Yeah i was up there and it was very fogy and lots of loose snow in the hill so it didn't happen unfortunetly. Not sure if it will be done later on.Quote:

Nothing new, it says that Solberg is hoping to get a works drive for next season, but he isn't talking about any brand. ;)Quote:

IRC Acores is a week before Talsi, no problem in my opinion ;)
It looks like the JORDAN Rally will be out in 2010. Anybody has confirmations about this rumours? I've just heared about RUSSIA and INDONESIA for logistic probs...

Sorry if my question is obvious, but I´m totally confused. Fia council has stated today that actual WRC cars and S2000b cars will be nominated to score manufacturer points at 2010 WRC. So, they´re absolutely different cars and their max speed, power, etc are different too...how could they compete? :confused: :confused:
Sometimes there where a rumour that WRC cars next year will be somehow downgraded to match the S2000.
They could let the WRC cars use the same restrictor as the s2000 ;) Wouldn't help the s2000 cars much thowQuote:

I was wondering the same, in that case if the S2000 is not developed to be faster than the current WRC yet, for 2010 Citroen and Ford will stick with their WRC car. I wonder if any other S2000 manufacturer even wants to join WRC for full season in 2010.Quote:

Seb would prob still win, but you'd have a better championship

Maybe this is the fia's cunning plan

That´s just the problem. Which would be the interest of a WRC when your S2000 car can´t be in the pace as WRcars? Again Skoda,Peugeot, Abarth, etc at IRC and Ford and Citroen at WRC next year? Anything else of the same story? :eek:Quote:

So, finally we know: it's a normal s2000 + aerokit for 2011/2012.
Clearly they want as many manufacturers to join as possible, since not a lot of them seems likely to develop a turbokit for their current s2000 cars. At least that means there will be plenty of manufacturers to choose from. And finally well get some great sounding cars back in the forrest. At gallis crest this year the only car I could hear way before the jump was the skoda.
Still, this might spell the end of Loeb. Will the urge to compete against a strong field overcome his obvious hatred for N/A 4x4's?
Me, I don't mind. The skoda sounds like nothing else, this side of a escort bda! It's the most glorious sounding rallycar in at least a decade. And I like the way they have to really attack all the time to make it go fast.
Good news, good news indeed!
So how many manufacturers makes s2000 cars today?
AbarthQuote:

Also Ford and Citroen is supposed to make S2000 cars for manufactor championship.
I suppose we won't see Peugeot 207 and Fabia in S2000Wrc as a registred manufactor but we may see a lot of privateers driving those cars.
Does anyone know if VW is interested in developing a S2000 car? I mean if Skoda is not interested VW should be interested in having somebody representing the VW Group in a manufactor team!
During the pre-rally press conference he said that he had no problem with S2000.... ;)Quote:

VW has S2000 and quite good one. It's Polo S2000 made by VW Sport RSA. It's further developed for tarmac in Belgium based team René Georges Rallysport and used in both national and international rallys. There is not much cars but more than MGs, Opels or Protons in the moment (and curently even more than Škoda).
On the other hand Lada and Dacia prototypes are dead.
Mirek, I could be mistaken, but I think that the Lada 110 Vk S2000 was not a prototype! The car raced, even if, it never get some good results!Quote:

Lada was only one prototype. It did just one Russian rally in late 2005 or 2006 (and IRC Rally Russia 07 as zero car) but never was homologated.
Toyota?

Here you have all S2000 cars made until now:

Another thing, Sebastien Loeb said that he would have no problemes to run with S2000. You can verify it here:
