[wwbroe]

Thanks for the info Sardalense, keep us imformed ;)

[tommeke_B]

Are you going to Portugal wwbroe?

[wwbroe]

Are you going to Portugal wwbroe?

I haven't deciede yet Tom, as i will be attending Sweden en probably MC, i don't know if i will get permission to go to Portugal as well. :D I will keep you imformed if i will be going. ;)

[millbrook]

I'll be there again.
Already looking forward to it. :)

[bauwie]

Does anyone have detailed maps of the special stages?

We are going for the second time now, but last year, it was difficult to find the right spots.

[Kielder]

Seventh time in Alentejo and Algarve. Waiting for Fafe Rally Sprint too, always remembering when I used to go there in the 90's.

Fafe Rally Sprint will have a night stage this year, plus the rally will be held in the north in 2015.

Yes, although the first cars will start in the sunset.
A return was rumoured this season too, but finally there wasn't an agreement (with Porto's council mainly). It could happen in 2015 again...

[Simmi]

I'd also be interested in some half decent maps. Attending for the first time this year. Keen to make the most of it.

What you doing posting in here? ;)

I thought you'd abandoned WRC for Sportscars....... ;)

[Kielder]

I'm sorry for you but the only available maps are the official ones that you can find on the rally site. They're not the best ones, but they have guided me perfectly since 2007 :) .

Haha. I never abandoned the WRC. Lost faith for a few years certainly - but got the fever back!

I have heard it's quite hard to get detailed info. What's the situation with the car parks like? Plenty of choice or funnelled into one area?

There aren't car parks on this event (it is miles away from your home event). Although sometimes you can find a parking-like place, you have to leave your car on the side of the road. So there's plenty of choice depending on the time of arriving and how famous the area you choose is.

[Barreis]

So Sordo in i20 in Portugal?

[RS]

So Sordo in i20 in Portugal?

I read that somewhere today and I was quite surprised, but when I looked he was quite fast in Portugal last year until he crashed.

I am a little disappointed how much Hyundai are "diluting" the second car, it doesn't give any of the drivers a chance to really get their teeth into it.

[Barreis]

Yesterday watched Portugal 2013 and Sordo was in fight for lead. Maybe in second part of season they'll put third car...

[Kielder]

Today's news about Sordo in Portugal are old news. It's the same that we already know since January, which is that he has a big chance to be there. So until Hyundai's confirmation that he will in Portugal and Argentina there's nothing new.

On the other hand, Chardonnet driving the DS3 R5 here are really great news.

Also Tidemand will drive the Fiesta R5 as part of his JWRC prize?

[Mintexmemory]

So what is the estimated cost of a pass for shakedown, Friday and Saturday ? I know I can do Wednesday to Saturday for 150 pounds (inclusive of petrol and food!!!)

[MartijnS]

I think its free? Already a couple of years ago we were there :)

[TheFlyingTuga]

So what is the estimated cost of a pass for shakedown, Friday and Saturday ? I know I can do Wednesday to Saturday for 150 pounds (inclusive of petrol and food!!!)

My friend, no pass! Neither in Lisbon super special, or the WRC Fafe Sprint (that I advise that it's the insane thing you'll see this year). You can come, and spend the pass money on our fantastic portuguese beer :P

:eek: Really!!! (so what are the tickets being sold on the Rally website?)
If it really is free then I could attend, from my home in London, for less than the cost of attending WRGB. I'd discounted travelling to Lisbon for 1 stage so that on Wednesday after s/d I could try the Sagres (Specially Alcoholic Gut Rot Emetic Solution) and spend Thursday recceing spectator points. Arrive Wednesday morning and leave Saturday night. This is becoming a persuasive proposition!!

As I said in a previous year the rally pass avaiable on the rally's website is not really worth it, it grants you some exclusive parking spots near the service park and an exclusive spectator zone for each day of the rally. You dont need it to spectate and you can also acess the service park without it.

Thank you, I had a recollection that you had said this in the past. In which case I shall be on e-bay raising some cash over the next 2 weeks!!

Great, I hope it all comes through and you can enjoy the rally. And as said before in this thread the beer is great and very cheap :D .

[bauwie]

Any news about participants yet?

[Simmi]

So flights, hotel, hire car all booked for this rally. Will be doing Fri/Sat/Sun.

Encouraged to hear about the cheap beer. Only thing that would make me feel better are some decent maps. Might just be a case of following the crowds.

[Andre Oliveira]

Rui Madeira - Fiesta R5

[STE-M]

4 of us are going on Wed to Mon, I to would like some more info on stages/parking.... Any recommendations are welcome....

Were staying in Villamora so if anyone can recommend any good bars/restuarants for us to visit...

As anyone used Masterkings for car hire????

[Teardrop]

According to several reports of different drivers and teams, we can expect a huge entry list to Portugal in all categories. What do you think?

[bauwie]

Yes indeed.
It's the first rally where all the classes will be in action.
Junior WRC
Ford Dmack cup
I think only in WRC it will be the usual number.

[Andre Oliveira]

Madeira on Fafe Sprint too :bounce:

[Fly_Half]

Is the crowd control still strict? An event I've always wanted to do, but heard some awful stories from other photographers.

[Andre Oliveira]

Yes. Everything fine.

[dimviii]

[Andre Oliveira]

They will be at WRC Fafe Sprint too. I bet on Sordo because the many spannish fans whose always come here.

[mousti]

A bit offtopic but this is Sousa's livery for Fafe this weekend and probably for Azores and WRC Portugal too

It's just for Rally Serras de fafe

[Mintexmemory]

Would the FIA allow what appears to be an overtly political statement on the car?

Well.. It is not political. You are seeing ghost in too many places :-)

The Portuguese Federation does not allow political allusions in the cars also. But regulations in Portugal are worthless ...

[Mintexmemory]

I think you'll agree current developments are more than a ghost

[Franky]

Can't really say that 'Be Strong Ukraine' is a political message since it doesn't take sides.

:rolleyes: ok back to the topic - Ukrainian nationalism v Russian satelite state to be continued in 'chit chat'

[Simmi]

Did our friend Melichárek ever put names against the rallies he was doing this year? If he's doing select events Portugal would be a good bet would it not?

[Simmi]

Thanks MartijnS. That is certainly useful once I'd worked out you need Google Earth to view it.

Does anyone know if there are many road closures and things like that? It is not always obvious how to get to the stages and they are often in the middle of nowhere - as is the way in rallying.

Anyway, today thursday we will have the official entrylist ;)

[rp]

No big surprises. Some kind of to see Nasser Al-Attiyah in WRC2

Still we have to wait the debut of Chardonnet & Citroën DS3 R5...

[PLuto]

Entry list is here - http://www.autosport.cz/clanek.php?cl=16147

[Tom206wrc]

To me the presence of Jan Cerny is rather a surprise ;)

[Mirek]

The entry list is awesome! One of the very best in many years.

[Simmi]

Really over the moon with the entry list. Especially since it'll be my first time at the rally.

[bluuford]

42 Fords in Entry list.. one more and we would have over 50% of the list by one factory. I think it is kind of new record?

[Barreis]

[Maui J.]

42 Fords in Entry list.. one more and we would have over 50% of the list by one factory. I think it is kind of new record?

This is a pretty amazing statistic when you think about it. M-Sport and Malcolm Wilson must be doing something right.
Also only one Subaru on the entry list... as Bob Dylan once said "The Times are a Changing"

[rallyfiend]

And people wonder why Ford don't come back as a full manufacturer.

Whatever money they are paying him (those logos on the cars aren't free....) seems to be doing the job nicely enough. Why pay more?

Perhaps M-Sport are their own worst enemy?

[Simmi]

Another spectator question. I've found all the info and videos of different zones online.

If you're in a spectator zone is there scope to walk down the stage or is it very strict? I suppose what I'm asking is will you essentially have the same view twice if you stay for both runs.

Secondly, how easy is it to transfer between stages? Any big queues/road closures etc?

It is a bit strict, I sugest moving to a different spectator zone between passes.

The traffic flows nicely within the acess roads, sometimes there might be some zones with large amounts of parked cars.

[STE-M]

How far are the car parks away from the stages???? are they pretty close or is it an early start to get parked up and get a good spot....

[Francis44]

The later you arrive, more you'll walk. Parking usually begins close to the stage.

[Simmi]

Any locals know how far into Ourique this jump is? Before they cross under the highway?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-NT7y7APe9A

Difficult to get to I assume?

[Kielder]

Any locals know how far into Ourique this jump is? Before they cross under the highway?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-NT7y7APe9A

Difficult to get to I assume?

It's placed exactly two kilometres before the stage crosses over the highway. You have to go to ZE08, then walking following the direction of the stage. There is one way to arrive a few meters before the stage, but I don't recommend it to you.

[Simmi]

Thanks Kielder. Looks like maybe a 30min walk - arriving very early to get around security?

[Kielder]

Thanks Kielder. Looks like maybe a 30min walk - arriving very early to get around security?

Approximately. It's not needed to arrive very early, though if you arrive late you'll have to walk more because you'll park your car more far from ZE08.
On the other hand, you have to take into account that the point where the video you post was recorded from is currently forbidden, so you have to stay on the other side of the road. Anyway, the view is similar.

[Mirek]

Test of Jan Černý: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsmnoRj9esk

[Simmi]

Thanks Kielder. We might try that out. I just wasn't sure whether you might get penned into ZE08 by security. We'll see what happens.

is there a pickem topic yet?

[Mintexmemory]

Pickems on line in the next day or so. The availability of the board - based Pickem again means I need to find out from Mark if the 3 rounds so far can be uploaded. But the great work done by makinen_fan and KiwiWRCfan shouldn't be wasted so I'm wondering if we keep the system they've set up for this season and use the official returned board for WRC2

As for each WRC event, you can discover the stages through RallyVista animation (3D maps in motion). For this Rally de Portugal you will even find a bonus.

[Oppositelock]

When entering the Rally Portugal sub menu I get this message:

"Klucz API Map Google używany w tej witrynie został zarejestrowany dla innej witryny. Projektant tej witryny może wygenerować nowy klucz na tej stronie."


What does it mean?

Thanks

[Mirek]

It's in Polish, something like:

"Key of API Google map used in this window remained registered for another window. Developer of that window can generate new key for the window."

I have no idea what does it mean. I'm no programmer....

[Criterium]

Thank you Mirek for the translation. Oppositelock, are you accessing Internet from Poland ? Are you using 3D or 2D (on smartphone) version ?
Personally I don't have this problem on my computer (we are based in France). An easy test for you is to reinstall "Google map API" and relaunch your browser.
We will look for the cause of this problem with my IT colleague, please notice us if there is a change in your situation.

[Francis44]

I know it's a tad bit early but does anyone have any ideia on how the weather's going to be? I've already looked at many weather sites but some say rain and some say sun.

It was this forum that saved me from a monumental cold in 2012, particularly Bluuford.

What's up, Oppositelock ?

This week end Fafe Rally Sprint will be a nostalgic appetizer. RallyVista brings you on this piece of history:

Put you safety belt and breathe deeply . Take a deep breath, because you are about to step on sacred territory . Once passed through, you will join the legends , the major gods of the steering wheel , immortalizing yourselves from word to word , from story to story . Do not, however, be intimidated by what awaits you. We are many, it's true, but on that day we expect only what you can give us . The more than 100 thousand people who await you just want to take with them a memory, be it an exaggerated jump, or a full flat out entry in the Confurco roadside. For every inch covered in the last 6 kilometers off Lameirinha stage, are quench the thirst that lasts, since 2001, and takes to go . Because Lameirinha is not just one more Rally stage, is much more than that. Because the rumbling of cars echoes from Pereira to Pedra Sentada Jump's 365 days a year . Because in these 6 km McRae , Burns , Toivonen are alive and well , there remain, and there will continue. So , beware , this is an opportunity to become immortal . The Fafe Rally Sprint 2014 may not tell the story of the books, the history and points records, but it is a door to immortality, for you, yourselves, to become legends of the most mythical, sacred, immortal 6 km of rallying!

Sry, I was on the fieldworks for half of the week.It looks like weather around Fafe will be little bit wet tomorror and very wet on Sunday.
The period before Rally Portugal should be very rainy.Thursday might be the turning point with less rain and if we are lucky, then the whole weekend will be mostly dry.

For every inch covered in the last 6 kilometers off Lameirinha stage, are quench the thirst that lasts, since 2001, and takes to go . Because Lameirinha is not just one more Rally stage, is much more than that. Because the rumbling of cars echoes from Pereira to Pedra Sentada Jump's 365 days a year . Because in these 6 km McRae , Burns , Toivonen are alive and well , there remain, and there will continue. So , beware , this is an opportunity to become immortal . The Fafe Rally Sprint 2014 may not tell the story of the books, the history and points records, but it is a door to immortality, for you, yourselves, to become legends of the most mythical, sacred, immortal 6 km of rallying! Flat Out Rally Fans 27-03-2014"

Every WRC champion ran there (today Ogier will be the last one of the list). Not many spots in the world can say that.

Sry, I was on the fieldworks for half of the week.It looks like weather around Fafe will be little bit wet tomorror and very wet on Sunday.
The period before Rally Portugal should be very rainy.Thursday might be the turning point with less rain and if we are lucky, then the whole weekend will be mostly dry.

Thanks Bluuford, let's hope we are in to a sunny and dusty rally.

Today, before heading to the stage of the Fafe Rally Sprint, as I did last year I spent an hour at the Service Park. It's more interesting to see the mechanics working there than in a Service of a rally because the place it is less crowded than a WRC event. The drivers are much more relaxed too, without pressure. All of them were there but Sordo. It was a pleasure to meet Meeke, a driver who I specially admire due to his speed and everything that has happened to him (I couldn't resist to tell him that I won't ever forget the Knockalla onboard). On the other hand, it's strange to see Citroen's team now, it looks like they're on holiday. At Hyundai everything is brand new, many people working on the car and the data. It's obvious they will stay here for a long time. Some pics:

[Francis44]

Thanks again Bluuford, it looks good for the proper rally, I was really not keen on having something similar to the 2012 edition.

[dimviii]

what an atmosphere at Fafe!!
big pitty that this country with so much love to rallying was without a wrc event for some years.

I think that if the rain stops tomorrow night, the stages should be (mostly) dry by friday, specially after the first cars go through.

Rain should mostly stop by tomorrow noon and there is a possibility that there will not be any raindrops during the whole rally, including shakedown and Lissbon stage.
Actually, currently shoud be the worst conditions until today evening. Once again very different conditions for recce and rally.. this time the opposite compared to 2012.

[bluuford]

Well, this describes todays weather prfectly:

At least, today it isn't the first day of the rally, as in 2012. Because of the heavy rain on the first day of that event, the organisation hasn't returned to the stages near to Tavira, in my opinion the best ones.

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Crazy weather... will the Shakedown be affected, or even the stages themselves ?

I suppose its all part of the challenge of the WRC, they have to deal with anything... :crazy:

All Hyundai well off the pace...

Sordo on hard tyres to preserve the soft ones Mirek.But i dont know if the others are on hard or soft ones.Probably soft.

All Hyundai well off the pace...

Sordo and Neuville did only one run.

Expect there will be some surprises in the WRC2 sd - seems that not many forum members are aware of Marty McCormack's speed (judging by the WRC2 Pickem list!)
Meanwhile, anyone who hasn't picked a VW 1-2 still has time to change their selection ;)

[Rallyper]

Where do we make Pickem for WRC2?

[dimviii]

so all top crews with soft tyres according to borl


The times were much slower today, however, due to the muddy conditions resulting from recent heavy rain. The Finn posted his best effort (3m5.2s) at second attempt, quite late on, with his Polo R WRC on soft-compound Michelin ‘S2’ tyres. Before him, Solberg (Ford) had led the field with a 3m6s on his fourth run. This year, only two passes are mandatory for the Priority 1 and 2 drivers, compared with four previously.
Also on soft tyres, Ogier posted a 3m7.1s on his second run, ahead of Sordo (Hyundai i20 WRC, 3m7.8s) who went 8.5 seconds better when he switched from hard to soft rubber.
Mikko Hirvonen (Ford) was fifth (3m8.3s), ahead of Hyundai’s Juha Hanninen (3m8.4s) and Thierry Neuville (3min08s5) who was the only driver to complete three passes on hard tyres. Mads Ostberg (Citroën) was ninth, behind Robert Kubica (Ford).
