~Cordoba WRC thread

[Erki]

I'd like to dedicate this thread to the rare WRC-cars like SEAT Cordoba, Hyundai Accent, Škoda Octavia, Ford Escort and such. I personally don't have any information on where to find them but I'm willing to read what other more knowledgeable people here know.

Accent WRCs aren't very rare over here :up:

[eloyf1]

Here there are many Cordoba's in Reqional Champs, like the Catalonian o Madrid's one... Some of them are used sometimes in National Gravel Champ, like the Alex Crivillé's Seat... Accent, there is another one in Cantabria, driven by Eugenio Mantecón...

Xavier Bouche (Belgium), Sandro Wallenwein (Germany) and Ger Haverkate (the Netherlands) drove a Škoda Octavia WRC in their national championship this year.

Mats Jonsson drove in Sweden and some other rounds in a Ford Escort WRC.

In England and Ireland are relative much Accent WRC's with Marcus Dodd, Stephen Simpson, Damian Cole, Peter Egerton... and Escort WRC's for Hugh Hunter, Dave Jenkins, Martin Healer...

Do you know to which team/preparator they belong?

[mashu]

Marcus Dodd,
Harry Dodd,
Peter Eggerton are all run by HPM Motorsport.
Steve Petch and Richard Gower's cars are owned and run by Steve Petch.

[pauldrew]

Damian Cole owns the car himself (as well as his '98 impreza WRC). It used to be run by the Middletons, but this year will be looked after by Steve Petch

Why's that Paul?

[Josti]

Their were two Escort WRC's competing in selected rounds of the Dutch championship in 2006. One of them was destroyed (if I'm correct?) in a huge accident last October. The codriver was badly injured.

[Andre Oliveira]

Can someone help me with these plates and/or chassis numbers?
