[ERC] 2007 Rally Vinho Madeira

[[Madeira-Rally]]

Rally Vinho Madeira was always one of the most important rallys in ERC in previous Years, the competition here is always very important for ERC drivers, because the race is difficult for foreigners drivers.. so.. to win in Madeira, it mus be a good rally driver, and, a victory here, means some "status" in European rallys.

This year there is no big changes in the route, it's almost the same of previous years, only a little details change, but nothing very significant.

For sure this rally will have a nice entry list, people here are expecting a really nice entry list with 20 S2000 cars and some other GR N cars.

There are a few nice drivers that are confirmed, I will post the most important drivers... because the local drivers have good cars (S1600 and Top Gr N cars) but they aren't good enough to fight for a top position.
I will post the ones I think that could do something good on this event.

Bernd Casier - Peugeot 207 S2000
Marco Vagioli - Peugeot 207 S2000
Nicolas Vouilloz - Peugeot 207 S2000
E. G. Ojeda - Peugeot 207 S2000
Andrea Navarra - Fiat Punto S2000

Corrado Fontana - Fiat Punto S2000
Pieter Tsjoen - Fiat Punto S2000
Michael Solowow - Fiat Punto S2000
Dani Solá - Honda Civic R3
Luca Betti - Honda Civic R3
Renato Travaglia - Lancer EVO IX

Portuguese Drivers

José Pedro Fontes - Fiat Punto S2000

Local Drivers
Vitor Sá - Fiat Punto S2000
Alexandre Camacho - Peugeot 206 S1600

Yes this year I hope to see a great rally, with so many S2000 cars, S1600 and of course Top N4 cars. I have no ideia who can be the winner...

Paulo, I Think you can add in this list Tomek Czopik, VW Polo S2000.

[HaCo]

Very nice... :D :D

Bruno Magalhaes !!! :p :

I watched a video of him testing the 207 on tarmac, he's crazy FAST :eek:

[Madeira]

Bruno Magalhaes !!! :p :

Yes, Tom, Bruno could be one of the surprises of the rally. I think he will win the portuguese title without major problems, so maybe in Madeira he will not have a big pressure to get a good score for the championship. Peugeot Portugal will prepare this rally to the limit of perfection, Defeat Peugeot Spain, Peugeot Belgium and Fiat could be the great moment of glory of portuguese team!!. Let's wait to see if Bruno can keep the car on the road under a big pressure...

[CricketsFilm]

We will be present to Madeira .....
for me first rally to Madeira!

[Jarek Z]

We will be present to Madeira .....

You are lucky then! It's a beautiful event :up:

Can you tell us what is Corrado Fontana's rally program for the rest of the season? First Ypres, then Madeira and then what?

Barum..... and then he will decide.....
I hope also Elpa and Antibes ;-)

[Jarek Z]

Thanks for the info. You should have come to Poland, easy points were waiting. Corrado doesn't like gravel?

Poland not in season program of Corrado... I hope for next year...

[Madeira]

About the drivers: The main newspaper of the island says today that Peugeot Sweden with Jimmy Joge is showing interest to be present in this edition.
The organization is trying all to bring Giandomenico Basso and join with Andrea Navarra and Umberto Scandola.

[Sergio-Rallymax]

I wait finally to be able to go... A sorrow that the trip from Canaries is so expensive, but I will try it.
It seems that it will be a great rallye.

[Tom206wrc]

Jimmy Joge running the Rali Vinho da Madeira too ??? :eek:

[Madeira]

No, if you live in Canarias I think the trip is not so expensive how you are thinking. Well, in that time you have a ferry from Las Palmas and you can bring also your car.
Every week the ferry arrives on sunday. You can stay here during a week and of this way you can see the rally.

Take a look in this website:

[Jarek Z]

Madeira, do you also have some golden solution for people from Poland? ;)

[Madeira]

Madeira, do you also have some golden solution for people from Poland? ;)

Well, for Polish friends my advice is to talk with Michal Solowow, maybe he can promove a trip with a big lot of fans and rent a plane.... :p

Probably is the best ever gallery from Rally Vinho Madeira ;)
You can see some great places to see the rally and the atmosphere that we have in Madeira.

Hello Madeira-Rally, where might it find a cheap hotel-apartament-hostel in Madeira?

Obrigado!.

Hello Madeira-Rally, where might it find a cheap hotel-apartament-hostel in Madeira?

Obrigado!.

Hi,

It depends what is cheap for you... :)

But, I can tell you that you can find some quality hotels around 40 / 45 € per day.

If you need some specific help, please send me a PM ;)

I wouldn't be so sure about Czopik and Polo S2000. It looks that people from Rene Georges sometimes are guessing what to repair in the car... and sometimes during repair they are damaging other parts. For example on Rally Poland they didn't put sparkplugs properly... Czopik is really mad at them :(

[[Madeira-Rally]]

For Belgium rally fans :)

It's confirmed... Loix with a Punto in Madeira ;)

http://www.pitstoptv.info/pitstop/?p=2053

[Tom206wrc]

What about Czopik ??? :confused:

Does he continue with the René George's Polo ???

[HaCo]

2x :D :D :D

1x for Duez in the Porsche!!!
1x for Loix!!!

[HaCo]

What about Czopik ??? :confused:

Does he continue with the René George's Polo ???

I was really disapointed in Czopik in Ypres... he is not fast at all.

[[Madeira-Rally]]

I will post some historic pictures from RVM :)

Everyday I will try to add pictures

LOL, u must have something with Belgium.

The bottom picture, it is Kris Princen. It is a FAAAAST driver. If Renault makes an S2000, he will win Ypres again!!!

I've read rumour days ago on RalisMadeira website Sousa would have tried to run in a 207 S2000 but apparently that won't be the case :mark: :(

[Madeira]

I've read rumour days ago on RalisMadeira website Sousa would have tried to run in a 207 S2000 but apparently that won't be the case :mark: :(

Is like you say, a simple rumour and nothing more, but next season it's really possible that he would change his car. He has a good financial background...

[[Madeira-Rally]]

I've read rumour days ago on RalisMadeira website Sousa would have tried to run in a 207 S2000 but apparently that won't be the case :mark: :(

According to the last informations I have... Bernardo will drive a brand new EVO IX (maybe from Ralliart Italy) in Rally Vinho Madeira and the rest of the season of local championship.

He had a huge crash last weekend.. his EVO has a lot of damaged...

According to the local TV, Gilles Panizzi could be present in the next Rally Vinho Madeira driving the Peugeot 207 S2000 as Hervé Panizzi as co-driver.
Does any french member knows something about this?... maybe our friend...animrallye ;)

He was already un-officially announced in Turkey and in Ypres, so... :rolleyes:

[teufel]

Hervé has retired after last year's Madeira, or am i missed something?

[[Madeira-Rally]]

I have the same idea as you Teufeul...

As I know, RVM 2006 was the last event of Panizzi Brothers...

It looks like organization is doing some efforts in order to bring Luca Rossetti to this edition of RVM

[[Madeira-Rally]]

Local TV reported yesterday that organization is trying to find a deal with Bryan Bouffier to be in RVM 2007.

[jose camacho]

With the Polish Peugeot ?

[Madeira]

With the Polish Peugeot ?
Bryan Bouffier has a deal with Polish Peugeot since Rally of Poland to run in 3 or 4 rallys in that country at least and the car should be the same that Janos Toth used in Ypres.

Welcome to the forum ;)

[[Madeira-Rally]]

With the Polish Peugeot ?

Hi, and welcome to the forum ;)

There is no Polish Peugeot.. The S2000 Bouffyer used in Poland Rally is the same as Janika used in Ypres and use in selected tarmac events in Hungary. The Peugeot is from TRT, an Hungarin Team.

It will be really difficult to see Bouffyer with this car in Madeira... There is rally in Hungary one week before RVM and one rally in Poland one week after RVM... so... :)

Let's wait and see...

[jose camacho]

So, it's one car to two drivers, Boufier and Toth. But they have another 207 in Italy. The Twister Corse Peugeot. I think the Alessandro Perico program it is stoped.
Another information from Lisbon: a certain manager it is trying a S2000 to Bernardo Sousa in Rali Vinho Madeira !

Yes... Twister have one 207 prepared by Enjolras...
We still waiting for a press release from Twister Corse about what's happening.. Perico didn't start in San Martino di Castrozza :(

By the way, if someone could translate this press release...Thanks in advance ;)

It would be no problem, as Janika won't start in Hungary, maybe only one race at the end of the season. And the polish championship was a one-off, as much I know, so the car should be free at the time of RVM. :)
btw, Janika's team is thinking about the participation of Rally Valais after the unlucky belgian IRC round. Decision before Barum Rally.

According to the local TV, Gilles Panizzi could be present in the next Rally Vinho Madeira driving the Peugeot 207 S2000 as Hervé Panizzi as co-driver.

It' s true ! Gilles Panizzi will take part in RVM with a 207, but I think his codriver could be Xavier Panseri.

Is there a temporary list somewhere?

So congratulation to organisers, because he wanted huge amount of money...

[Tom206wrc]

I don't think Panizzi want so much money... :rolleyes: he wants rather to drive a car on rallies...


As for the non-official entrylist of RVM, there's one on http://www.ralis.online.pt ;)

Eight 207s, nine Grande Punto, two Polos, as I wrote above perhaps a record of S2000s :D

Portuguese Fiat Vodafone and José Pedro Fontes have been testing to prepare Rally Vinho Madeira.

[garden56]

Local Newspaper ( Diario de noticias) announced that "Rali Vinho da Madeira 2007" will have 18 Teams with S2000.

One of those is Alberto Hevia Muniz/Alberto Iglesias, with a Volkswagen Polo S2000 prepared by René Georges Rally Sport.

Looks like that for the first year we will have most of the names that were announced previously !!!

[[Madeira-Rally]]

So... we can do a pre-entry list of S2000 cars...

Andrea Navarra - Fiat Punto S2000
Umberto Scandola - Fiat Punto S2000
Volkan Isik - Fiat Punto S2000
Michal Solowow - Fiat Punto S2000
Freddy Loix - Fiat Punto S2000
Tomasz Czopik - Fiat Punto S2000
Vitor Sá - Fiat Punto S2000
José Predo Fontes - Fiat Punto S2000
Corrado Fontanta - Fiat Punto S2000

Bruno Magalhães - Peugeot 207 S2000
Enrique Garcia Ojeda - Peugeot 207 S2000
Nicolas Vouilloz- Peugeot 207 S2000
Bernd Casier - Peugeot 207 S2000
Marco Cavigioli - Peugeot 207 S2000

Alberto Hevia - VW Polo S2000

So, 15 S2000 cars above are confirmed... who are the other 3 ?

Possibilities:
*Gilles Panizzi - Peugeot 207 S2000
*Bryan Bouffier - Peugeot 207 S2000
*Jimmy Joge - Peugeot 207 S2000
*Bernardo Sousa - S2000
*Brice Tirabassi - Peugeot 207 S2000

Please give me some help ;)

[Tom206wrc]

I guess Jimmy Joge's chances to go to Madeira will depend on his results in Russia this week-end ;)



Concerning Brice Tirabassi it was scheduled in his BSA program to run an IRC event, so why not Madeira :)

And concerning Bryan Bouffier I also read somewhere the rumour he was approached by Madeira organizers :)

[[Madeira-Rally]]

Bernardo Sousa is out of the possibilities to drive a S2000...

He will drive a EVO IX from Mitsubishi Portugal...

[[Madeira-Rally]]

It looks like Tirabassi is out of question too...

Freddy Loix is confirmed in the 2007 edition of Madeira Wine Rally.
The belgian driver, who will have Eddy Chevailler as co-driver, will speed on the madeiran roads driving a Fiat Punto Super2000, a car that Pieter Tsojen drove in Ypres Rally.
Nicknamed by the fans «Fast Freddy», Loix is, this way another important name joining a long list of very good participants who promise a fierce competition and lots of emiton for the 48th edition.

Every years is the same... so nothing strange... :s mokin:

Without Hevia stay 14 drivers confirmed..

Fiat has changed Umberto Scandola by Giandomenico Basso.
it seems Gilles Panizzi will have the support from Barroso sport and also Vitor Sá like Simon JJ had in the last edition of rally, but I never heard something about Barroso sport and Peugeot... really strange

[janez l.]

wow, this is fast becoming my favourite championship.

its just sad that eurosport covers it so badly, all those great drivers and we get to see so little...

This is looking great. Hope it will be a big battle. Great to see Duval & Basso too!

But like Madeira-Rally says, wait until the rally starts to bee sure... :D


It's is allways nice to quote the source, where is this list coming from?

It cames from organization... they made a press conference yesterday after entries closed...

But.. like I said before, let's wait a little bit more :)

We are talking about big numbers (€€€) to have all of this drivers here... so... nothing more than wait more one week :)

[Tom206wrc]

It's a CRAZY entrylist !!!! WOW !!!! :eek: :eek:

I can't wait for this rally to start !! :bounce: :bounce:

[Madeira]

It's a CRAZY entrylist !!!! WOW !!!! :eek: :eek:

I can't wait for this rally to start !! :bounce: :bounce:

It is not the entrylist, it is only the provisional entries of rally. The final Entrylist will be published on 25th July 18:30 local time

[HaCo]

Duval is NOT starting in Madeira, nothing true about that:
http://www.pitstoptv.info/pitstop/?p=2265
Translated:
Duval: “I will not drive in Madeira. The only thing on my agenda is a test for the WRC Rally of Deutschland. That test takes place a day before the recce.”

[Tom206wrc]

Oh no :(

I have enough with the false rumours now :mad: :mad:

[[Madeira-Rally]]

Exactly what I said before many times... let's wait a few days to see if the announcements of organizers are really truth...

[N.O.T]

:( :( :(

[[Madeira-Rally]]

There is a rumor that Panizzi wouldn't come too...

[[Madeira-Rally]]

So.. it's confirmed :(

Duval - out
Chiavaro - out
Bouffyer - out

And I wouldn't be surprised if Panizzi wouldn't come..

[Tom206wrc]

]Exactly what I said before many times... let's wait a few days to see if the announcements of organizers are really truth...



But WHAT does it bring to organizers of rally to invent rumours and drivers coming when drivers themselves even don't know what their cloth future will be made off ??? Why do they do that ??? :rolleyes:

[N.O.T]

That really sucks ...why the organisers publish all these fake rumours then ????

[HaCo]

They wanted more S2000's than Ypres... :)

[Tom206wrc]

OK...I found reason why Dudu won't run in Madeira: Kronos which runs a 207 S2000 on that event and will make François run in WRC didn't want him to run in the "rival car"(the Fiat Grande Punto)... :mark:

[NRI]

Finally, Panizzi will not be in Madeira neither ...

[pino]

Finally, Panizzi will not be in Madeira neither ...

Tom, I don't know the exactly reason... but.. year after year it's the same. :(

And even more, when only a little percentage of people had Internet in Madeira (at the end of 90's) they use to lie more than nowadays, and then, they use to say that the driver couldn't come because of some strange reason.

Before the race, we always have a big names, but for the real race we use to have a "normal" entry list...

Our organizers year after year try to pass the idea that Rally Vinho Madeira is the best rally of ERC, the best entry list, etc... and almost all the people believe them... just because they don't really know European Rallys.
Every invited drivers that come here, win some money (I suppose a lot of money) and they tell in the Interviews always the same... "Beautifully Island, fantastic atmophere, really nice rally, one of the best in the world... bla bla lba)" OK, I believe in that :s mokin:

I think it's time to face the truth... I have to agree that RVM is probably the best ERC/IRC rally, we have beautifully roads, a fantastic atmosphere, etc... But the truth is that in the last years, RVM never had the best entry list... Barum, 1000 Miglia, had the best entries of last years in ERC... and this year Sanremo will be the best IRC Rally.

[[Madeira-Rally]]

They wanted more S2000's than Ypres... :)

Maybe you are right Haco...

I use to talk with our member Madeira in messenger and we said many time that if we had the same number of S2000 as in Ypres it would be could... and so... it will be the same number!

Paulo, You can not compare ours entries with the rest of rallys in Europe, You has forgotten that we live in a island so far of central europe, how much its costs to bring a good foreigner driver here???, in the other way if you look the entry list of 1000 miglia or Barum what you see? good cars, good drivers because they have a very competitive national championships. What do you think about portuguese championship in this moment?. We had good moments of rally during all of this years, with the same of organizers, they had committed errors? of course they did. we are only 250.000 of inhabitants in the island, think on this, competing by a good place in the world of rallys, isn't easy, year,after year trying to keep the rally on the top. For me, sorry guys, Rali Vinho Madeira is the better rally of the world, with the better organization of the world and I would like to receive all of rally fans in the most beautiful island of the world to see our rally!!!

Yes Madeira, I almost totally agree with you.

And Maybe I was a little bit hard with people from organization in my last post.

The only think I would like to say that I don't like in this organization is their "Bluff"... only that :)

[Jarek Z]

What gutted me more is that FIAT will have the most numerous drivers able to fight for the best top places on this rally compared to Peugeot !!! Unfairness :mad: :(

It's not unfairness. FIAT is cheaper and more accessible than Peugeot. That's why most drivers rent the Italian car instead of Pug.

And why are you guys crying so much for Panizzi? I'm personally very happy that he won't come to Madeira.

I agree with Jarek, Panizzi was not that good last year in Madeira.

[Jarek Z]

And why Jarek?Panizzi is very very good driver.He can be one of the best in Madeira.

Maybe you are right, but I never liked him. I always liked Delecour and as you may remember a few years ago there was a great conflict between these 2 French drivers.

Delecour was vice-World Champion and Panizzi? He was competing for so many years, most of the time with the best car, but he has never achieved anything. He was competing in WRC for ten years and won only 7 rallies. And all of them were on his favourite surface (tarmac) and in the best car on the entry list (Pug 206 WRC). He has never achieved anything in a car other than Peugeot. The last time he won anything was 4 years ago.

Of course Panizzi is a good driver, but I have much more respect for drivers like Travaglia or Jean-Joseph, who can be fast in any car, no matter if it's a factory or private team.

[mousti]

Yes.I remember that conflict.Delecour is racer who is racing from the heart (remember Deutshland rally with Mitsubishi).When he was racing I was a kid so I dont remember very good many things.But where is now?In fact Panizzi is stil racing and Francois?..

According to a friend Travaglia's EVO IX fro Madeira is completely new.

Maybe he can improve his performances... (the other car always had problems in previous rallys)

[Tom206wrc]

Official entrylist, then...??? :confused:

[[Madeira-Rally]]

Official entrylist, then...??? :confused:

Only after 18:30 ;)

Local TV announced that Solowow could be the next to not come to the rally..

According tho them, it looks Solowow his having problems sending the car to Madeira... :s

[Tom206wrc]

Anyway, even without Solowow and Duval, Fiat would still have the best chance to have best results possible with many good drivers compared to Peugeot(especially if Panizzi can't come) :rolleyes:

[HaCo]

It's passed 18h30 now... where is the list? :)

[harriswrc]

It is on the official site of the rally!

[harriswrc]

But how can I save it to my pc? It is on macromedia flash payper...

[Jarek Z]

Very strange idea to publish the entry list as a Macromedia Flash plug-in!

Breaking news:
Big problems for the local hero Vitor Sá. During the latest tests with his Fiat Punto S2000, he has broken the Punto's engine. In this moment it seems that Abarth will give him one of the two engines of reserve that they have in Madeira. According the last reports, Vitor Sá won't be present at the Shakedown.

[[Madeira-Rally]]

I think that won't be a big problem for Sá...

They will replace the engine, and everything will go very well :)

Yesterday I saw him, and it look's like he his very confident for the rally.

The weather in Madeira is getting better than previous days.

[[Madeira-Rally]]

Our friend 'Madeira' is currently observing Travaglia testing the car before shakedown in a private test.

He send me an SMS... "A Gr.N in the hands of Travi.. is like a mini WRC" :)

At the afternoon I will be at shakedown with 'Madeira'

[[Madeira-Rally]]

I suppose you can follow shakedown results in this link

[Tom206wrc]

Shakedown started !! ;)

[Tom206wrc]

Why only 15 drivers have their times ?? :confused:

[[Madeira-Rally]]

I'm arriving right now from shakedown!

I have to say that I'm very impressed with Honda Civic R3...
They are both fast and very spectacular :)

The best I've seen it was last pass by Luca Betti... really impressive style, amazing!

Basso, Navarra, Magalhães and Ojeda were also very nice... as well as Czopik.. a nice surprise..

[Madeira]

Yes I'm with Paulo seeing the shakedown and for me the stars of the day were Giandomenico Basso, Ojeda and Bernardo Sousa, and I'm really impressed with the performance of both Hondas!

[HaCo]

Hmm, the belgians didn't have a very good shakedown, even slower than an S1600. Lets wait until friday, hope they will improve a lot.

Has somebody got the nr of runs?

I'm not sure, but I suppose that they will transmit some live stages in this link.

[[Madeira-Rally]]

Has somebody got the nr of runs?

Hum, I don't know exactly...

but I can tell you that bot Hondas passed a lot of times as well as Peres, Bernardo Sousa, Isik, Travaglia and Magalhães...

Then.. Basso, Navarra, Fontana, Loix, Casier, Fontes, Jean Joseph...

Looking in the results... very impressive performance from Magalhaes, I thought he was more familiar with gravel than tarmac. Navarra faster than I expected, Loix slower but he must get uset to drive Punto... But as it was said, it was just a shakedown :)

I have the info that is everything ok with Vitor Sá.

He is right now at scruteneering!

[[Madeira-Rally]]

Taken from official site

According to Article 26.4 of Special Rally Rules 2007, the participation in Shakedown is mandatory for all the entered National priority drivers. So, team nr 10, Vítor Sá / Humberto Freitas receives a fine of 800 euros, for not complying with the FPAK Rules.

[Tom206wrc]

OK...just a fine, not an exclusion or time penalty then, good ;)


Can someone help me the the horary of Portugal/Madeira ??? :confused:

Is the difference between France and Portugal and Madeira just 1 hour or 2 hours ??? :confused:

I'm arriving from Service Park area... there are some cars there :)

i take some pics, bt unfortunately I forgot the cable to transfer the pics to the PC :(

I was talking with some drivers (most of them weren't there, I suppose they were lunching...) but nothing special... only a few words...

They were replacing shock absorbers in Travaglia's car and fixing some minor problem with brakes in Simon Jean Joseph car...

The most impressive from service park, is ABARTH Team...

Their trucks wow.... everything like a WRC Team... or even better ;)

It's strange, but it look's like all EVOS (19) in rally Vinho Madeira had problems in scruteneering :s
Only after the decision of clerk we will know it they are allowed to enter in the race...

I suppose they will decide that all EVOS can enter normally...

[Tom206wrc]

Can't wait for today 10.12am(french time) !!! :D

[Sergio-Rallymax]

Can nobody see like RTPN or RTPM live in Internet?...

[txl]

From official site:

Poor wheather is waiting for the drivers. There has been heavy rain on the hills.
With this wheather, all the teams are holding their decisions concerning the tyres.

At the Service Park, drivers like Fontana, Travaglia, Basso or Vouilloz are waiting to decide.

In general, the common idea in their declarations is to see what happens in the first stages and then choose the best way to go faster.

Also Navarra had electrical problems and could not start the engine in the parc ferme.

[Tom206wrc]

Terrible for Navarra !!!! :(

[Tom206wrc]

Basso has just completed SS2 ;)

[Tom206wrc]

Loix and Fontana were 19 and 20s slower...

[Tom206wrc]

Travaglia faster than Basso for almost 3s !!! :eek:

[Tom206wrc]

Sola more than 5 minutes faster than Travaglia :laugh:


What kind of petrol for the Honda ??? :p :

[Tom206wrc]

They have corrected :D

[Sergio-Rallymax]

There is no great difference between Basso and Travaglia with regard to the others?

[Tom206wrc]

Local driver Sà off road :mark:

I guess tyres choice was the main thing as rain is announced :rolleyes:

[Tom206wrc]

Loix +1m16 from Basso on SS3 :s

[Sergio-Rallymax]

Fontana +51,3
Travaglia +15,8
This is very stranger

[Filip]

And what is with Magalhaes?
A bad tyre choice or he is just slow?

[Filip]

Voullioz? very bad time for him.

[Sardalense]

Magalhaes has engine problems. Vouilloz either. The conditions are very very bad, a lots of rain and fog, almost impossible to see the cars on TV during the live transmisson of SS3. Loix lost 1 minute due to problems, I don´t know the reason. Fontana made a spin on SS3

[txl]

There is some information in the press releases: http://www.ralivm.com/pressReleases/index.cfm

[Sardalense]

Transmission problems for Loix

[Tom206wrc]

Incredible number of drivers in problems !!!! :eek:

We have to ad Vouilloz among them :(

[Tom206wrc]

I hope engines of Magalhaes and Vouilloz can be repaired at the service now :(

[Tom206wrc]

Fast Freddy got a 1m50s penalty out of assistance I suppose it's the time taken to repair his transmission :mark:

[Tom206wrc]

Retirement for Freddy Loix at the assistance :(

Nicolas Vouilloz best time in front Travaglia and Basso on SS4 despite knowing he has no chance now with a total of 2m20s penalty... :eek:

[Tom206wrc]

Retirement also for Dimitar Iliev before SS5(gearbox) :mark:

[Fiorio]

The weather continue improbably, some places wet and fog another dry but...for afternoon the prevision is light rain...
Maybe the weather explain so many problems for drivers but i think its not all.
Bernando Sousa crash and the Nicolas Vouilloz penalties more 2 minutes..

[Fiorio]

I hope engines of Magalhaes and Vouilloz can be repaired at the service now :(
It´s not problem of engine, but it´s bad choose of tires...i said will attack now...he up 11º place

[Tom206wrc]

After SS5 Bruno Magalhaes is 9th overall ;)

On next stage he could eat Camacho and Jean-Joseph for the 7th position :p :

[jure dvorsek]

I am suprissed about the pace of Travaglia, he was the fastest again on SS 6. Nice to see, that is evo 9 ahaed of S2000 !!! Go ,Renato, go !!
Very poor show from the local drivers-this is more like an Italian Championship.

[Mirek]

Very nice performance from Magalhaes. I think he'll get to fourth place soon.

Travaglia must drive incredibly :)

[Tom206wrc]

A Peugeot 207 3-4-5 wouldn't bother me :p :


Soon SS8 will run(in about 5 minutes) ;)

[HaCo]

Casier is running a good rally too, nobody mentioned him. It's a pitty for Loix! :(

How can you see live video footage?? In 10 minutes it's rally on Eurosport 2!!

[Tom206wrc]

Magalhaes best time ahead of Vouilloz in SS8, and is back 5th overall only 1s off Pedro Fontès :bounce:

Also note the great fight in S1600 between Jean-Joseph and local driver Camacho(8th and 9th overall) :D

[Jarek Z]

Portuguese drivers cannot keep the pace of those crazy Italians. I wonder what Miguel Campos would do in this situation! Miguel, where are you? ;)

Is it raining now or was it only raining in the morning?

[CricketsFilm]

New Videos inserted on

http://www.cricketsfilm.tv "Corrado Fontana Channel TV"

and is near ready new Video (Czopik) "Ace Racing Online TV"

[Jarek Z]

Who knows what the total distance of special stages is? I can't find it on the oficial website...

[Tom206wrc]

I wonder if Magalhaes is "happy" enough being currently the 1st portuguese, or if tomorrow he's going to try to push Ojeda in pressure and try to get podium :confused:

[HaCo]

I really love the live transmissions of Eurosport. Since 2 weeks I have Eurosport 1 and Eurosport 2. With this you can follow IRC very well, it's a nice concept op semi-live rallying. It's a pitty that Eurosport 2 has a Headlines bar all the time, but so much rally coverage this weekend, we can't complain can we. :)

Casier a solid 7th time on SS11, Czopik and Isik loose a lot of time. Wonder what Loix will do in Superally.Aparantly he starts very late, or he is allready out?

[Tom206wrc]

Fantastic RUN by Nicolas Vouiloz today !!! 4th best time in SS11, best time in SS12, 12th overall only a few seconds from top 10... :D :bounce:

What a disaster he lost so much yesterday morning ;(

[Tom206wrc]

Also note Enrique Garcia-Ojeda starts to seriously threat Renato Travaglia position :p :

Perhaps the terrain today is more favourable to S2000s than GrNs :confused:

[Wim_Impreza]

Also note Enrique Garcia-Ojeda starts to seriously threat Renato Travaglia position :p :

Perhaps the terrain today is more favourable to S2000s than GrNs :confused:

The whole rally is better for S2000's than GrN's. S2000 on 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and Group N on 2 and than a big gap to the second Group N.

[Tom206wrc]

Vouilloz 10th overall after SS13... ;)



17.8s is the gap between Travaglia and Ojeda with 5 stages to go :bounce:
