Do you know the old registration plate of Barrable's Skoda??
Thank'you!!
11R 0120 ek-Kopecky Canarias and Madeira
i think that it's impossible,because 11R 0120 is a skoda evo 2 and 600 S2E of Barrable is a evo 1!Quote:

Car of Kopecký from Canarias is already in Wevers Sport and the car from Madeira is really wide one. Moreover these were two different cars...
I guess it's 11R 0102 or 11R 0103.
Yazeed Al Rajhi will do 6 IRC rallies in 2011 in a Krono Peugeot 207 S2000 , starting with Tour de Corse
Marc van Dalen, the joint boss of Kronos Racing, is delighted to be welcoming Al Rajhi back to his team for a third consecutive season.
“Yazeed wants to learn asphalt rallies because his experience on this surface is not so big,” he said. “It's also great for us to have him in the team again because it's the third year in a row that he has been with us. He's a good guy and will have the latest specification Peugeot available.”
Al Rajhi, who will be co-driven by Matthieu Baumel, has still to be finalise his exact schedule.

If there is one thing you can't criticise Proton for it is their choice of drivers. Hopefully Basso gets the seat.Quote:

Seems TMN got back for some funding !
Those that know better, could Gardemeister hold some record in starting international rallies with most different S2000 cars? He has started with Fiat, Opel, Ford and Peugeot and now he's doing it with Skoda. That leaves only Proton out of the current selection.
Mikkelsen is almost there too. Skoda, Proton, Opel, Ford no Abarth and don't think Peugeot too. Garde need to drive with the Toyota , Polo and MG and he driven them all then I think :DQuote:

Subaru will start in IRC with Impreza R4 - http://www.autosport.cz/clanek.php?cl=11864
Garde's also going to begin building a junior team to race in IRC
http://www.mtv3.fi/urheilu/ralli/uut...n-junioritiimi (link has news in finnish regarding this)
Basic translation:
- at first one driver
- driving Ford Fiesta R2
- same rallies Toni does
- costs 20k/rally including everything
- there's been interest in this among drivers
- Toni: "I had a lot of help when I was starting my career and I want to offer my help to an upcoming driver."
When did Mikkelsen drive the Proton? I don't remember it.Quote:

Photos from Proton testing.
Proton is looking the third driver for Yalta rally. Firstly it was proposed to drive to former Ukrainian champions - Saluik and co-driver Chervonenko. First of them is father of current Ukrainian champion - Saliuk Jr. Chervonenko is chief of FAU (federation).
But Ukrainian federation proposed to review both Ukrainian champions - Saliuk (current) and Protasov (2008).
So, photos are from the testing.
As a guide there was Basso.
Yes. It was on testQuote:
