Thread bump!

This year, the Spanish federation will host a "Super Championship", featuring four tarmac and four gravel races:

March 16-17: Rallye Tierras Altas de Lorca (Andalucía, gravel)
May 2-4: Rally Islas Canarias (tarmac)
May 25-26: Rallye da Auga (Galicia, gravel)
June 8-9: Rally de Ourense (Galicia, tarmac)
June 28-29: Rallye de Astorga (Castilla y León, gravel)
September 12–14: Rally Princesa de Asturias (tarmac)
October 18-19: Rallye de Granada (Andalucía, gravel)
November 23–24: 10º Rally de Madrid (tarmac)

Drivers will score the thee best results on tarmac and the three best results on gravel.

Cervera and Navarra fans aren't happy, of course.

Roberto Blach(winner of the Peugeot Cup Iberica)in spanish championship with a DS3 R5 :confused:

By wining the Cup he got a free R5 outing in a national rally. Apparently he managed to convice his sponsors to do some more on a rented DS3 from the Cup organizer (Sporst&You).

But not many Portuguese will drive in the Peugeot Cup Iberica(unlike in Fafe last on previous month) :confused:

[TheFlyingTuga]

But not many Portuguese will drive in the Peugeot Cup Iberica(unlike in Fafe last on previous month) :confused:

Almost same date as Azores, so some of them choose to do CPR2 instead of being in Spain. And some other guys only raced in Fafe because it was a bit cheaper

My guess is that Carlos Fernandes will be the best Portuguese 208 in there

[Tom206wrc]

Efren Llarena 11th overall after first leg Comunidad Madrid, not bad start for the new 208 R2T(ahead of Pedro Antunes leading the Peugeot Cup Iberica) ;)

[Rally Power]

Ares (i20) won Madrid rally but thanks to his P2 Lopez (C3) got his second title of the season; besides the Tarmac series (CERA) he also won the new mixed Superchampionship (SCER), run for the first time this year. Congras to him, co driver Rozada and Sports&You team!

[pantealex]

Those N5 cars are accepted in Finland 2020, so send your drivers to Finland for faster stages...

Alberto Munarri "changes" his Abarth GT for a Citroën C3 R5 :D

He will start with it in less than two weeks at Rallye Ourense ;)

[Rally Power]

Big fight between Suarez (Fabia Evo) and Lopez (C3) at Rallye Ourense, spain’s tarmac series debut. Suarez was on the lead most of the event but Lopez pushed hard on the last loop, getting a deserved win. Suarez chances were ruined in the very last SS by a puncture, dropping to P4. Ares on his i20 wasn’t able to match his rivals speed ending at P2, ahead of Monarri’s C3.

Copi Sport have replaced their Porsche 911 with a Fiesta R5 MK2 for Enrique Cruz and he won first time out in the Rally Isla de Gran Canaria. Yeray Lemes the reigning Canary Islands champion went off in his Hyundai R5

Your ewrc link say Fiesta Rally2 but you still wrote Fiesta R5 MK2 ;)

Btw, congrats to Lopez, Hernandez and Sports&You for another brilliant win in spain.

[PLuto]

I know people that still think of N2, A6, A7... ����

Most of the people involved in rallysport. When I am discussing with drivers and explaining them that ERC1 Junior is for Rally2 cars, I always must add that it is R5. When I am talking about Rally4, I always must add that it is R2. And when they are asking about R4, I must explain that it is current R4 kit from Oreca and not older R4 from Subaru or Mitsubishi or new Rally4 from Ford or Peugeot...

At the moment is looking really bad it's celebration, let's hope not but the probablility of cancellation tomorrow is really high with the new mesaures here.

[Rally Power]

Interesting development in the spanish rally scene. After introducing the mix surface ‘Supercampeonato’ (S-CER) a couple of years ago, the local ASN decided to promote it as the main rally series in 2021, changing the tarmac championship (CERA) to a ‘cup’ status (the same for the current CERT gravel series). The aim is to be aligned with the international series, allowing young crews to be more competitive in all surfaces ASAP.

If I understand correctly, the only Spanish Championship is now mixed-surface and counts 14 events... Drivers, teams and manus strongly disagree.

What?! That's more than in WRC and ERC! Some people in rally federations are completely crazy!

[Tom K]

Yep, but final standings are based on 8 events: 5 tarmac + 3 gravel, but I do not have knowledge, whether you can attend all 14 rounds and take best 5+3 results, or you have to choose before (like WRC2/3). Maybe somebody from Spain could clarify. Moreover former Tarmac and Gravel series are now only Spanish Cup (not championship).

EDIT: The table of dates will be made up of thirteen appointments, of which the teams will have to choose ten at the time of their registration to the contest (after payment of 500 euros). Of the eight results to be added at the end of the season, five will be tests on asphalt and the remaining three on gravel.

The event number 14 is show in Madrid. No points but still you have to enter to be in final standings...

I am unsure of what the rules are for cross country rallies, from a rallying point of view that's a gigantic cut :D
Few years ago, Al Attiyah complained of excessive cutting by Al Qassimi in a MERC rally, and got him either disqualified or penalized, and in the end Al Qassimi lost the championship... in the same rally, Al Attiyah was filmed cutting massively as well...

Can someone please confirm the actual dates for a couple of events? ewrc-results.com says:

1-2/10/2021 Rally de Tierra de Granada 2021
8-9/10/2021 Rallye de Tierra de Madrid 2021

Looking for more information on these events it seems Granada will take place in September and I cannot find anything definitive about the Madrid event.

Alternatively are there any other gravel events in Spain in October?

[Another CoDriver]

Can it really be true that nobody knows the dates of rallies in Spain?

[Tom206wrc]

Next week at the Rallye de Tierra Alta de Lorca(gravel event)will be the first event for Alejandro Cachon(winner of the 2021 Peugeot Cup Iberica)in the Citroën C3 Rally 2 :)

Spain are great on supporting Motorcycle talents and car racing talent and get their youngsters to the top.
What system do they have in place for rally talents that want to try to get best in the world?

First round of the Canary Islands tarmac championship takes place in Lanzarote on Saturday and having moved from its usual November date sees the rally attract a decent entry. Two Hyundai Canarias I30s including a Step 2 car for Lucky. Will be interesting to see how Cruz and Copi Sport perform now they have swictched from Ford to Toyota.

Very close at the top with Enrique Cruz adapting to the Yaris very quickly and lying 2nd behind reigning Canary Islands champion Yeray Lemes in C3 Rally 2

Just got back from a great few days in Lanzarote. Nice to see the rally attract most of this year's likely championship contenders as it was the first round as in recent years being the final event of the year the entry has suffered in comparison.

Yeray Lemes won as really expected however Cruz in his first run in the Yaris kept him honest. Luky was fast but Raul Hernandez in the Fabia was my standout driver as he was really spectacular however that probably was his undoing as he retired with double punctures.

By the way, I'm surprise our czech friends didn't bring the news before, but Jan Cerny will drive the C3 Rally2 on three rounds of the canarian rallies championship(under the colour of Citroën Canarias) ;)

Czech friends are not so interested in his starts on canarian rallies. Maybe only Rally Islas Canarias ;-)

Probably because they consider him more Canarian than Czech! He's had a place in Costa Adeje in Tenerife for some time:

Great debut victory in the Peugeot Spain Challenge at Sierra Morena for Javier Canada from Lanzarote. Will be one to watch in that series this year as shown good pace previously with a Corsa Rally4

Just judging from results i think Sergi Pérez jnr performance was much more impressive considering he is only 21 years and showed speed and consistency

Jan Cerny will drive his C3 this weekend on the Rallye Orvecame Norte(Canarias Islands) ;)

Jan Cerny will drive his C3 this weekend on the Rallye Orvecame Norte(Canarias Islands) ;)

Am interested to see how he measures up to the CCRA regulars especially Yeray Lemes the reigning champion. No Suarez in his C3 again as still suffering from his injuries sustained in Lanzarote.

Luky was leading until this...

And Yeray Lemes had an even bigger crash at roughly the same spot

A very eventful rally in the north of Tenerife was eventually won by Sergio Fuentes in the Skoda Canarias entered Fabia RS Rally 2. Enrique Cruz in the Copi Sport Yaris Rally 2 made up over 50 places after a puncture to finish 6th overall.

The building damaged by Yeray Lemes off will need to be demolished!
