It's car of Jan Sýkora. I'm surprised to see Varmuža/St.Johann stickers on the car as it is former sponsor of Valoušek...
thanks for info....don´t know about the sponsor either....btw: no more like button in the new forum design?Quote:

This is Sykora's car that Valousek used in Barum. Grossing took some photos with it some days after Barum and then the car went to Romania. Next week, Grossing will drive it in ARBO Rallye. That's all! :)

I know that it was used by Valoušek, I was just surprised by the stickers. Now I see that they were only left there from Barum, thanks.
And on sale from week 35, allegedly.Quote:

AndyRAC: You remind me one czech movie character named "Plha" He was repeating everything already said once or twice by somebody else before. You wouldn´t probably get the joke, but anyway from now on we will call you Plha, it´s your new nickname. :D
That was pretty stupid comment.Quote:

I do appreciate every joke which is funny however Yours are not the case, sorry.
I won't bother in future - I didn't know it had been announced before.......
And sorry, I didn't get the joke, I'm not Czech, but I drive a Czech car, and very good it is!

We have it, but if not does a rally yet, not appear to public:)
This is our Fiesta. You're right though, Tom Cave was driving. The car is build No.20 from M-Sport a week ago. We also have another R5. Both to be run as hire cars :)
Send me on private message the plate of the second one please, and chassis number:) Thanks
Any driver confirmed?Quote:

which champ ? ERC ?
Any more progress on the 208?
Will they be homologated by 1/1-2014 - I guess a lot of drivers are waiting news on this one.
Otherwise they will have to go with Ford for 2014.
Eivind brynhildsen is most certain waiting for the 208, he wan't use eighter Ford or autotec anymore, but dmack is onboard. Probably in team with another fast norwegian driver in similiar car. Lots of rumours in norway these days:)
Why did Autotek sells the Fiesta R5 that Brynildsen drove? Any more rumours? :DQuote:

Fiesta R5 on tarmac is also some kind of questionmark, we know that on gravel it's fast car, but not yet proven on tarmac.
So many teams/drivers are waiting with their decisions.
And how long after the 208 is the DS3 planned for Homologation?
Was that fo summer 2014?
It is competitive, Neuville drove it in Ypres as zero car, this month Donchev won Rally Sliven in Bulgaria.Quote:

The speed is OK, but there is a lot of work to set the suspensions correctly. The S2000 suspensions has a little advance in this point.Quote:

Fiesta are fast with good drivers? YES. The car doesn't do miracles :angryfire
It is fast enough on gravel with more complex suspension setup, but it is hard to make setup on asphalt?!? Sounds little boyscout to me.Quote:

Have you ever seen a stage like Semetín, Troják or Pindula from Barum rally? That's what Liposh is talking about and what is more complex for suspension than any gravel rally because for example on Troják You have everything from flat wide roads through tens of types of asphalt with gravel and mud on it up to to extremely bumpy macadam. That's where Fiesta R5 lacks in the moment but it was same with Fiesta S2000 initially. It took really long to find setup for it useful on Czech stages. With R5 it's even more complex due to the simple fact that all four suspension corners must be same.
I have actually, we have one such stage here in Rally Tvarditsa - Devina, here is Surilov onboard from this year ediition - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmg_dnU_sCM. I know it is hard to find perfect compromise in the suspension setup on such stages, but I was speaking in general for nice asphalt stages. BTW in this stage, Donchev with his first appearance with R5 did similar time with Iliev with Fabia on the second pass (which is supposed to be the worse case with all the durt on the road).Quote:

What is going to happen to Group N cars. Will it completly dissapear?
Evo 10 is the last one. And we don t know if subaru comes with a new one?
I really find it a pity that there is no other option then R5 car if you don t wanna pay 200.000 plus euro s for a car. Group N is going die i think.
The prices asked for renting an R5 is about 200 euro for a stage KM. Most rally s are about 200km or more. That s 40.000 euro for a rally. How on earth can you start rallying with a 4wd.
I heard about prices 150-160 Euro/km for Fiesta R5 from Czech teams. Anyway it's up to manufacturers if they are interested in 4WD production cars or not. Sadly they don't seem to be so.Quote:
