Ypres wasn't in pre-season plans. It's something extra they need extra funding from company leadership.
They announced after Portugal that they will be there with their two works cars, so it sounded that everyting is ready for Ypres.
So we'll see as Mirek says it's not....
Where did they announce their presence in Ypres? There was no official statement saying more than "maybe" in my opinion.
I think with the inscriptions of them, that it's 99 % sure is that they start, because they can still wait a few days to confirm the inscription and payment, and they already did it now so...
Hanninen isn't on the entry list yet, because something of the papers went wrong during the inscription and will now be solved and then he will be added to the list :)

Hi PLuto, planning on the same spot as last year to service,, nice and peaceful !! down the bottom :)
No chance to see Bruno Magalhaes there ??? :confused:
Lastly he and Peugeot Portugal announced they wanted to run more IRC events than only Vinho da Madeira :mark:

Wilks with Proton will be in Ypres too ;)

That's the man that I wanted to see in that Proton for Ypres. Great News, now I only hope that Skoda confirms it and that Stephenson comes to with his MG!
Haninnen now on the list!!
Looks like Elwis Chentre won't come to Ypres unfortunally. :(

No plans to get Miss Debackere into a Polo with a big belgian sponsor for Ypres ? She would do well I think !
A bit off topic, but what are the latest news about Larry Cols?
She tested Polo last year and didn't do very well according to the people who were there...Quote:

For Schammel . He do'nt have the full budget yet
Finaly Škoda officialy confirmed their presence in Ypres today.
Would be fantastic Debackere and Schammel adding their names to the S2000 entrants :)
Okay, how many candidates for victory do we have now? And how many underdogs? Incredible!!Quote:

Meeke against Wilks would be a great battle
for me to fight for the win will be
duval - loix - wilks - meeke
in this order!

Looks to be official now, Schammel in the 207 S2000 where Rautenback drove with it in the Acores !!
http://www.autonews-magazine.com/blognl/?p=4435
Loix,Vouillo,Duval,Kopecky,Meeke,Basso
That will be the fight in my opinion
