Not so big surprise :-) http://www.autosport.cz/clanek.php?cl=4305

[dumb]

cool. three crews from Lituhania.Vytautas Švedas with EVO IX, Benediktas Vanagas with Prodrive Impreza and Vilius Rožukas with A6 car.I think his car will be Suzuki Swift S1600.Last year was very bad to Rožukas and Švedas.Just two stages was finished...So this year i hope it will be not bad result... Good luck!!!

[[Madeira-Rally]]

For sure it will be an interesting rally!
There is many competitor that could fight for the victory...

We must add Solowow as one of the favorites.. he will be at his home rally with an EVO IX so.. ;)

There is other drivers on the list that don't have any pretensions in ERC or Polish Champ. but they can fight for a top place....I'm talking about Svedlund and Holowczyc!

Svedlund will be very fast. And Holowczyc too :)

[Jarek Z]

And how about Bryan Bouffier?

[imprezarb5]

Hello!

It certainly looks like a great field. Don't forget about Travaglia in the Evo. He'll be competative as well.

But where is Anton Alen in the Fiat Punto S2000? I heard that he is supposed to enter as well. I understand that the entry list is still open. Correct? Is it possible that he'll enter?

Best!
Simon

No, it isn't possible to add any new entry, entry list is closed. And as I know, Abarth drivers (also Alén) starts only in IRC event.

[[Madeira-Rally]]

And how about Bryan Bouffier?

I don't believe Bouffier can be very fast in Poland... it's only my own opinion but... we will see ;)

[Tom206wrc]

What a surprise Bryan Bouffier in the 207 S2000 in Poland!!! Amazing !! :eek:

[HaCo]

I would keep an eye on Svedlund! He is a fast man on gravel, that is for sure!! :D

[Tom206wrc]

]I don't believe Bouffier can be very fast in Poland... it's only my own opinion but... we will see ;)


Remember Rajd Polski 2005(I think)when Bouffier was taking part to the rally in a 206 S1600 from Peugeot Polski already, he wasn't ridiculous at all !! :D

And he takes part to the developpment of the 207 too, so one can't really says he doesn't know the car well :p :

[Tom206wrc]

Any pictures of Peugeot-Sport Polska's 207 S2000 livery ??? :confused:

Do you know if and when Bouffier will test the car before the rally starts ??? :confused:

[Jarek Z]

Nobody knows anything Tom. It came as a total surprise here as well.

In the meantime Tomasz Czopik said that in the Rally of Poland he will drive the old Polo. The one he had in Croatia, that is lighter and has better engine, he can't use because the engine needs revision and Rene Georges team said that they can't prepare it in time for Rally of Poland.

[HaCo]

I bet they want to spare it for Ypres for Freddy, which for me is logic... :)

The older Polo has won rallys too, so no worries ;)

[Jarek Z]

Simon Jean-Joseph will drive Citroen C2 R2 and not Super 1600 in Poland. It will be interesting to see if he can take this small car into the top 10, like Kris Meeke did last year.

[PLuto]

Simon Jean-Joseph will drive Citroen C2 R2 and not Super 1600 in Poland. It will be interesting to see if he can take this small car into the top 10, like Kris Meeke did last year.

Simon knows, that with S1600 he hasnt any chances against 4WD cars on gravel. So he starts with R2, which is much cheaper...

[Tom206wrc]

No pics of Bouffier's 207 yet ??? :mark:

[PJRevs]

Any information about Iliev? Why he dont enter Rajd Polski?
Maybe some problems whit homologation of his Evo IX, like some drivers in Croatia?

[CricketsFilm]

I have spoken with Iliev to Zagreb, He will not present to poland and Ypres...

[PLuto]

He will miss in Poland due to gravel (with regards to his plan before season).

[Jarek Z]

Do you know if and when Bouffier will test the car before the rally starts ??? :confused:

Bryan Bouffier is already in Poland and according to one of the Polish rally forums he had a test session yesterday. He was driving the 207 S2000 near Mikolajki, the headquarters of the rally.

Also other divers are having their test sessions on the gravel roads of Mazury lake district. Holowczyc (Subaru from Bernard Munster), Solowow (Mitsubishi) and Lubiak (Punto S2000) are testing intensively.

Here you can see some photos taken durig the shared test of Kajetanowicz, Pasecki and Typa:

[Tom206wrc]

Thanks Jarek... ;)

Pitty no pics of Bouffier yet though :(

[Madeira]

Renato Travaglia will use the Evo IX prepared by Rally Project instead of Mitsubishi from Top Run. Last week-end Top Run was in Rally of Greece with Mark Higgins and doesn't have a car for the Italian driver in Poland. For the polish rally the co-driver will be Simone Scattolin.

[imprezarb5]

Does anybody know why Michal Solowow is entering Rajd Polski in his Evo IX? At the beginning of the season all of the Polish websites were stating that he has a factory supported ride with FIAT. Why would Fiat not want the exposure?

Thanks,
Szymon

In the rally of Turkey, which is also gravel, he also used his Evo. I think (pure speculation) that he uses this car on gravel to save his S2000. I have no problem with this, because he needs his FIAT for the Belgian Ypres Westhoek Rally... ;)

In the beginning of season he told, that in his plans are both gravel rallies with Lancer.

[Jarek Z]

Manu Guigou (#53 on the entry list), who will drive Renault Clio R3, said that the rally is much longer and more difficult than the rallies in French gravel championship, but he is very happy to be in Poland. He will be co-driven by former Bouffier's co-driver, Xavier Panseri. Guigou said that Renault has plans to enter more ERC and IRC rounds to promote Clio R3.

[Jarek Z]

Krum Donchev will miss Rally Poland due to death in his family :(

[[Madeira-Rally]]

I didn't noticed that Guigou will enter on Poland!

He is always nice to see in the stages.. no matter the car :)

[Tom206wrc]

Krum Donchev will miss Rally Poland due to death in his family :(

Condolences to him, family and friends ;(

[PJRevs]

Krum Donchev will miss Rally Poland due to death in his family :(

Not family. In first round of Bulgarian Rally Championship, on SS9 Kozlekov hit young boy picturing rally to close to road. That was the son of the Donchev manager. Very sad news.

[Raven]

I heard that this boy was Donchev's godson.

[Tom206wrc]

Is shakedown of rally today, and if yes where can I find pics ??? :confused:

[PLuto]

I think tomorrow morning.

[Jarek Z]

Bryan Bouffier said that this is the fastest rally he has ever seen, but he wants to win it :up:

I don't know where you will find live results, but I think when you check the following websites:
http://www.rajdpolski.pl
http://www.autoklub.pl
http://www.rallyonline.pl
http://www.subaru.pl
you will find what you are looking for :)

[Tom206wrc]

The Subaru Polska site is the best one to follow live-results !! :up:

:p :

[Jarek Z]

Is shakedown of rally today, and if yes where can I find pics ??? :confused:

The shakedown will be carried out on Friday, 8 June 2007, 9.00 - 13.00 h. Each crew will be allowed to drive it maximum 4 times.

[Tom206wrc]

Thanks Jarek ;)

[HaCo]

[Tom206wrc]

On Rallyonline.Pl they also have pics of shakedown, but unfortuneately no pics of Bouffier taking part to it :mark:

[Raven]

There was an accident on the shakedown. Lancer of Jakub Wysocki hit spectators on the exit of left corner. One was transported to the hospital with only small injuries, second one died in the ambulance, probably because of the heart attack (he said to the doctors the he head heart attack two times in the past).

Tragic beginning of the biggest motorsport event in Poland...

[[Madeira-Rally]]

Very sad news Raven :(
That's not a good start for the rally :(

[Tom206wrc]

Oh nooo!!!! ;(

[Jarek Z]

And now, especially for Tom, a picture of famous Polish driver, Bryan Bouffier :D

http://www.rallyonline.pl/ft.php?idg=2300&pg_[go]=0

[Tom206wrc]

Thanks Jarek ;)

[Jarek Z]

The following drivers will miss the rally:
Krum Donchev (nr 6), Władimir Petrenko (25), Zsolt Kakuszi (42), Daniel Fischer (52), Dariusz Kuc (56), Tomasz Dąbrowski (73), Paweł Piasecki (81) i Marcin Łepik (82).

[Tom206wrc]

Apparently Tomasz Czopik was also the fastest on shakedown... :p :

[Jarek Z]

Yes, but Krzysztof Holowczyc and Leszek Kuzaj didn't appear on the shakedown.

Results:
http://www.rallyonline.pl/index.php?1&modex=pnews&&s=11024

[[Madeira-Rally]]

But.. Shakedown isn't mandatory :s :confused:

And Bouffier?

[Tom206wrc]

And Isik or SJJ also ?? :confused:

[HaCo]

Sad of the hitted spectators... :(


Csopik fastest indeed, hope he has some luck this time!!

[Madeira]

And Isik or SJJ also ?? :confused:

Is normal that Simon did not appears in top ten because he will drive a Citroën R2...

[HaCo]

At 18:00 there is the super special stage!! :)

[[Madeira-Rally]]

Dikto won the 1st stage :)

The real rally is only tomorrow ;)

[HaCo]

Yeah... Czopik first S2000, Svedlund 8th time, not bad either. Think we will see a great battle tomorrow!! :-)

9h39, with a nice 28.65km!!! What great long stages in Poland!

[Tom206wrc]

Yep, a 28km long stage is awaiting drivers as SS2... :mark:

[Tom206wrc]

They seem to write stage has been interrupted following an off road of one of the drivers(Trembicki ??)... :confused:

[GigiGalliNo1]

wat happened with a death?!!? =O!!

sorry just getting in to rajd polski!

...

[GigiGalliNo1]

not good to hear :(

[[Madeira-Rally]]

SS 2 is running!

[[Madeira-Rally]]

SS 2 stopped :s

Kuzaj had an off, the crew is ok.. but the stage was interrupted.

But we can see that Travi was flying in this stage.. he was 45.4 sec. faster than Isik!!

[HaCo]

Oh no, Kuzaj allread gone :( (@Madeira: where do u find that info?)


SS2 stage stopped - Ambulance on stage!

[HaCo]

Isik +45 on Travaglia!!!

[[Madeira-Rally]]

Oh no, Kuzaj allread gone :( (@Madeira: where do u find that info?)


SS2 stage stopped - Ambulance on stage!

http://www.subaru.pl

An amazing live results site ;)

The best I ever seen!

[HaCo]

Ok, the stage is canceled now.

Indeed Madeira, this is an example for everyone. Keep it simple, clear and informing.

[Tom206wrc]

When does SS3 start now ??? :confused:

[[Madeira-Rally]]

The start of SS3 was delayed about 10 min.

The stage is running ;)

[Tom206wrc]

OK...SS3 is running ;)

[[Madeira-Rally]]

And Travaglia was 29.2 sec. faster than Isik, let's see who can beat Travaglia....

I think Travaglia won't set the fastest time on this stage ;)

[[Madeira-Rally]]

Like I said in previous post :)

Svedlund was 17.3 sec. faster than Travaglia!

EDIT: and... Holek 0.3 sec faster than Svedlund

[Madeira]

In SS2 they have given a notional time for all drivers!

[Tom206wrc]

Third best time overall in SS3 for Bouffier ;)

Good time from Oscar Svedlund !! :up:



EDIT: Czopik 3rd best time now !!!

[Madeira]

what's happen with Isik? He is doing a very disappointing results!

[PLuto]

what's happen with Isik? He is doing a very disappointing results!

Dont remember, that this is gravel event and Isik is starting first...

[Tom206wrc]

Bouffier 3rd overall after SS4 and leading S2000s :D

[Madeira]

Dont remember, that this is gravel event and Isik is starting first...
Ok it is true but in SS4 Simon was fastest than Isik and it looks that the french driver has arrived with hazard lights on....

Second special stage has been interrupted and finally neutralized after accident of car no. 3 Leszek Kuzaj / Jaroslaw Baran. The crew crashed 1.2 kilometers from the start of SS2.

On a fast section Kuzaj hit a tree and then rolled his car. The driver has been taken to a hospital for an examination.

Special stage 3 will be delayed by 20 minutes. Stewards decided to impose a time of 17.02.7 to all cars.


Leszek Kuzaj is now in Hospital hi is ok !! Car got big damage co-driver (Jarek Bran) is fine !

Solowow lost 5th gear now in serwis park Cersanit Team change all gerbox.

Great rally for now. Great to Svedlund in front, he really is fast, sawhim 2x in Ypres. Also Czopik great too!!! :D :D

[Madeira]

Thank's zales by your reports!!

[zales]

Leszek Kuzaj left Hospital.

[Tom206wrc]

Interesting !!! Travaglia lost 17s to Isik on SS5 !! :mark:


EDIT: no it was a mistake from the results site, Travi had again a best time 42s faster than Isik :p :

[Tom206wrc]

Bouffier puncture in SS5 !!! NOOOOOOO !!!!! :mad: :mad: :mad:

[[Madeira-Rally]]

Unfortunately Holek had 1min. penalty :( due to a delay in the start of SS4

[Madeira]

to the ERC standings Renato Travaglia is leading before Tomasz Czopik and Michal Solowow.

[Filip]

I think It will be a great battle between Svedlund and Holowczyc, and let's see how fast will Bouffier be. :D

Anyone knows what happened to Kajetanowicz?

[Madeira]

In SS6 Isik has improved 30 seconds than first round and Renato Travaglia 22 seconds approximately

[Tom206wrc]

What happened to Czopik in SS6 ??? :confused:

[Madeira]

Czopik game over. Off road!

[[Madeira-Rally]]

Czopik game over. Off road!

Czopik had gear box problems.. he finished the stage.. he lost 16 min. :(

Definitely Czopik isn't lucky with VW S2000

[Madeira]

]Czopik had gear box problems.. he finished the stage.. he lost 16 min. :(

Yes you are right Paulo, they have changed the information on the web!

[Filip]

Holowczyc fastest again on ss7, very good, Bouffier also fast.

[HaCo]

Damn, it's a pitty for Copik. Svedlund is showing great pace, also Holowich, stupid 1 min penalty.

[Tom206wrc]

Does someone know why Bryan Bouffier got a 30s penalty ??? :confused:

[Madeira]

Does someone know why Bryan Bouffier got a 30s penalty ??? :confused:

Where did you see the penalty? :confused:

[CricketsFilm]

I not went to Poland, but the next year… I hope to go to the race....

for now .... our appointment to Ypres.... and than to Bulgaria....

[PLuto]

]Unfortunately Holek had 1min. penalty :( due to a delay in the start of SS4

Penalty cancelled !

[PLuto]

]Czopik had gear box problems.. he finished the stage.. he lost 16 min. :(

Definitely Czopik isn't lucky with VW S2000

But it was Czopik's mistake. He went off the road and when he was trying get back to road, he damaged gearbox...

[Tom206wrc]

Where did you see the penalty? :confused:



Look at the results of leg 1 now !! Bouffier is 12th overall with a 30 penalty :mark:

Perhaps it has to do with his puncture in SS5 :confused:
They talk about an article 8.1.1 as cause of Bryans's penalty but I don't know this article :mark:


But I don't understand why Bouffier is 8th on the road on leg 2 starting order this morning...

[Tom206wrc]

Penalty cancelled !



Perhaps organizers of rally don't want a non-polish driver to win the event...?? :laugh:

[HaCo]

Tom206WRC: about the staring order. I know in Ypres last year they started in the order of the FIA A, or FIA B pilot and then the rest. That was also on day 2. Maybe that explains the start order in Poland?
My father said that FIA nominated drivers have the right to start in front, also in day 2.

[Tom206wrc]

Why are they so late for SS9 ???? :rolleyes:

[HaCo]

"Ambulance on stage..."

[HaCo]

It will be a nice battle for first. Svedlund just took 1.8secs. :)

[Tom206wrc]

"Ambulance on stage..."




Again ???? :s

Who went off the road ?? :mark:

[PJRevs]

What happened with Hołowczyc penality? He is first now?

[Tom206wrc]

What happened with Hołowczyc penality? He is first now?



Polish organizers/stewards are scared about the possibility a foreign driver wins their prestigious event :p :

[janez l.]

Just went through Forbes 500 Billionar list. Under the number 407 we find Michal Solowow, worth approximately 2,3 billion dollars. Phh......

And I was wondering how come he can do 20 races per year + an occasional WRC outing... :)

[HaCo]

LOL janez, that explains a lot. :)

@Tom: your countryman Gigou went off, but crew = ok :)

Next stage finnaly got started! approx 30 mins late.

[HaCo]

Tom: first best time for 207!! :D

J-J off... :(

[[Madeira-Rally]]

Simon Jean Joseph is out of the rally.. he had an off in SS 11... Crew is ok

[Tom206wrc]

Tom: first best time for 207!! :D

J-J off... :(


FANTASTIC time for Bouffier on SS11 indeed !!! :bounce: :bounce:

[[Madeira-Rally]]

Holek won 10.9 sec. over Svedlund in SS 12...

The battle for the first place is over :)

congratulations to Holek!

[HaCo]

FANTASTIC time for Bouffier on SS11 indeed !!! :bounce: :bounce:

That while the battle in front is still high. Hope he can do in again in the next two stages...

[Tom206wrc]

Best time again for Bouffier in SS12 :p :

Only 15s separate him from 5th overall position and the big 36km long stage remains before end of rally :bounce:


GO BRYAN GO MATTHIEU !!! :up:

[HaCo]

:D :D :D

It's a bit late, but finally the 207 is going well... :)

[Madeira]

Renato Travaglia said in his website that Rally of Poland is very, very fast. Yesterday he drove above 200 Km/h in some stages....

[Tom206wrc]

:eek: Puncture for rally leader(Holowczyc) in last stage(SS13) :eek: :s



1m08 lost for Krszystof !!! Oscar Svedlund is Rajd Polski winner !!!! :up:

[[Madeira-Rally]]

Not a lucky day for Holek :(

He had a puncture in the last stage... and lost a lot of time for Svedlund...

Svedlund is the winner!

[HaCo]

]Holek won 10.9 sec. over Svedlund in SS 12...

The battle for the first place is over :)

congratulations to Holek!

Hehe, NOT!! ;)

Great for Svedlund! Pittu for Holowich...

[Tom206wrc]

Puncture for Solowow too !!!! :eek:

What a disaster for tyres this stage :s

[Tom206wrc]

Next one is Bouffier...

[Tom206wrc]

BEST FINAL TIME FOR BOUFFIER !!!! :bounce: :bounce:

He takes final 5th position !! He did it !!! :up:

[[Madeira-Rally]]

Next one is Bouffier...

Great pace for Bouffier today ;)

he won the stage again!

[CricketsFilm]

Travaglia .... +16 in ERC Standing..... is it correct?

[Madeira]

Travaglia .... +16 in ERC Standing..... is it correct?
Yes you are right!!

Two winners, Svedlund and Renato Travaglia
Svedlund deserves this victory. He has an high potential.

In the next tarmac rallys, specially in Ypres and Madeira, the ERC drivers must show another pace. In Poland Isik and Solowow were very cautious and it was easy to score points. Don't forget that in Ypres, Madeira and Barum this drivers will fight against some IRC drivers like Ojeda, Vouilloz, Navarra, who made the Championship registration!!
http://www.fia.com/resources/documents/268396847__Euro_Rally_Champ_Entry_2007.pdf

[CricketsFilm]

.... I hope Corrado Fontana has Best Race on Belgium..... and more lucky....

[Madeira]

.... I hope Corrado Fontana has Best Race on Belgium..... and more lucky....

I guess that will not be easy for him. In Belgium He must fight against great drivers with factory cars. In my opinion, I think he did a mistake when he has decided not to go to Poland. I know that he is not a gravel specialist, but I think that he had a good chance to score some points in Poland!

[CricketsFilm]

it is true

My father said that FIA nominated drivers have the right to start in front, also in day 2.

Everything about starting order (also for second leg) is about stewards of the meeting and director of the race. They can make changes with anybody, if they want. Some stewards are prefering drivers with FIA priority, but for example I saw one steward, who wants in one rally all FIA B drivers starting on the top in second leg and on other rally he told, he has never done it and it is stupid rule...

[PLuto]

So, if I am true, points for Rajd Polski:

Final
Travaglia 10
Solowow 8
Isik 6
Tlustak 5
Czopik 4

Day1
Travaglia 3
Solowow 2
Isik 1

Day2
Travaglia 3
Solowow 2
Czopik 1

So overall standings is: http://www.autosport.cz/souteze/bodovani.php?id=15

The quality on video google is poor, but I hope you will enjoy it!

Very cool video, thanks mate!

[Madeira]

Yeah, as always nice job!!
Thank you!!!

After this video I understand the reason of so many crashs in this rally!

Tom206WRC: this is why Bouffier got punnished:

Later in the evening, he was one of three drivers given an extra 30 seconds penalty for missing a chicane. Bryan Bouffier was given the same penalty, which dropped the Frenchman from eighth to eleventh.

Anyone knows what happened to Kajetanowicz?

You won't believe it, but Kajetanowicz destroyed suspension in his Mitsubishi during a free passage of SS2 after Kuzaj's crash :)
That is of course ridiculous, but... did you see his stage times on the second leg? They were shocking!

Me and my wife visited first time rally in Poland, spectating stages 1 - 3 - 7 and 9. And drove thru stage 8/11 previous night.

Some very nice sections, some too long boring sections. Lot of dust. We enjoyed most the jump (almost Finnish style) on SS3.

Lot of spectators but unfortunately little conversations with them as we can not speak Polish. Still I wonder nobody gave any 'pre rally advice' to us on this forum, though average Polish spectators do not understand English.

But all in all, nice visit, nice rally. And some great fotoes here.

I'm glad you enjoyed the rally, ettelbruck :up:
We saw stages 3, 5 and 7 on day one and then 10 and 12 on day two. Unfortunately this year our rally had the "WRC" format, which means that if you didn't hurry and didn't break the traffic rules on the road sections, you would see only 4 or maximum 5 stages in two days! You drive 600 km and see only 5 places - that's disgusting!
In 2005, when Rally of Poland wasn't a WRC candidate, we easily saw 7 or 8 stages.
As far as English knowledge is concerned, I think it's still better than in Italy or France, but definitely not as good as in Finland!

average Polish spectators do not understand English.
It's nice to be above average... ;)

It's nice to be above average... ;)

Did not mean to insult anybody but that's what we learned. Though we don't understand any Polish...

And your hometown Wroclaw, we liked it, too.
