Bit of a caotic start at the rally. The first stage was cancelled by the safety inspectors going through the stage before the start due to inadequate security zones. This was fixed and the stage was run later as stage 4. Stage 3 and 6 (the same stage) was a very short stage at only 3,5 km and were cancellede even before the start of the rally - I don't know why, but because the stage was so short it didn't really affect the rally much. The stage 5 was also cancelled - as far as I know due to oil at the stage after the first run.Quote:

Indeed a very unusual rally - but luckily not due to events of the sad kind seen in Belgium and France.

Nice video, I noticed Meira and Senra have sequential gearboxes in their Mitsubishis, is that some kind of national homologation or what?Quote:

Entry list of 27. Rally Velenje (SLO):
http://www.as2005.eu/adminPanel/dato...lenje_2012.pdf
Yep, spanish "gp N", with bigger restrictor (36mm), sequentials allowed, etc. They had plastic windows, etc. allowed also way earlier than it was homologated for gp RQuote:

Except few occasions they were usually slower.
So, eventually are those cars closer to Gr.N or R4?
I had a small chat about R4 cars few weeks ago and one guy mentioned that if current R4 cars could use sequential gearbox and bigger restrictor (apparently the 36mm one), they would have the potential to beat S2000 (on Finnish type gravel roads). Ofcourse this is a big IF, but does it have any truth to it?
And here we go at TRC (Turkish Rally Champ.) Round 3 İstanbul Rally as we back to gravel.
It will be a short practice of next round Bosphours Rally which will be an ERC round.
This year Istanbul Rally is only run on Sunday.
9 Special Stages (147 km) on three loops total 346 km. Some of the stages are knpow from 2010 WRC round Rally of Turkey and 2011 ERC round Bosphours.
Expected weather is over 30C all day long and it will be hard for all crews.
ISOK / ISTANBUL OTOMOBIL SPORLARI KULB is offical website that you can look after documents and live results.
I will post entry list later this week. But as you know Luca Rossetti, Volkan Işık, Yağız Avcı on the list :)
And with Istanbul Rally, the Fiesta Cup takes start too.
Fiesta R2's and Fiesta Gr.N's fight for the title and prize money. Istanbul Rally, Bosphours Rally and Kocaeli Rally will be run for the Cup entries.
If S2000 had several more upgrades they would be again far away. This way we get nowhere ;)Quote:
