for sure no.
Kuchar bought a car from TRT I think, but I'm not 100% sure about that. Now he has some problems with budget as one of the sponsors withdraw, but we will see...

I have just read about it too. When I read Ogryzek's words I started laughing. Really, some Polish drivers should start their own cabaret :) As far as I know he started competing in Polish championship in 2011. So after 2 years he already knows all the stages? Why doesn't he have any achievements then? :)

Still I wish him good luck. I saw him on the stages and it didn't look bad. But to choose Ypres is for someone like Ogryzek a brave move. He's the best candidate to repeat Scandola's underwater accident from 2006 :)

Can you see any similarities? ;)

He was second in RPP in 2012.

For sure he don't have talent like Kubica or even Kajto but i think that he chose the right path.

Maybe, but we both know what the level of RPP is.
But they say that fortune favours the brave, so good luck to him!

The calendar is expected to be cut to 11 or 12 events for 2014. On the other hand, Ribeiro wants to see the UK
back in the series next year. The choice is between The Circuit or a gravel rally based in Sunderland.

Did you see this story in Motorsport News? I noticed it also said Rally Estonia was another possibility for nect season and that Islas Canarias is likely to be dropped. A UK gravel event in the north i.e Kielder and/or North York Moors would be fantastic, so too Rally Estonia!

Guys, do you think, that Daniel Oliveira, who competes in ERC this year, is a better driver or guitarist?

Not bad, not bad :D (I've listen several bands of this music style, this one is not bad).

PS: Anyway, Norway rules in Black Metal! :D

I was thinking to organise a concert of his music group, but Daniel told me that they are not existing now.

Well, Ari Vatanen himself believes Rally and music are related somehow, may be Oliveira's results in WRC are not stunning so far, but I'm glad to see competition, especially in ERC now from around the world. It's really good for the sport. Best wishes to him in his Rally career!

Skoda enters Jan Kopecky for Azores Rally, closes on ERC title bid - ERC news - AUTOSPORT.com

If this is true then it's very good news. ERC needs factory Skodas and Jan Kopecky to add some stature to the series
10th April 2013, 10:18
RS

I don't think the news of Azores changes anything. IMO Skoda will do whatever is the minimum necessary for Kopecky to take the title. This probably won't be all the rounds, considering he has a 100% win rate so far.
10th April 2013, 10:51
Jack4688`

True but if they do decide to enter in enough rounds to realistically challenge for the title then that's good news. So far we've heard from Kopecky that he wants to do more rounds but Skoda wouldn't commit to a season programme - just the Janner, then Islas Canarias. If they were to say 'we're doing Corsica, Ypres, San Marino, Zlin, Poland and San Remo' (for example) then we'd know and expect to see Kopecky in a factory Skoda at a few more events this year
10th April 2013, 11:16
Mirek

In my opinion they will sure do some more rounds. From those You picked I guess most is realistic except San Marino which clashes with Škoda home event Rally Bohemia.

Heard in Portugal that Robert Kubica is planning on doing all remaining rounds of the ERC. He's going to be a busy boy! Great news for ERC!

Basso will start in Tour de Corse in a 207 S2000!

After finishing Rajd Swidnicki only in 8th position in the FWD category Slawomir Ogryzek decided to fly to Italy and go to school. His teachers? Not bad - Vittorio Caneva and Luca Rossetti. But will they guarantee success in ERC for their schoolboy? ;)
Ogryzek's second event (after Liepaja Ventspils) in ERC will be Tour de Corse. Good luck!

This is great news, but I am still disappointed his programme with the A-Style Fiesta didn't continue.

I prefer to see G.Basso in S2000 car on Tour de Corse, as with RRC he would be 100% winner. But with N/A engine things can be more equal and interesting...

Fair point. I still think he could have taken on Sordo last year were it not for the incident with the spectator car.
