What bothers me is having to write the whole word, as the R would stand for something else…
Btw, congrats to Lopez, Hernandez and Sports&You for another brilliant win in spain.

Most of the people involved in rallysport. When I am discussing with drivers and explaining them that ERC1 Junior is for Rally2 cars, I always must add that it is R5. When I am talking about Rally4, I always must add that it is R2. And when they are asking about R4, I must explain that it is current R4 kit from Oreca and not older R4 from Subaru or Mitsubishi or new Rally4 from Ford or Peugeot...Quote:

Next week is the Rallye Princesa de Asturias, round of the tarmac championship ;)
This will be also the next round of the Peugeot Cup Iberica(second round, after the cancellation of Rali do Ribeiro), and I guess it will be under the rememberance of Laura Salvo ;(
At the moment is looking really bad it's celebration, let's hope not but the probablility of cancellation tomorrow is really high with the new mesaures here.Quote:

The aim is to be aligned with the international series, allowing young crews to be more competitive in all surfaces ASAP.

Interesting event currently running in Catalunya: the Rally Lloret de Mar ;)

If I understand correctly, the only Spanish Championship is now mixed-surface and counts 14 events... Drivers, teams and manus strongly disagree.

What?! That's more than in WRC and ERC! Some people in rally federations are completely crazy!Quote:

Maybe somebody from Spain could clarify. Moreover former Tarmac and Gravel series are now only Spanish Cup (not championship).
EDIT: The table of dates will be made up of thirteen appointments, of which the teams will have to choose ten at the time of their registration to the contest (after payment of 500 euros). Of the eight results to be added at the end of the season, five will be tests on asphalt and the remaining three on gravel.
The event number 14 is show in Madrid. No points but still you have to enter to be in final standings...
This is crazy system...Quote:

Impressive Thomas Chauffray in the Clio Rally 5 at Rally Sierra Morena :eek:
I was expecting Guillaume Canivenq to be the best overall french driver there(but he disappeared from classifcation in SS7) :confused:
Yeah, Chauffrey is very fast with the Clio. Lead almost all of the stages in Coeur de France (2nd round of French Trophy) untill he broke his suspension or a rim (don't remember exactly).Quote:

edit here is a video of the shortcut
https://www.diariomotor.com/competic...er-al-attiyah/
I am unsure of what the rules are for cross country rallies, from a rallying point of view that's a gigantic cut :D
Few years ago, Al Attiyah complained of excessive cutting by Al Qassimi in a MERC rally, and got him either disqualified or penalized, and in the end Al Qassimi lost the championship... in the same rally, Al Attiyah was filmed cutting massively as well...
MERC is one big cut :DQuote:

Looking for more information on these events it seems Granada will take place in September and I cannot find anything definitive about the Madrid event.
Alternatively are there any other gravel events in Spain in October?
Can it really be true that nobody knows the dates of rallies in Spain?
Next week at the Rallye de Tierra Alta de Lorca(gravel event)will be the first event for Alejandro Cachon(winner of the 2021 Peugeot Cup Iberica)in the Citroën C3 Rally 2 :)
Solans has more talent than money.
Spain are great on supporting Motorcycle talents and car racing talent and get their youngsters to the top.
What system do they have in place for rally talents that want to try to get best in the world?
They support at least Llarena and Bassas. I think they do a lot for yound rallying talents.Quote:

Recently booked a break to Lanzarote for the Rally Isla de Los Volcanes at the end of April so looking forward to witnessing the battle first hand!
Hello all!
Here our video of the SCER in Rally Sierra Moreno, won by Pepe López - Borja Rozada, in his Hyundai Rally 2.
https://youtu.be/t2DDn_AGhEw
Out here in Lanzarote and had been hoping to watch the latest round of the SCER however the rally has just been cancelled!
Ecologists had forced the organisers to lose 25km of the route however it looks as though local politics has meant the necessary licences not being granted.

The last round of the Spanish "Super" Championship/SCER took place in Tenerife at the weekend and although the rally was won by this years European Champion Efren Llarena in his usual Fabia it was Pepe Lopez in a Hyundai i20N Rally2 who took the series.
