Krzysztof Holowczyc won group N in Yakkima Rally in Russia last week. Next event for Holek is the 100 Acre Wood Rally in USA (again with Mitsubishi Lancer)
Does he consciously avoid big events or just lacks money?Quote:

Yes, he drives for fun. To Russia and USA he was invited by friends, that he made during his long rally career. In USA he will be co-driven by Maciej Wislawski, so it will be a comeback of the classic duo that was winning in ERC in the nineties.
"From Russia with love" ;)

Nothing new in our championship. We have big problems with sponsors and with Tv relation. Also this rally is very expensive, i spoken with people from many teams and they don't like firstly snow rally and secondly place of this rally (North of Poland, they prefer from what i know Rally Magurski). For example Bebenek will have only 12 winter tyres for pre-rally tests and rally...Quote:

I think that you know what we should see on Elmot Rally, many cars but only for one rally.
Another problem is with entry list in Polish Rally Second League (PZM). This is for guys who doesn't have big wallet and they trying to get a license, but organiser i think don't want them on rallies. Why? Because all drivers must have from this season HANS. I know, it will help if you had crash but it is also expensive for 18years old drivers withour big sponsors.
New livery for Kornicki:

That's true. HANS in Polish Trophy (or whatever it is called now) is one of the biggest stupidities of recent years. And there were many idiotic decisions in the past.Quote:

It was on 13 February 2004 that all of us received the sad news about Janus Kulig...
8 years after...RIP...

Live Results for Rajd Lotos here: On-line results by Andrzej Górski *
Kuchar won SSS1 (1.98 km) ahead of Chuchala and Bebenek.
Why SSS of yesterday finally cancelled :confused:
Anyway start SS2 now :cool:
No start for Jan Chmielewski ??? :confused:
Results are way too long to come :mark:
And gaps are already huge between the 3 first crews :s
No !!! Bebenek off and rear damaged on SS3(was 2nd overall after SS2)...lost more than 5 minutes :mad: ;(
This rally don't have any sense but this is my private opinion, first place is reserved for Kajto, now i know why Solowow resigned from driving in Poland.
Do you know if Koltun (Fiesta S2000) has problems, Bartek? I know it is his first time in a S2000, but I expected a bit more.
It's sad to see the incoming results :(
Kajetanowicz just had avoid mistakes, what the others didn't do, no ???? So what's the problem, that's rallying :confused:Quote:

Promising for the rest of season :cool:
Chmielewski rolled on SS5 !!! :(
No, he didn't had problems, he is driving from snowbank to snowbank, i don't know why, maybe he is not so good to drive S2000, i think he wasn't enough good to driving DS3 but ....Quote:

Maybe i'm wrong but i'm in 100% sure that Kajto is better than Kosciuszko, Lotos makes a big mistake.
Koltun retired from day one :mark:
Broke a wheel yesterday.
Koltun ripped off FR wheel on first run of shakedown, they repaired it before SSS. He is simply not fast driver, lost some time in snowbank today and retired after service (don't know why). Kajetanowicz is very good driver, very well prepared to this event and he drives in class of his own. Chuchala quite OK as for his experience, he is still learning and improving. Bebenek not that bad, only around 70kms before the rally in S2000 car, he lost lot of time on SS3, when he spun at high speed and then was forced to stop to clean snow from radiator as the engine started to overheat. Rest... in my opinion they are mostly unprepared to snow conditions, don't know how to set-up the car for such conditions, don't know how to drive fast on such surface, also new, difficult stages, snowy conditions are difficult for drivers used to drive the stages using their memory instead of pacenotes...
Chmielewski hit a tree and rip a wheel off...
