there where no more gearboxproblems !!
only small problems with throttle, but nothing serious!
I just came back from the test, check http://www.rally.hu , my pics should be online during the evening!!
i must say i love that car, and s2000 generally! the sound is just amazing and the speed is (especially on fast flowing stages, like this test track from today) also really impressive!

Thanks. Very artistic pics.
You are obviously a professional photographer.
As I expected, this car looks great when moving with this awesome livery.
I hope the Pirelli tyres will not be outperformed by the Michelin ones on tarmac this year.
thank you!Quote:

i see in test´s also the possibility to try some things (long shutter times, unusual angels...) wich you can not try in the races when all pics should be sharp and "nice"!
about the tires, I hope so too, but as it seems pirelli is very motivated, there where two technicans from pirelli italy present at the test!

Big disappointment !!!! Freddy Loix won't run Rally de Wallonie(Belgium)this week-end because VW South-Africa sent a wrong part to René George(distributor for Europe of the Polo S2000) !!! :s
Look at this post at other forum...
http://rckatxalforo.mi-web.us/viewtopic.php?t=138
Is there only 1 Polo S2000 - 3 different drivers in different countries seem to be using the same car.
Well, there is a second now. But; because the parts are too late, the second wasn't finnished...Quote:

Do rywalizacji nie przystąpili też bracia Bębenek. Zatem jeszcze przed startem ubyło dwóch kandydatów do zwycięstwa w rajdzie.

Always times in the top 10(among them twice the 4th best times !!) with their 207 S2000 they climbed back from 18th(after puncture yesterday) to 9th as final overall position :bounce:
By the way, victory for Miguel Fuster in the Grande Punto S2000(Rally Canarias) and 6th position overall in Poland(Rajd Elmot) for Michal Solowow(Grande Punto S2000) ;)
Next week, back in Madeira(Portugal) at the Rali de Calheta with Vitor Sà ;( Grande Punto S2000) and in Italy for the Rally Targa Florio with Giandomenico Basso(Grande Punto S2000), Luca Rossetti(207 S2000)and Alessandro Perico(207 S2000) :)

More Fiat news from last weekend: Giuseppe Grossi retired in the Coppa Liburna and Pieter Tsjoen was 5th in de Rallye de Wallonie.
As I wrote in the S2000 official thread on the WRC forum, swedish 207 S2000 is at last in order to work, and Jimmy Joge won the Lille Mats Rallysprint with it last week-end !! :D
Any videos from the Hungarian Rally last weekend?
Look at the "National rally championship news" topic! ;)Quote:
