Thank you for your impressions. How does the Clio R3 sound and behave on the stages? Is it similar to the Clio S1600 or more to the group N Clio, that Princen had last year? The livery is awful, but maybe the car isn't? ;)

Can you explain better the details? The homologation of this car had a lot of troubles...

Rallye Matador Tatry

There's an interesting rally in Slovakia this weekend (13-15th of April). The rally is held in Puchov which is very close to Polish and Czech border. The entry list contains many famous names from Slovakian, Czech and Polish championships, as well as drivers from ERC and even WRC. The only bad thing is the weather. I traveled more than 500 km to see this rally last year and when I arrived... it was raining for three days! :/

Anyway, here is the official website:

Cant read Czech but it looks like it is a S1600 spec engine so looks like I was almost right!

It's homologated as a Kit Car because there was no appropriate engine in stock fabia, as require rules for Super 1600.

Juha Kankkunen will be in Rally de Canarias (2nd round of Spanish Tarmac Championship) driving a 206 WRC, Jordi Zurita also will be in driving an Aston Martin GT, and maybe will be Luis Monzón in a 206 WRC or similar.

Priority drivers. When you win a FIA title or a national championship, you must have a good startnumber in all the rallies.

Very interesting indeed! For anyone, pics are very much welcome.

Juha's done the "National" event tagged onto the back of what was the El Corte Ingles before in a Corolla WRC backed by Fortuna ciggies so guess this is a similar deal.They've backed Monzon for years and he was out in a 206WRC last year.

It's interesting, that Juha, a multiple times World Rally Champion, has driven El Corte Ingles Rally so many times and never won it...

I'm sorry to disappoint you, but according to http://www.autoklub.pl/15165,news.ht...54511c7deb9def Baranauskas didn't come to Slovakia. Also Cserhalmi and Valousek are absent.

It's official now! :D

Wevers Sport has bought 4 Fabia WRC's from Skoda Motorsport.
He's going to drive one in the Dutch Championship, Kuipers also. They switch from the Corolla to Fabia.

What's going to happen with the other 2 Fabia's is unknown yet.

Great news of course :up:

Bit surprising too, considering Wevers managed to get a postponing on the Corolla's homologation till the end of 2008. Anyway, looking forward to see them in action. Hope at least one of the two Corolla's will stay in the Dutch championship, no matter what driver :)

Next weekend is the 2nd round of the Greek Rally Championship....the entry is pretty good with 133 entrants...but since the event is 1 day tarmac 1 day gravel some crews are going to participate only on tarmac or only on gravel.

here is the entry (need greek fonts)

[Madeira-Rally]

After 4 Stages, Václav Pech is leading Rally Matador Tatry.
Kuzaj is 2nd and Kuchar 3rd Overall... Polish drivers are feeling good in this rally.

I didn't noticed before the rally starts, but Italian driver Luca Cecchettini is competing here. it looks like he had some problems in SS 3... but in SS4 is set 4th fastest time!

Some pics available here ;)

After SS5 Pech and his Mitsubishi are still leading the rally. Kuzaj (Subaru) is second, 11 seconds behind. Igor Drotar (Skoda Octavia WRC) and Tomasz Kuchar (group N Subaru Impreza) are fighting for third place. It's a pity that Bulgarian Krum Donchev retired. He was 5th after SS2. Valousek, who was supposed to drive Clio R3, didn't start the rally, because his team didn't manage to prepare the car in time.
