I know that Schlager was building new Clio, but car on Sanremo was from Montcar Autosport. Now only speculation from my side, but maybe that new Clio was not ready in time? Schlager was primary servicing car for Kogler in Sanremo...

Danzinger's car was definately not new, it was well used, prepared and serviced by Montcar Autosport in Sanremo. Schlager was running Kogler's Clio. Teams were also separated in service park...Quote:

regarding kogler adler is 100% right, kogler (father) is the owner of the clio and also the service is made by him (with 2 mechanics from schlager) but they work for kogler!Quote:

This rumour is going through internet for a few weeks. We will see if Francois will be successful with any of possible projects...
That's what I meant with seeing how true it is. Every year there are rumours that he's going to start in Ypres, never saw him driving here the last 10 years :D
I have sudden calendar update.... Bosphorus is OUT and Sibiu is IN.
Don't know the reason.
11-13 July - San Marino
25-27 July - Sibiu
Sibiu was the hottest favourite from beginning, despite lot of people doesnt want to have it there. In last weeks were lot of pushes from Bosphorus, but it looks like Sibiu will be there....
Hermann Neubauer is doing 2WD ERC 2013 (7 rounds) with Suzuki Swift S1600.
reason is budget.Quote:

It is not only about money, but Romanian drivers are also more interested in doing ERC / IRC races abroad...
... and this is the reason to present their country with ERC round? Does Santa Claus come earlier in Romania this year?Quote:

i was at Rally Sibiu this year and it was a fantastic event! freat atmosphere, friendly people, very very good and affordable food, and last but not least fantastic gravel stages in a stunning landscape!! sure the stages where a bit rough on the second pass, but i mikkelssen and many other showed that it is possible to drive fast and make it to the finish as well, i was also spectating in acropolis once and in zyprus and i can tell you that sibiu is by far not that rough as these two car breakers!!!
I think also ERC needs one of this slow gravel events where not only the speed counts but as well a little bit tactic and feeling how fast you can drive on bad rouds...
welcome Sibiu in ERC!!
i have seen some people which are against the Sibiu Rally but I think everyone has his reason....
Marco Tempestini will make 6 or 7 rounds from ERC with Subaru R4. His soon , Simone will make also some rounds.
Any program of him released yet? :)Quote:

There will be new site specially for the ERC 2013.
I don't know what the stages of Sibiu Rally are like. I know nothing about this event. But one thing I know for sure. Nobody needs as many as 13 round in ERC.Quote:

Probably he prefers the Subaru as it is, maybe, easier for him to drive it.
I heard only good words about the gravel at Bosphorus rally but maybe it's about the money in this case. Also it is true that Romanian drivers are more interested in the ERC than the Turkish ones.
On another hand I heard only bad opinions about the gravel at Sibiu rally. Drivers desribe it "hard as hell" and "impossible to drive fast". But maybe the organizers will change some stages...
To bring back participants in the European rally championship FIA must bring less rounds but more quality rallies that can attract even some private teams.
With 13 rounds I get the feeling that the money from the organizers are top priority from Eurosport.
I don't understand the constant criticsm of Eurosport for "chasing money". The championship costs money to run and they are not a charity. It would be lovely if we could choose a calendar based solely on romantic ideas but we live in the real world.
We still have some great and classic rallies in there though; Sanremo and Corsica, some 'modern classics' (Ypres and Barum), we would have Monte Carlo too if it weren't for ACM in my opinion making the wrong decision a couple of years ago...
stages are wonderful. very fast. not breaker. no damage to car. wash the car and go to home.Quote:

Counting the best 6 results from 8 rallies.
Kubica is very close to signing a deal with M-Sport.
Very good news ! Interesting entry into the serious European rallying.Quote:
