No katjo his co driver conformed me this evening
Delecour in an Alfa must be a mistake; someone getting the list mixed with historical and editing the wrong list, surely?
Pity no Kajto but Bouffier is a bonus. Consani maybe?
ERC topclass wise, this is a quite weak list with only 1 of the top 5 at the start, also Kajto will be in trouble if he miss Ypres plus Estonia, his ambitions to get the title won't be easy to reach then.
Also for the moment only Duquesne has registered for ERC, I expect Casier, Cherain and Princen to register also the others will sadly run after the BRC Juniors..
This year was always going to be a write-off championship-wise, with only a single works car for the duration, but we can't deny that there have been some great individual events (albeit with poor coverage), and Ypres has potential to be another, with a lot of unknown factors this year.Quote:

List has been updated this morning and is up to 79, mainly adding a few juniors including Ingram.
Today was a local rally with Griebel, Bergkvist and Ingram starting. Also Vanneste and Duquesne with their Fiesta R5s were there. Vanneste won, 27s in front of Duquesne.
Griebel and Bergkvist had a great battle whole rally long. Bergkvist one with 3s advantage on Griebel (who competed there last year too). Only Vanneste, Duquesne and an Evo9 were faster than the Adams. Ingram was a bit disappointing, finished almost 2min behind the adams and couldn't match their times all day.

Katjo = Kajetan Kajetanowicz ???Quote:

Not likely if he's not going to Ypres now, is it. Eurosport should be begging/paying him to go to keep the championship alive.
Kajto is his nickname. It's widely used in Poland and even his official website is kajto.pl ;)
Great little cars and drivers!Quote:

Loix' livery nicer than the works Skodas IMO.
Seeded entry list is available here - http://www.autosport.cz/clanek.php?cl=17306
is there a entry list for historical cars on Ypres?
There's two. Scroll down on http://www.ypreshistoricrally.be
Thanks for the seeded list. Noob question: what's the difference between FIA and ERC on the list?
ERC =crews registered to ERC
FIA = FIA priority (it's given for example for results in FIA championships in last year, to all works WRC crews etc.)
Thanks
Iam counting the days to go.
Will Pedro on Lancia really comes?
Yes it would be his third time in Ypres with Lancia, 2 times with 037 now with the Delta.Quote:

Loix gunning for number 10
Fast Freddy has already appeared nine times on the podium’s top tread, of which four times in the Skoda colours. Loix, presently leader in the Belgian championship, played an important role in the development of the Czech R5. It goes without saying that the favourite will go straight into the attack as from the first meters. Hopefully a second Fabia R5 will appear at the start..
Kevin Abbring vs. Stéphane Lefebvre
Pieter Tsjoen, Ypres winner in 2001 and with 8 Belgian titles the most successful rally driver in the Belgian championship, is also a strong contender for a second victory in his home rally. This time around as co-driver in the DS 3 R5, teamed up with Kevin Abbring, the Hyundai driver in the World Rally Championship. Kevin Abbring still has an account to settle with Lady Luck in Ypres, seeing last year he was forced to retire with mechanical problems when he was well in the lead.
In the Rallye de Wallonie Pieter Tsjoen read the pace notes for Stéphane Lefebvre, the Junior World Champion. This time around the young Frenchman will be a rival, as Lefebvre will be at the start with an official Peugeot 208 T16, the weapon with which Abbring performed so brilliantly last year. A thrilling game of musical chairs, especially as his co-driver, Stéphane Prévot, had during the previous round of the BRC read the notes for Vincent Verschueren, who will be at the start in Ypres with his trusty DS 3 R5...
Apart from Stéphane Lefebvre, Peugeot still has a few contenders up their sleeve, with obviously in the first place Craig Breen, the present leader in the European championship, but also Kris Princen, who managed to beat Freddy Loix earlier this season in the Belgian championship and who won the Ypres classic in 2005. We are also delighted to welcome Bruno Magalhaes, who with the 208 T16 will once again have a top car with which to play up front.
Breen, Princen, Cherain, Casier...
DS not only has Abbring as a contender at the start, but definitely also Cédric Cherain, who last year drove a strong rally and was rewarded with a second place, and who following a bloodcurdling duel with Freddy Loix won the Rallye de Wallonie with his DS 3 R5. But it is not by pure chance that Vincent Verschueren became Belgian S2000 champion twice. To win in Ypres would be a great first for the DS make (logical for a new make), but also for Citroën.
The last victory claimed by Ford, a fixed value in the international rally sport, dates back to... 1994, when Patrick Snijers enjoyed his glory years. Last year, Bernd Casier following his off road on the first special stage, registered some top times that conjecture the very best for this season. Let us not forget that Bernd Casier has on numerous occasions proved to be a potential winner in Ypres. For Ypres Didier Duquesne has invested in a new Fiesta R5, while Davy Vanneste, on home ground, is also a contender for a Top 5 finish.
The R5 cars are present in full strength, but the extremely reliable Super 2000 brigade are not chanceless, just as the two Ford Fiesta RRC manned by the Irish brothers Sam and Josh Moffett. In a nutshell once again it will be a battle down to several tenths of a second in the Kenotek Ypres Rally.
^^ I suppose the second Fabia R5 they talked about will not happen :(
Unfortunately it will be delivered only several weeks after Ypres.
Yes indeed Fabia R5's of Simpson and Kobus their delivery date is too late..Quote:

Will Abbring and Bouffier be part of the qualifying stage if neither are registered for ERC points? I assume they must be.
I wonder what is the point of taking videos of those end-turns...
