Roman Kresta confirmed 6 starts in Czech International Championship with Evo 9 (we have 9 events from which the best 6 are counted). His opening start will be Valasska rally on 28.-29.3. where Pavel Valousek should start too. No other starts were speciffied but I think that Kresta will start on Sumava, Cesky Krumlov, Bohemia, Barum and one another event.
Great news! :) :D
Frankly, I wouldn't say it's good news. Yes, I'm happy to see him on stages but You know... national competition is not what suits his skills. But anyway, it's better than nothing.
Compared with two previous seasons it's good news. Of course Roman's place is behind czech borders, but in actual situation it's nice to see him in national championship then sitting at home or doing some background job for other drivers.
Of course, I would also rather watch him doing full IRC or at least ERC with a proper car, but at least he can fight for the national title now.Quote:

Cuoq did a big mistake with the illegal reconnaissance and must be punished, sure,, but a complete year with impossibility to drive on rallies(in France and in WRC)is a lot and he will miss to many people(including myself)... :mark:
In the Belgian Rally magazine 'AutoNews', they said that Cuoq had illegal reconnaissance for all the rallies in the French asphalt championship 2007. My opinion is that this is a good conclusion for himself to do it the right way in the future.
Have they concluded that Cuoq lose his both titles in 2007? And what about his victories last year, will he lose them too? What about Patrick Rouillard and the other driver that had an illegal reconnaissance before the Var too?
The other driver I think it was Patrick Henry...Quote:

Autoklub.pl wrote that Cuoq and Rouillard (and their co-drivers) had lost their licences for 24 months (12 probationery) and 15 months (12 probationery). They wrote that Cuoq, Salanon and Rouillard had been excluded from 2007 championship and that new champion is Patric Henry.
Autoklub is right... :mark:
Punishment following an infringement, OK, normal, but here they prevent the entire 2008 championship of very good drivers needed by public... :(
In fact I've read an article about David Marty(Cuoq's codriver)who explained that on several events of the french tarmac championship they made 5 to 6 passages in reconnaissance, and that's not SO MUCH MORE as they are limited to 4 passages by the FFSA rules, and that most of the other crews had experience of having run already at least once on the entire of each rally !!! :mark:
Hardly to call that a serious cheating finally :rolleyes:
But a clear infringement of the reconnaissance rules though...
Cheating is cheating and rules are rules. If Cuoq is so good, then why did he cheat? I don't feel sorry for people like him...Quote:

Other drivers that are supposed to drive Porsches in Germany are Olaf Dobberkau, Anton Werner and Heinz Walter Schewe, but of course they are not drivers of the same class as Kahle.
Matthias Kahle and his Skoda in the good old days:

Wow interesting news.
Now the German championship will become fair,since he was the only one with a WRC.
Maybe the DRM will become interesting...it has been pretty weak for the last few years
Last year I saw Olaf Dobberkau in our Luzicke hory rallysprint (part of Laussitz pokal) and I was amazed. It was the only time I saw Porsche on rally myself. Especialy the sound was great. But as our regulations doesn't allow GT cars, this year there won't be probably any Porsche even there :(
Is he driving a 911 or a 996.
I think the 996 is newer(996 is the one with round lights,right?????)
Nono, You have a bit mess in it :)
911 is name like for example "Passat" but 996 is exact type (generation) like Passat "B6". The newest 911 is exactly 997 (Valejo). Olaf has 996.
Aha thanks.
So will Kahle drive the old or new model (996 or 997,right????)????
You are right but I don't know the answer :)
And what about Vallejo in spanish championship ?? Porsche GT again ?? :confused:
kahles car should be from last future world series 996. since werner is running 4th year with fully gt2 spec (lightweight, more power, sequent. gearbox) and dobberkau has already one season gt3 spec experience - its gonna be difficult for kahle to shine...Quote:
