I think Cave or Donnelly.
Fisher has never done anything impressive in the BRC, the WRC seems to suit him better for some reason.
Perhaps MacCrone if he can stay on the road?
should be interesting, I'd expect Donnelly to have the edge over Fisher and Cave to be close behind, but it definitely should be a good battle at the front :)
I think McCrone / Donnelly will be the main battle but don't discount any of Fisher, Cave or Price
What about Finnish Korhonen's chances :confused:
Well I saw him twice last year, Pirelli and Yorkshire. While he was in an R2 he was nowhere near Evans pace in the Fiesta R2 on the Pirelli. He has now had a sight of all the stages for this year's series so may be quicker but I can't say he made me take notice by his pace. Of course in a DS3 he may be quick but the other guys have a year more of experience in the DS3. No Cronin or Nikara means Donnelly is favourite and if Korhonen gets a podium I'll be surprised.Quote:

I'd be surprised if he's not at the front
As one our Finnish forum member told me the main problem for Korhonen with Fabia was too low sumpguard which meant the car had to be run on very high setup not to always hit ground. I would not be surprised at all if the car works bad on gravel because it was developed by a small team and we have no real gravel stages here...
It's interesting that here on our asphalt the same problems occur with Fiesta S2000. There the cause is too low asphalt settings for our bumpy roads. Making it higher don't help handling either.
BRC 2013 starts on Saturday - here's my video of Jukka Korhonen testing DS3 R3T run by Autosport Technology!

Overall Positions
Only times of drivers from Maccrone are coming on SS1 :s :confused:
News about Cave, Pryce and Donnelly :confused:
Their times are slowly coming :mark:
Who said Korhonen couldn't go for the win ??? :p :
Really over complicated results site......They should have a word with Vysledky
Korhonen leading by 13 sec from Fisher after SS3. Nobody else seems to near these two according to the published times.
SS4, 5 and 6 are running in times problems again :mark:
Osian Pryce in SS5 :confused:
Results coming in very slowly... But after SS4, Korhonen leads by 13,0 secs before Fisher. Third MacCrone, surprisingly good! On SS5 Pryce losing about six minutes...
Many more drivers in problems on that SS5(Fisher, MacCrone, Henry,...) :s
Most of the problems today were punctures. MacLeod rolled on SS1 in a fast left-hander.
Rally leader Korhonen's comments after the first day: "The day has gone really well. We had a good feeling already in the morning so it was nice to drive - maybe I could have opted for a harder tyre in the first loop but in the end everything was okay. We calmed down a bit in the afternoon when guys started to have punctures. Tomorrow we still have four technical stages to go so we can't take it too easy - we'll aim for a good performance there."
Korhonen, Fisher and McCrone above the rest.
Cave and Donnely overestimated.
Rokland no match for the other R2's.
Have even Sky Sports given up on broadcasting the BRC now? Didn't notice it in the listings over the weekend and there's definitely no replay in the week. Doesn't surprise me really, I won't bother watching again until 4WD cars are back and it's on a channel I have access to i.e. free-to-air
So, with respect, why ask?Quote:

If they have - despite a pay channel like Sky Sports being less than ideal for BRC - then I think things are only going to get worse for the BRC in terms of publicity. It has coverage in motorsport news each week but not much else...Quote:

Great result for Korhonen - proves how poorly designed the Fabia really was........
Jim Clark Rally Entries so far.
https://www.rallies.info/webentry/20...ies.php?type=u
Pirelli Rally is on Sky Sports 4 at 02.30am on Friday 17th , that's in just over 3 hours time.
Jim Clark starts tis evenin ;)
Jukka Korhonen leading Jim Clark Rally after Day1! :) Fastest times to all but one of today's stages. Very nice speed taking into consideration that this is Jukka's third tarmac rally in his career if I am not mistaken...
Second MacCrone 7,8 secs behind and third Fisher, although he is only 0,6 secs in front of Cave.
Garry Pearson leading the R2s, second by 8,2 secs is Jon Armstrong, who showed nice speed in Pirelli...
What happened to MacCrone and Taylor ??? :(
Whoops, I didn't notice that they drove so late yesterday evening, not all stages were driven when I wrote my message. But okay, no big changes except MacCrone, who had bad brake fade and dropped a lot of time.
1 stage to go. 0.1 sec between Korhonen and Cave...
Strange times throughout the day. Rain???
Korhonen wins Jim Clark Rally by 2,0 secs before Tom Cave! Excellent result! :up:
Onboard from SS2, very nice stage with few different road types :)
