That can't be Pieter Tsjoen, as his name would be written and not "XX-XX" :mark:

In Autonews its written that Kronos will participate with 5 cars . The 2 XX cars are the BF Goodrich driver and ... Tsjoen i hope .

I was talking with people from Kronos and they told me, that now are sure 4 cars for Ypres.

No Alen at all?

Probably a good idea for Abarth to drop Alen for Ypres. With the strong entry list there, I don't think he would have been able to make it into the points. I can see this happening on the other asphalt events too, probably with Rossetti or Scandola.

Yes, for sure, according to organisator, there will be seven different brands of S2000 cars. :eek: :) :p :

wwwbroe,

i don't know who told you this but me from the organisation side know this:

There is a 90% chance to have all 7 registered irc brands.

There is a 90% chance to have 6 different brands of S2000.

I don't think that anybody before of the organisers confirmed 7 S2000 brands..

Ok Frederik, then i must have misunderstood what was said as you are saying that it will be the seven brands that are registered in IRC :D

So we see, Proton is the only brand missing by now ;)

Teamboss of MEM confirmed in different interviews that Ypres would be there first rally IRC this year, although they didn't know the driver. McShea, Wilks or Bouffier would all be great I think...

Was my desire, Kalzoro.
But this year now only Madeira, I hope.

In the 90s I was a big fan of Belgian rallyes. I still have VHS tapes with highlights recorder from satellite TV. Condroz, Boucles de Spa, Ypres, Wallonie and other events. Patrick Snijers with the Bastos Escort RS, Paul Liatter with the Crack Escort, Bernard Munster with the clio Williams and the Maxi were the pilots of the time. Belgian still have the two rallye championship: the International and the National?

Hey Luis, we now have only one major championship, with a lot of regional rally's aside of the championship. Boucles de Spa doesn't excist anymore (at least not with modern cars, only historics), but for the rest we still have the rally's like Tielt, Bocholt, Wallonie, Ypres, Omloop van Vlaanderen, Haspengouw and Condroz. Hope you will enjoy Ypres next month, even if you cannot be here live. ;)

Thanks Walter. I confess that quite a long time ago I don´t follow many foreign championships.

Did you know that in some years Ypres were run at the same weekend of Azores Rallye :D

I don´t know if some of you remember but in the 90´s there was a TV channel called "Super-Channel". At that time I watched every friday the Go-International Motorsport programme and the resumes of belgian, netherlands and danish rallyes. The Ypres highlights were always one of my favourite. I remember very well Bruno Thiry with the Opel Astra some times and the huge battle between Freddy Loix and Verreydt with the Marlboro Celica´s one time. Kankkunen's participation I also remind and his early retired because he lost a wheel but I frankly no longer remember in what year.

Is Kopeky coming on his own intiative then, without factory support?
There's no Hanninen on the list (yet) but if my mind is till ok I remember that he had a contract of 6 rallies @ the start of the season...???
I still hope that they will come and Bouffier (or Wilks) in a Proton :s mokin:
