National Rally championships News

Wim, I'm sharing your opinion about the Italians. I was pretty dissapointed in Navarra last year, although he was sometimes unlucky. And yes, Ucci is the best! Never understood why FIAT didn't keep that guy.

Was in Germany today in the Eifel Rally, what a nice rally, it was the first time I've been there! Apparantly a great battle in Deutsche Rally Meistershaft, because the first three 1) Gassner 2) Kahle 3) Dobberkau where at the finnish in less than 10secs!!! All three drivers showed some very spectacular driving, probably due to the battle, pitty Gassner won again, cause he was allready in the lead of the German championship.
The Dutch WRC's in Eifel were nice as well, although some of the guys still need to read the manual :-) Also S1600 was very excting, Burkar was 10 secs ahaed of Ogier, that promises for Rally Germany in a few weeks!

In England, Rally Isle of Man, Mark Higgins took his fourth win, and becomes a joint recordholder. Despite Eamon Boland having a strong return, thanks to the dry roads of today, Higgins managed to keep just enough margin to take the overall win in his Subaru Gr.N. Wilks took third, after he crashed on stage 8 yesterday, but managed to pass David Higgins to make it to the third step of the podium.

1. Higgins M. 2h40'18"8
2. Boland at 11"6
3. Wilks at 3'45"7
4. Higgins D. at 5'19"4
5. Wozencroft at 9'34"8
6. Gass at 10'25"3

At the historic rally it was Jimmy McRae who took convincing victory in his Stobart Porsche 911.

After day 1 in Rally di San Crispino, Italy, gravel event, after 6 stages, with 9 short stages to go tomorrow, Andreucci took all stage-wins today:

1. Andreucci 1h09'11"4
2. Campedelli at 31"0
3. Rosetti at 44"2
4. Navarra at 44"3
5. Aghini at 1'22"3
6. Medidi at 1'51"0

I think nobody will be able to beat Andreucci tomorrow, interesting fight between Rosetti and Navarra. Chentre is leading two wheal drive categorie and is 18th overall. ;)

2. Tarabus at 1'20"2
3. Grzyb at 1'24"5

The S2000 cars were dominating the event, unfortunally the top Gr.N drivers were not there. ;)

bump and lurk--------------------------------our wow gold site:buy wow gold,wow gold,wow gold,wow gold,

Ucci is doing what he can do best-winning special stages!! He should once show his knowledge in a PWRC race, I think Arai, Aigner, Araujo,Hanninen and Co. would not have any smile on their face.....
Navarra had very bad season in 2007, but this year he already won one race and he is showing some progress-but his best years were when he drove turbo-charged cars (WRC or N4 suby&mitsu), and he admit that !
Did anybody notice our Slowenian driver in his small Fiesta ST ?? He his after stage nine on third position in a front whell class !!! Chentre is leading with Citroën C2 S1600, second is Clio R3, and than already Marko Jeram!! Impressive !!

With only one stage to go, Andreucci is still well in the lead and took again all stage wins. Rosetti is still in third and has a small margin over Navarra. ;)
