The Rally Islas Canarias (Gran Canaria) opens registration period.



The teams will have until April 17 to formalize their registration for this event of the FIA ​​European Rally Championship, the Spanish Super Rally Championship and the Spanish Rally Championship of Asphalt. The organizer has already published all the details of his tour.

The 43rd edition of the Canary Islands Rally is definitely underway with the opening this Monday, February 18 of the registration period. In this way, the teams of the different contests that meet in this test, may already process their registration, although the term will last until April 17. In 2019, the race repeats in the calendar of the FIA ​​European Rally Championship (FIA ERC), the Spanish Rally Championship of Asphalt (CERA) and the new Supercampeonato de España de Rallies (S-CER), in addition to maintaining its score for the Canary Islands Championship of Asphalt Rallies and for the Provincial Championship of Las Palmas de Rallies.

The Organizing Committee has also published in its final round in which, as it was advanced weeks ago, the teams are challenged with a total of 16 special stages, eight in the first stage on Friday, May 3 and another eight in the second on Saturday, May 4th. As major developments must be put in value that the municipality of Valsequillo is the new headquarters of the Qualifying Stage and the Shakedown and the addition of Valleseco in a second day especially demanding in terms of number of specials compared to the average of the rest of editions.

Some driver or drivers are using Printsport (Finland) machinery.

They are looking for truckdriver to deliver MB Atego + Trailer to Canary.

They have Polo R5, Fabia R5, Evo X and 208 R2, so it could be what so ever...

Could be Finnish or foreign driver.

Do you mean that is going to be a lot of drivers from Finland in Gran Canaria?

NO.

The Rally Islas Canarias is next

Do you think that there may be new additions to the ERC from Gran Canaria?

Maybe Eyvind Brynildsen.

Any more pilot?

[Mirek]

Erik Cais will skip Canarias due to his school leaving exams.

[Fast Eddie WRC]

I really hope his 3rd place o/a and 1st in Junior U28 on the Azores will help Ingram find a sponsor to get him to Canarias.

Alexey Arnautov to drive the C3R5 in @RIslasCanarias with @AlexeyLukyanuk as co-driver after he broke his arm on a skateboard 😬
"This is the opportunity of a life-time", Arnautov explains. I'm confident I can be as quick as him...but he will have to work hard on the pace-notes."

Another Polo R5 joins the 'Islas Canarias'

Teo Martín Motorsport has announced the acquisition of a new Volkswagen Polo R5. It will be the first to arrive in our country, where it plans to land next April 12.

Although they have not yet revealed the team that is going to climb the Volkswagen Polo R5, they have announced their program. Will be in the new Supercampeonato de España, starting in the second of his appointments, the Rally Islas Canarias. In this way, the island of Gran Canaria ensures the presence of one of the vehicles that is giving more to speak in the category.

The squad that directs Teo Martín has indicated that they will play some other test outside the S-Cer "with the aim of improving the tuning and adaptation of the car to the Spanish sections."

"The rallies have always been one of my passions and I am proud to have a team competing in the Spanish Super Rally Championship with Volkswagen, the objective is to fight for the title with the Polo R5, a great car with which we are sure to celebrate many successes, "said the owner of the team, Teo Martín.

We can expect another driver from Printsport?

Reading the latest update on FIA's list of homologated cars I interpret that Polo S2000's international homologation expired 1.1.2019.

The pilot of Gran Canaria will be in the emblematic event with a vehicle of the Orsak Rally Sport team.

Looks like it will be the only Fiesta R5 running in Gran Canaria...

[Hartusvuori]

Finnish driver Miika Hokkanen will start his ERC3 season in Gran Canaria. He'll start with a new co-driver Rami Suorsa. They will drive Spanish Mavisa Sport's Peugeot 208 R2. I don't know what other events they'll do, but the plan is to do more.

[106 sport]

Any news about Eyvind Brynildsen?

[106 sport]

Albert von Thurn und Taxis - Skoda Fabia R5

[106 sport]

Rumours in Gran Canaria about entry list. Looks like there are more than 100 registered and about 35 R5.


Entries deadline will be tomorrow day 17.


I really expect about 26-30 R5.


For me 35 R5, perhaps it is a optimist number.

[CWJ]

Albert von Thurn und Taxis - Skoda Fabia R5

Sure about the Skoda? Was expecting him in a Polo.

[pucky54]

Yes, confirmed. Too many technical difficulties with the Polos

[Mirek]

BRR has both so maybe after the rather bitter experience from Azores they decided for the safe option until the issues are solved.

[Alpine-110]

Will we see R4 cars in Canary Islands?

[tc10a]

Probably more a question of availability than technical conspiracy theories. If BRR has 3 Polo R5 and one car is overseas for Kajetanowicz for WRC Argentina and WRC Chile only two Polos are left for Herczig and probably Griebel.

[Sulland]

I am guessing that the R4s will not start until the series are done with the island rounds.

So Griebel back to Fabia? At ewrc-results he is listed with Polo?

[PLuto]

Fabia is correct, ewrc is wrong

[Fast Eddie WRC]

I see it states Griebel as the entrant not BRR. All the others show their teams name. Has he had to enter privately with the Škoda.. and why the switch ?

[PLuto]

It was same on Azores. He is registered to the championship under his name. There is nothing special about it.

[Fast Eddie WRC]

I bet BRR arent happy with VW, having to go back to running their old Skoda's for reliability.

It's lucky they still have them and hadnt sold them on when the new Polo's arrived.

Plus sales of new Polo's wont be done any good with these issues. I hope it'll be M-Sport's gain ! ;)

Is ERC2 for N, new FIA R4 and GT
or still only for N (mitsu and subaru) ?

[tommeke_B]

R4 as a car with the kit of Oreca? Or R4 like the old Evo X R4 for example?

[PLuto]

R4 car with kit from Oreca, "older R4" from Mitsubishi and Subaru are forbidden in international rallysport

[dimviii]

Although the season for the Russian driver has not started in the best way, the charismatic Alexey Lukyanuk hopes to reverse the situation in the Spanish round that is part of the European calendar and where he himself treasures the victory in the last two editions. Its debut in competition with the Citroën C3 R5 ended in the Azores in an accident, after a rollover that has totally destroyed the chassis number 27 of this mount.

With the intention of continuing to fight to try to revalidate the European title, the French team will make available to you a brand new chassis of this model and that corresponds with the numbering 36. It should be remembered that the unit injured in the Azores was also totally new and due the accident suffered will not be able to continue competing in the remaining rallies of the calendar.

As it could not be otherwise, Lukyanuk has been enormously grateful to the Saintéloc Racing team, not only for putting a new car in their hands, but also for all the work done in recent weeks that has allowed them to finish this new unit in time before boarding it for the Canary Islands. Now, the responsibility balances on the side of Alexey Lukyanuk, who must respond with a good result.

I do wonder whether he's now relying on family funding. His dad was wealthy back when he was running the WRC car but I believe his property development business suffered some hard times and the family were left relatively hard up. He may well be back in business now though and able to provide some support?

[RS]

Re: Ingram, I wonder whether there is some silent support from Eurosport after their dispute last year? It’s in their interest to have someone like Chris in the championship and I can’t imagine he would be all that keen to drive in ERC if they hadn’t come to some arrangement.

His dad helped him build a cheap car to start with and then he showed his speed and got picked up by Peugeot UK.

His dad's business went down and he has only had prizemoney and sponsorship to fund him for years now.

Early days but the un-fancied C3 R5s already a sizeable way in front.

It’s always been pretty good on smooth tarmac to be fair.

Jan Talaš was excluded. His car was too light (or the car weight was not properly adjusted to his new very light co-driver).

ERC uploaded yesterday’s live streams to YouTube. I guess they are streaming video from stop line and heli via 4G mobile signal as the quality is pretty bad..

Great win from Lopez/Rozada and huge congrats to Sports&You, the Portuguese team runing Citroen Spain programme. Lopez was the only one able to match Lukyanuk pace and press the Russian to a mistake, like in the (sad) old days.

Nice battle in ERC3 with a balanced field of different cars; the Fiesta almost won and seems to have a huge potencial. Even if there’s still a poor entry, adding RGT to N4 in ERC2 was a positive move to the series. Bring on Liepaja!

Front-wheel-drive category was totally dominated by the Frenchmen. It's a 1-2-3 for France in ERC3:

But we shouldn't be surprised:

I saw it yesterday.

Good summary and good pictures of the landscape of Gran Canaria from the helicopter.
