S2000 summary

I think the car will be from Italy, but must wait for confirmation ;)

About stages. Have a look at last year on http://www.barum.rally.cz.

City stage should be the same as 2007.

Stage Pindula is in reverse direction and a little bit shorter (cutted very fast few hundred meters before finish of 2007).

Stage Zádveřice will be almost same as last year in my opinion, only a bit different at start.

Stage Janišov is same but few kilometers longer (start part is new).

Stage Troják will be the same in my opinion.

Stage Komárov uses last year shakedow in reverse dirrection. It should be similar to what was driven in 2006.

Stages Kudlovice and Halenkovice are reversed but I think non modified reasonably from 2007.

Shakedown is driven on last year stage Slušovice in reverse direction. Map is here:

Apparantly FIA allowed differant ration for the Xtrac gearbox and offered a solution.
So it would/could be homologated on the 1st of August. Looking forward to see the first test... ;)

ProRally: What about X-Trac are You talking? MG and Škoda also use X-Trac...

I believe Motorsport News said that the Corsa could break cover within six weeks. With the car likely to be homologated on October 1st with a competitive debut a possibility before close of seasons this year.

Of course, i'd wait for official confirmation before getting too excited :P

Would Vauxhall(Opels for the UK market)have automaticly the S2000 too(an S2000 with wheel-driver on the right side) :confused:

FIA was looking at differant options for ratio of the XTrac hence the delay of homologation.

That will also end the only homologated XTrac S2000 which is MG at the moment. All other homologated S2000 uses SADEV

But I could be wrong... :D
