[IRC] Ypres Westhoek Rally 2009

Ypres wasn't in pre-season plans. It's something extra they need extra funding from company leadership.

They announced after Portugal that they will be there with their two works cars, so it sounded that everyting is ready for Ypres.
So we'll see as Mirek says it's not....

Where did they announce their presence in Ypres? There was no official statement saying more than "maybe" in my opinion.

I think with the inscriptions of them, that it's 99 % sure is that they start, because they can still wait a few days to confirm the inscription and payment, and they already did it now so...

Hanninen isn't on the entry list yet, because something of the papers went wrong during the inscription and will now be solved and then he will be added to the list :)

Believe me, they have sent entry form, because they must. Final decision about their start will be made during this week. I think there is a 90% chance to start on Ypres.

Thanks for the wishes guys :) Last year Ypres , was the first time i drove the S1600, a bit different from the KA, and previous GPA Escorts Cosworths, so learned a fair bit,, Now have a few more miles in the car, and hopefully will keep out the ditches, bent the rear beam on SS5 last year !!!!!

Hi PLuto, planning on the same spot as last year to service,, nice and peaceful !! down the bottom :)
