[WRC] News & rumours (part III)

Very bad story from Nicola Arena's Facebook profile.
Arena is the co-driver of Linari, the current leader of the production cup. Here is what he wrote.

Today we speak about Rally GB, last WRC round. Here are some incontrovertible facts:
Fact 1
The rally will be the last round of the Production Cup, open only to group N cars, that next year will be cancelled because of the poor number of followers.
Fact 2
Only three drivers can still win the Cup: Linari (my driver), Rendina (Italian as well) and Carchat (from Andorra).
Linari wins if he finishes the rally.
Rendina wins if he finishes in front of Carchat and we don't reach the finish line.
Carchat wins if he finishes in front of Rendina and we don't reach the finish line.
Fact 3
Last night our rally car was still on the trailer, someone broke the bonnet and poured sand into the engine making it unusable.
That's all with the facts. You can comment if you wish so.

What a stupid move. How will you enjoy your victory if you get it in this way? What's the purpose? Getting some money? They already have them... Sad story...

Armindo Araújo was victim of same type of saboutage in 2008 Sharqia Rally :( Stupid and criminal

unbelievable.
Always at safe parking before rallies.

either was sabotage or local chav lowlifes playing around.

It's stupid, I can't understand the reason. How can you feel proud of your achievement if you win like this?

The answer to this ugly act is listed in the facts - Who is interested?

where did they put the sand ? in the air intake ?

You would assume in the oil filler, air intake would be easy to clean out.

The fastest and easiest way is through the oil cap on the camshaft cover - 100% success guaranteed!

But that's not the point.

Just imagine the scandal if that happend to some of the works teams...

I still can't believe it.

Sick bastards!

Works teams only leave the cars with security in park ferme.
