Thanks guys.
Jourdan Serderidis will drive the Fiesta R5 in Poland. He'll also do WRC Wales GB.
Are you sure?Quote:

I don't know if it was posted here or not, but I read that Estonian driver Martin Kangur announced his attendance on the Rally of Poland in September. As far as I know he will drive Ford Fiesta R5.
Guys, have you already arranged your homes? Because if not, Luca Betti has some new furniture for you :D
From the special stage to the small screen for Betti - News - ERC European Rally Championship - Eurosport
What do you think? Is he a better driver or an actor? ;)

Andi Aigner still plans to take the PC-title and compete in last 3 rounds (Croatia, Sanremo, Valais).

Will it be enough? I am afraid his absence on Barum should cost him the title...Quote:

If he wins the Produchtion Cup of all three Events it should be possible. It would help him a lot if Jakes could win PC at Barum and Kajto at Rajd Polski.Quote:

Maybe it's a little off topic, but I'd like to recommend you this very interesting and wise interview with Robert Kubica who describes his new life to the BBC:
BBC F1 2013: Robert Kubica on his new life - YouTube (4,5 minutes)
Any news about entrylist of Rajd Polski(held in two weeks) :confused:
Kopecky is entered.Quote:

Usual polish champs drivers will take part, also Solowow, Kubica. Kosciuszko planned to be, but now not sure after his problems after Germany. Holowczyc probably in Fiesta RRC, local Staniszewski could be in RRC also. Kangur with Fiesta R5 was supposed to come, but now after his big off in Kurzeme I have some doubts. Bouffier plans to come with something faster than his usual 208R2 (probably 207 S2000). This year Polski is also round of Lithuanian Championships so probably few fast drivers will come, at least I heard about Butvilas coming, Svedas not sure after he damaged the car completely during last round...Quote:

a rumor: it is in discussion to move the Sibiu rally from July in the end of February to be a snow event in 2014
Could be very interesting! Can You tell us how do You see that from Romanian point of view?
Bouffier, Breen and Ancian will be at San Remo next.
Great news, i hope that Sanremo will be the big event of the season :vader:
So, if Kopecky had secured the title, why have Skoda comitted to run him in Croatia? Seems like a waste of money.
Also, any chance that he will try to defend the title next year?
I don´t think he will try (or be allowed) to defend it - next year is development year of Fabia R5.
I think he will do only selected events like Jänner, Barum and Bohemia - as ist was originally planned for this year already.
Škoda confirmed Jan will start in Croatia. For next season I guess it's going to be like Wuff wrote but as we saw in this season - if they win what they touch than they might go for it again.Quote:

@FIAERC are actually denying Kopecky's title: https://twitter.com/FIAERC/status/379525061331283968
Do you remember Bouffier having priority FIA A thanks to winning just Monte 2011? From that time I do not trust anything from FIA. (Sad but true) So if Bouffier won´t be in Porec next Wednesday it will be sure.
Given the less than simple way in which the final points are calculated (best X scores from Y rallies etc etc) maybe it's not as simple and maybe we have to wait and see who turns up at Croatia Rally. I'm not sure if there's been any further news on this but Kopecky's words when interviewed after the final stage yesterday were "...hope to see you in Croatia"
Also on the British Eurosport coverage they mentioned that Kajetanowicz had secured the Polish title with that result - it would be odd if they missed the fact that Kopecky took the European title too, especially as they kept talking about how he had been doing the event in a very calm and measured way as he was close to securing it and didn't need to take any unnecessary risks.
I know many people will hope to see J.Kopecky and Skoda Team in Croatian Rally 2013.
