Driver of the whale "unknown'" :confused:
EDIT: by the way, thanks for the links DonJippo ;)

What team owns the whale ?? :confused:
Or perhaps Kim bought it ???
Little surprise for polish fans. Daniel Behalek will maybe start on Rajd Magurski with his Subaru Impreza STI.
Will the live-results of the Vanajanlinna Ralli be available on http://www.mantta.fi/yritykset/tenab/online.htm ??? :confused:
By the way, there is the pre-entrylist of the 2008 portuguese rallies championship on http://www.ralis.online.pt ;)
For now 6 S2000s(some are not confirmed yet though) :D
Ciko,since you are into the hungarian championship,do you know if Spitzmuller will drive a WRC next season?And why did he switch to an evo 9 after and during the Mescek?Probably financial problems?
Should be.Quote:

btw. no88 Rami is Kimi´s bigbrother
Thanks Pantealex ;)
Of course it was a financial decision. They couldn't afford a top wrc, so they decided to switch to group N, where they had success before.Quote:

By the way Teufel will there be S2000s on the 2008 hungarian rallies championship ??? :confused:
Good question! There is nothing sure about the championship, we don't have any final calendar either. But I guess there should be some s2000 cars, preparing for the 2009 season, when wrc cars might not start...Quote:

I think your calendar is published.look at www.duen.hu .I will really miss spectating your rallies.
MISTAKE:
The impreza WRC 01 is not the property of HRT. It is the property of Budai.
(correct me if Im wrong)
That's true, but the car was made in 2002. :)Quote:

GTA: Can You say how many cars do You have prepaired for oncomming season (I mean cars run by René Georges Rallysport itself)?

Fuster will have to drive a Ferrari 360 Modena in the Spanish Championship. He will not be with Fiat on IRC as planned.
Rumor appeared today in the journal "AS"
http://www.as.com/motor/articulo/ral...asdaimot_7/Tes
As far as I know, RGRS has two Polos S2000. On Janner Rally both were driven by austrian crews (Waldherr and Rosenberger).
I don't know if both cars are in the same specification (earlier this year they wern't). How are you doing thses days RGRS? Do You receive any help from VW or VW RSA? What is the future of the car?

Maybe you are right, lets wait for GTA to answer :)
Any picture or video from Vanajanlinna ralli? And some report from finish members? Good to see Puhakka back in business. Pinomaki made a clear one apparently. But Salo was the man according to the results.
Apparently Miguel Fuster denied he would run spanish championship in a Ferrari GT :confused:

BTW, is he Swedish now?
He got fed up fith Finnish federation after he was excluded from a championship rally because of technical reason, so he is now driving with Swedish license.Quote:

Hehe, good news from Belgium.
Larry Cols will drive the VW Polo S2000 in full Belgian Championship! This means he will drive the car he was hunting last year!
Looking forward to the East Belgian Rally: Loix and Cols confirmed! :D
http://www.turbomagazine.be/frames.asp
I hope Princen in his Mitsu Evo 8 Gr A (also full Belgian Championship) won't have it to easy in his car. In Jalhay, the last rally the Polo was against a Mitsu Gr A (it was even an Evo 9 then) it was very close between Loix and Cols, only half a second at the end!
Splendid news from Belgium indeed :up:
for all your info i left RGRS on Monday and will take on a new challenge in Super 2000 with another manufacturer.... more info to follow.. you can read on my website. Greetings.
and concerning the Polo S 2000, nothing much will change this year, and i do not see a possible entry in the IRC, only Belgium and Austria is sure.
Oh, what a shame. For you and for the team...Quote:
