Yes, it is this what Kuzaj and Kuchar really need - A group car. Can't wait to see them on Rally Rzeszowski. It's hard to believe that they will compete with Bouffier on first rally in S2000, but from Karkonoski Rally (very lucky rally for Kuchar - win in 2001 and 3rd in 1999, 2000) I think there will be great fight among Bouffier, Kuchar and Kuzaj.
Rzeszowski Rally entry list... with only 31 crews! :(
http://www.rajd.rzeszow.pl/cms/uploa.../listaRSMP.pdf
So we have five clases (don't count historic) in PRC: S2000, S1600, N4, A7, R2...
A few photos from Sienna, where you can see Kuchar's new car:

Hum... Kuchar and Kuzaj in S2000 class...
Next polish rally for sure it will be interesting if Kuzi be able to keep the car on the road :)
Is this a new car ???
its from Kuipers
http://www.s2000rally.com/car-detail.php?car=73
Hum, I was thinkin that Kuchar's car would be from Kuipers... but ok..
So.. Kuchar car it's a new one?

What this article mean?
That Kuzaj will start competing with a 207 from STT racing and Flodin will take his place driving for Subaru till the end of the season?
Your Polish is still improving Paulo, I'm impressed :)
Yes, that's exactly what the article says. Kuzaj will no longer be Subaru Poland driver and he will drive in a new team now. Replacing him in the Subaru seat until the end of the season will be Patrik Flodin from Sweden, who may be fast in PWRC, but is apparently not good enough on the Polish stages ;)
Unfortunately I don't know anything about the origin of Kuzaj's new car.
In the meantime, Kuchar said that he is very happy about his 207 S2000. He said this car reminds him something between the old kit car and a WRC car.

It's good, because he spent a few years at the wheel of a beautiful Volkswagen Golf Kit Car
http://www.rallyonline.pl/ft.php?idg=524&pg_[go]=20
and Toyota Corolla WRC
http://www.rallyonline.pl/ft.php?idg=152&pg_[go]=200
So, Kuzaj and Kuchar have made everything not to drive Impreza N14. Also Frycz, whose N14 burned down completely on the Rally of Poland, doesn't seem to regret it at all. The only Polish driver who wants to drive N14 now is Marcin Beltowski:

Crash of Butruk from prologue:
http://pl.youtube.com/watch?v=DwtHgfMUa0A
He was very lucky.
SS1 - Bouffier already has problems with suspension. It means extremely fast times after service.
Surprisingly the car is OK after this crash and Butruk has just finished the first "real" special stage in 10th position.Quote:

Without Bouffier for sure it will be a great fight for the victory if Kuzi be able to keep the car on the road ;)
Definitely suspension i P207 S2000 is not durable enough... The same problem for Kuzaj on shakedown, for Sołowow on Mille Miglia and in some other rally (don't remember which one). Shock absorber was sheared off.
As far as I remember Solowow had shock absorber problem also on Ypres Rally. The same thing happened also to Toth and Tirabassi.Quote:

It looks like Kuzi is starting to improve his pace in the 207..
6 sec faster that Kuchar in SS3.. let's wait for Grzyb to understand better the pace of Kuzaj
Hum.. Grzyb only 1.5 slower in 28 kms stage...
I think if Bouffier was running without problems, he should be on the lead...
But i's a nice start fro Kuzaj at the wheel of Peugeot 207 S2000.
What is the reason for the retirement of Flodin?
He was lucky in shakedown...Quote:

Flodin had technical problems and he stopped on the stage
So, Kuzaj did this rally in his style!
Nice pace at the begining.. but on SS6 off road once again...
Kuzaj is back!
Yes :s mokin:Quote:

Is there any problem with Kuchar? I was expecting a little bit more from him...
It's not the same Kuchar as few years back :(
Yes... but he started the rally quite well..
then started to loose some time.. I was thinking it could be some problem in the car.. or something...
.
Kuzaj didn't waste his time. :p
And Grzyb is proving how good he is, maybe the best polish driver at the moment.
They write that Kuzi made 4 rolls. I think that superally is impossible...
Kuzaj - ................ ok I will write sth about him. Very nice to see him in A-group car, faster than Kuchar but...............
Kuchar - it's hard to judge him. I remember that there were more talented drivers in Poland for example Sztuka, Zaborowski, maybe Gielata, but he was surprisingly fast in WRC (2002, 2003, especially in Swedish Rally in 2002 - 12th place). In N-group car he wasn't so fast. For me his driving is not even. Maybe he need more time to handle the car. I think that now he has the last chance to show sth special. Super 2000 should be a good car for him.
Grzyb - showing great driving, can't wait for Barum Rally.
Bouffier - sad that he retired, we must wait for Karkonoski Rally to compare him with Kuzaj.
For me the best Polish driver is now not Grzyb but - Michal Kosciuszko (he's 2nd in Junior WRC, and was the only one who can battle with Bouffier).
I think it's Kajetanowicz.
No dobut that he's more talented, but Kosciuszko is the one who has money to drive a lot and increase his abilities. And to buy manufacturer seat. I think he will join manufacturer team in 2-3 years time.
Sztuka, Zaborowski and Gielata more talented than Kuchar??? I'm sorry, but when did you see that?Quote:

Great job for Grzyb in the moment :)
Madeira: Probably team decided not to spend money for nothing...
Yes, it was a decision made by Peugeot Polska not to re-join the rally.Quote:
