Ok, it's time.
Rally Liepaja - 6-8 February
Official website - http://2015.lvrally.com/eng
Available documents - http://2015.lvrally.com/eng/competitors
Entries opened from 15 December.
Interesting news - World Rallycross Championship third place holder Reinis Nitišs will take part in it on Ford Fiesta R2. One time outing to improve his driving skills.
Another interesting info - motto for this year is: "This rally is coool"
(to understand - we are joking with organisers, that they had bad weather during last years because of their mottos "This rally is hot" and "This winter is fast" ; and until they will have "This rally is cold", they will not have enough snow ;) )

Kajto confirmed Liepaja.
In interview on Latvian website - http://www.go4speed.lv/lv/news/erc/4...ies-vel-sivak/ - Lukyanuk says, that he an Kjato will be fighting hard in Liepaja. I supose that that means he has plans to to that rally with an R5.
Yes, he confirmed R5Quote:

If so, please put me down in an R5 Hyundai. My Mother will co-drive. She is only 83.
I think that entry fee for this rumour entry is free. It is only enough to write here on forum, that you want to start. But your attempt to make entry has two biggest mistakes - you didnt wrote name of your mother, her age is not enough. And you are entering with the car, which dont have homologation and is still only in development ;)Quote:

+ drivers projects. The important thing is have the correct official entry list when published ;)
That's pretty much nonsense in my opinion. Moreover I don't see what shall that be good for?Quote:

Gino Bux will be there too, 208 R2 again. He will do full JERC season and aiming for the title this year.
@LVrally tweeted - OFFICIAL. 3x #ColinMcRaeFlatOutTrophy receiver Lukyanuk to start in #RallyLiepāja. (w/Chervonenko, #FordFiestaR5)
I think we can add Gino Bux in Junior ERC at Liepaja, he should do the entire JERC serie ;)
He's on the provisional entry list more than a weekQuote:

Thanks
Rainer Rohtmets will do the ERC Juniors starting from Liepaja
He is fast boy, but his car has not been able to keep up with his tempo (electrical problems, engine problems etc.) ;-)
Raul Jeets plans to do at least 5 ERC rallies with Fiesta R5
No Gryazin yet on the entrylist though :mark:
