Very interesting indeed! For anyone, pics are very much welcome.

Juha's done the "National" event tagged onto the back of what was the El Corte Ingles before in a Corolla WRC backed by Fortuna ciggies so guess this is a similar deal.They've backed Monzon for years and he was out in a 206WRC last year.

It's interesting, that Juha, a multiple times World Rally Champion, has driven El Corte Ingles Rally so many times and never won it...

The entry list contains many famous names from Slovakian, Czech and Polish championships, as well as drivers from ERC and even WRC. The only bad thing is the weather. I traveled more than 500 km to see this rally last year and when I arrived... it was raining for three days! :/

Anyway, here is the official website:

I'm sorry to disappoint you, but according to http://www.autoklub.pl/15165,news.ht...54511c7deb9def Baranauskas didn't come to Slovakia. Also Cserhalmi and Valousek are absent.

It's official now! :D

Wevers Sport has bought 4 Fabia WRC's from Skoda Motorsport.
He's going to drive one in the Dutch Championship, Kuipers also. They switch from the Corolla to Fabia.

What's going to happen with the other 2 Fabia's is unknown yet.

Great news of course :up:

Bit surprising too, considering Wevers managed to get a postponing on the Corolla's homologation till the end of 2008. Anyway, looking forward to see them in action. Hope at least one of the two Corolla's will stay in the Dutch championship, no matter what driver :)

Next weekend is the 2nd round of the Greek Rally Championship....the entry is pretty good with 133 entrants...but since the event is 1 day tarmac 1 day gravel some crews are going to participate only on tarmac or only on gravel.

here is the entry (need greek fonts)
