Mirek]

It will be very difficult (and expensive) to keep this car running...

I guess he is aware of that.

[TWRC]

I guess he is aware of that.
Yes, he said that obiously before buying, they discussed this topic as well. The amount of SS km he does is relatively small (he did about 2600km with the Fabia R5 in 3-4 years, including testing). The car is totally refurbished, the engine has 1000km, that has to be refurbished at 4000km. He also added that Citroën Hungary and TRT will be able to help him with these (as the engine, transmission etc. can only be refurbished at Citroën Racing).

[Tom206wrc]

Good news...it's better to see this Citroën running, rather than ending in a museum ;)

[mknight]

I don't quite understand why Østberg and Kopecky can't keep up on this rally. Arguably I have little idea about Hungarian drivers, but on previous rally Østberg was faster than them and last year on Hungary ERC they were getting beaten by a lot of other drivers.

[Mirek]

Don't know how it is now but in the past Eger stages used to be mostly super fast wide roads (slippery with dirt) with gazillion of chicanes and several very rough and slow narrow forest sections, i.e. very specific. Now it may be wet as well (tomorrow for sure).

Catastrophic last loop for the drivers of Ford Fiesta Rally 4 and Mitsubishi Lancer :s

Now the leading Peugeot cup drivers are 14th and 15th overall after leg one(Nemet and Hangodi) :eek:

[mknight]

SS6 was full wet for all and raining, SS5 maybe dryish for first drivers (no vid). On SS6 Touran either had wrong tires or they just didn't work cause he was visibly slower than others and sliding around.

It looks like Kopecký chose slicks while others not and it paid off.

Kopecky supposedly picked more dry tires for the last loop, to risk it. Given his position before with good margin behind it's totally understandable.

Disappointed with another difficult weekend in Hungary. We suffered from an engine issue from start to finish, getting worse, ending the rally without any power left. I’m not happy. We can't continue to have these problems! Now we focus on Portugal. We have a new engine for that

The penultimate round of he hungarian Championship was won this weekend by Ostberg and Eriksen after a pretty dominant display. Early on they had a 30s penalty, which was later removed. 2nd was Hadik after his crash in Veszprém, followed by Velenczei on the last podium step. 4h was Klausz, 5th was Csomós after loosing a lot of time on the first day with a puncture. Turán's torrid season continues, as he was forced to retire with a technical problem (broken driveshaft).

Championship-wise, Hadik's lead is now pretty good over Csomós, with maybe Klausz and Ostberg having an outside chance.

Yes, well done to them, they drove an almost flawless season (Veszprém crash aside) and deservedly became champions. But the breakout this season for me was Csomós and his codriver Attila Nagy, they really got up a notch and if they can eliminate some mistakes which cost them many points (Mecsek crash for example), then they will be big favourites to win the title next year. Of course, terrible season for Turán (he has one every 2nd year), so next year he should be back also, but he just put up his Polo for rent for next year.

Mads Östberg back in the hungarian championship this season with Citroën, and Patrik Barth as new codriver ;)

I'm not sure I understood correctly(despite the Google Translation), but it seems one team in the Hungarian Peugeot Cup would offer a few ERC rounds to the winner(of 2023?) :confused: :confused:

Interesting presence of young german driver Timo Schulz in the Opel Corsa Rally4 on the first event of hungarian championship next week :)
PS: probably a training for his Junior ERC program :confused:

His opponents will be the 11 drivers of the Peugeot Rally Cup and two Ford Fiesta drivers ;)

Really nice performances of Timo Schulz for his first outing with Opel(after 4 stages)! He's well ahead of the Peugeot 208 Cup drivers :)

"Janika"(Janos Toth)back in competition next week at the Salgo Rally! :D

He entered the local Peugeot Cup(and he's part of the cup organizers team)but he didn't drive since a very long time, so... :mark:

Very very sad news from Veszprém Rally. Csaba Nemes, well-known Lada VFTS co-driver and driver died this morning on SS1 in an accident. What's even worse is that his son was co-driving him this weekend. He was a legendary figure in the VFTS community, claiming multiple titles in the early 2000s co-driving for Péter Osváth. Rest in peace!

He was taken to hospital for further checks.
There is currently a memorial going on for Csaba in the SP.
Edit: and of course, the rally was stopped immediately after SS2.

I have to correct myself, it was his brother, Richárd, co-driving him, not his son.
Richárd was taken to hospital with minor injuries, his back/shoulder was hurt a bit.
