Pitty also we don't see Enrique Garcia Ojeda anymore :(
as I said few days ago,I think Luis Monzon could be able to fight to get third place with Gassner, Wiegand and Hevia...Quote:

Regards from Gran Canaria.
Nice to see Jose Maria Ponce with B.M.W.!

I hope for some good result for Hevia. After his puncture from Asturias 2009 here is again very big chance to attack the podium. Letīs see together that onboard video from Asturias 2009. I totally understand his emotions. It is one of the most sad videos I īve ever seen. Maybe more sad than hunters killing baby-seals with wooden sticks. : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SlBeYqtngV8
The IRC certainly isn't what it's been for the last couple of years....
After getting the upper hand over Juho on Azores, it will be interesting to see whether Andreas can also beat Skoda Motorsport's asphalt driver on Canarias this weekend.
I guess the other battle will be for third place...
Still looking forward to the event, even if it looks like we will have to wait until the series returns to mainland Europe for some better entry lists.
Puskadi will test today. What rallies he'll do this year in IRC?
Not only him, almost all top runners were testing todayQuote:

Maybe the rally Andreas was most off pace last year, he will be happy with a podium he says... We will see :)Quote:

Any rumours or comfirmations yet on what other rallies Puskadi will do with Fabia this year?
Good question was asking this yesterday :-/ No answer yet :DQuote:

Looks like Andreas has tested the durabilty of the car pretty intensively..
Any photos or videos of Hevia testing?
I expect Gassner to do a little better here than Azores, he wasn't too bad on Meczek last year. 3rd podium spot is pretty hard to call actually, although I expect the car to be wearing the winged arrow :)
Cool livery of Puskadi!
Hi mousti and Hartusvuori!
As far as I know Puskadi will do Tour de Corse, Mecsek Rallye, Yalta Rally and Cyprus Rally. Few weeks ago when I talked to him this was the plan. His Eurosol Racing Team will be present on more IRC events since Krozser's Civic R3 is also from Eurosol and he is plannig seven more IRC rounds. They also have a Fabia R2 (Vizin used it on the Azores) with a full program for the Hungarian Championship but still available for IRC events.

Ypres is legendary and I am sure if they can secure the budget they will do it!
Indeed, pretty sure he'll like it! Would be awesome!Quote:

Here will be results: Rally Islas Canarias 2012 - Results - Rally-Base
What a livery for Harry Hunt :D
When is 1. stage on?
Rally starts tomorrow morning.
I see Hevia is on Hankooks, will be interesting to see how he does although I guess that will rule him out of the podium fight.
Mikkelsen fastest already - doesn't take a genius to guess it will be another win for him if he keeps it on the road. Wiegand's time is interesting as he went fastest on his first run - that bodes well for the rally.
So where does this fit in??

They are running in the spanish championship, I think...Quote:

Yes, it's a Dytko's car. MSC-team is the name of Mantecon's team (Motorsport Solution Cars). You can see a test of the car here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Il887zwOUlsQuote:

Skoda decided to send only one factory driver in each rally. Skoda will also do some ERC events.Quote:
