Hopefully there will be some international events this year for the MG but nothing official yet
Yes... they presented a candidature to drive the BF Goodrich car...Quote:

Ok, thanks. So it isn't sure yet that one of these three will get the drive? When will it be decided. If I'm not wrong then the driver will be picked by Portuguese journalists?
To make matters worse, most of them are paying for their driving from their own pockets...Quote:

i think they will take Miguel Campos... is the driver who worked with Peugeot Portugal before and can still be fast on gravel and be a safe bet to score Peugeot Manufacturer points...Quote:

GTA, if you say eight cars, do you mean eight POLO S2000, or do you count also the S1600 of RGRS into this eight cars? Beside's Belgium (Casier & Auqieur) and Austria (Waldherr & Rosenberger), I think there will also a Polo S2000 running in Norway? What about the rest of them, where will they be running? What about the logistics, will RGRS be big enough to take care of all these programs? :confused:Quote:

Hey Guys... i know what we have and what we have ordered and will build... i am the Technical coordinator for the team.Quote:

Is that Casiers livery? :D
Aaaaawesome truck!!
Great Jack, it's good to see RGRS is still expanding and it is a very good looking servicetruck. Hopefully the results will follow, but i'm pretty sure that this is going to happen. ;)
Many people always said we had small service trucks.... well its history now... its even longer then the Kronos - Peugeot truck.... :) so now we can also compete on this level.. :)Quote:

Volkswagen is on the move in 2008, we also expect to have good results in Austria.
Hehe... :D :D
I hope you will be able to be faster than the peugeots, at least last year you were!! Did Fast Freddy made any comments to you or the team in the question Peugeot vs Punto vs Polo? Is it a secret? :)
its better you ask this question to Freddy when there is a Polo in front of him on the Podium..... :) then we will know.......Quote:

Yep, Freddy is a pro. He was also a lot involved in the development of the Toyota Corolla WRC I have understood. Hope Casier can make it, although I think Cols had a lot more chance (he's faster than Casier I think). I'd like to see Freddy winning too, so I hope one of those will make it, it would be hard to make a choice... :)
Freddy is a great driver and he surely made the Polo very fast, but i don't think that Casier is capable of reaching the same speed. The car was indeed set-up by Freddy and he was really "one" with the car.
Don't judge Casier too fast. He's a young guy still learning a lot. I will see him rallying in the Polo (I hope it) in the TAC next rally!
Nice to see how Renes is looking to the future with such intense activity and optimism after cols's accident. The team is growing and hope they can get the best results with all of his customers.
The polo is a really beautiful, and sounds like a truly car of rally...
GTA, Do you think that I can have any hopes to see a Polo in Rally Vinho Madeira 2008? ;)

Some UK S2000 news for you, dont know if its already been up in this part of the forum but im sure you'll correct me if it has ;) :P
Mark Higgins is seeded at number 1 for the Border Counties Rally (Scotland) in the MG S2000 Sport whilst Stuart Jones is using another MG in the Red Dragon Rally .. both this weekend I think.
Both Higgins and Jones are to use the same cars on the Pirelli International - first round of the BRC. They might be doing the whole series in them, although that might need confirming :)
What are the chances we can see MG outside UK?
And by the way, how are the things going with Corolla S2000, one of the two tuners in Europe is english RED (other is Grifone)?
