If it's meant to be events of the Spanish asphalt championship than it must be Rally Sierra Morena and Rally Comunidad de Madrid.
Sierra Morena (October 27-28th) & Madrid (November 24-25th). If it becomes true the car will be the Fabia S2000 that Paddon used in the SWRC.
Thanks. :)

as far as i get this right kubica wants to do a whole season in some championchip. any spaniards around to translate this?
thanks :D sounds good...
So.. Which car will he drive next time? ;)
Sordo deserves a drive, either with Ford or VW
Lappi's car will be ASM-Motorsport's Skoda Fabia S2000. Is that the same?Quote:

Not bad, not bad at all. What are his future plans?Quote:

Will be that one I think because the team is based in Spain. And that's indeed Paddon's previous tuner.Quote:

Yes, that's it. Now it's official. Hankook tyres and sponsored by Holiday Inn.Quote:

Also Mahonen is new wrc boss but didn't see anything good that he did last two years.
Hopefully they don't screw Lappi round like they did to Paddon.Quote:

That sounds logical. 35 was car of Didier Vanwijnsberghe but he sold it to Wevers some time a go.
Lappi has 11 starts in rallies this year and 9 wins. Also one Finnish rallysprint start last winter which he won.
I am sure he will not start in IRC next year :)Quote:

Also Not being sent properly trained technicians from ASM Motorsport to rally NZ. Also wrong suspension I believe as shown in the Rally NZ domain stage, not sure the proper details on the last bit though.Quote:

Le gardien Peugeot Sport : Vatanen vs Peugeot 208 R5 - YouTube
I hope Peugeot come back to the WRC now...
Was thinking the same thing when I saw it, most of the cars they showed (205's, 206) were top WRC level cars, only the 207 S2000 was in a lower class. Now with the R5 category being so close to the WRC it would be great if they decided to take it just one step further. But it seems unlikely that we will again have a championship with both Citroen and Peugeot as they are basically the same company.Quote:

so Loeb's replacement in 2013 has to settle for playing not second, but third fiddle, and has to forget every championship hope.
Or he could be a third car for those events, but nominated for Manuf points?Quote:

They did, Ford too. I believe it was VW that brought this up, but no one agreed.Quote:

Neuville stays in "junior" car - no.2 will be someone else. Sordo, Petter, Meeke?
I believe Sebastian will be no.4 in the team and not taking the no.2 position when he races. It will be interesting though to see who will be given priority with team orders, e.g. if he will be allowed to take win in France next year if the rest of the team (Mikko and/or No.2) is going for Drivers Championship.
Yes, but i noticed that it was prob 9 rallys for Neuville, add 4-5 for Loeb and you get a season.Quote:

I don't think so. I can't imagine they would not send Neuville on asphalt rounds. They have PH Sport so they can run more cars if needed.
