Ingram - Cruttenden retired with a broken shaft.
SS8 blocked after 7 first crews ??? Crash from Pryce ??? :confused:
Equal time Donnelly Nikara after SS9 :bounce:
According to the commentary Callum Black rolled. Both driver and co-driver got out okay but then the car caught fire and set light to the surrounding vegetation.Quote:

Nikara and Donnelly have same time after SS9 :)
Andrew Coleys twitter:
Nikara retired right in front of us on SS11
Noooo! Without knowing what happened but Nikara needs to learn to finish rallies for crying out loud.Quote:

Congrats to Mark Donnelly for winning the first round of the BRC. Unlucky Nikara, could have been very close at the top as he was a second or two faster on SS10.
Anyone knows what happened to Nikara?
And what about Korhonen on the last SS...
Retirements and Exclusions
this may help
I know, but it will not...Quote:

Now it seems that Nikara had a fire. What a shame!
Very unlucky for all the Flying Fins, I cannot wait for the TV footage though to see the battle of Nikara and Donnelly.
The man has always been bloody fast, its a disgrace that he hasn't had the opportunity to further his rally career!Quote:

Overall a really good event, great viewing again and some of the best marshals I've known. For all those who complained on various other forums (on here seemed to be nicely positive!) I can confirm their negativity was misplaced.
Yes, another BRC winner stuck in no man's land. Can't raise finance to further his career. Marty McCormack is another, and the same could be said for Kris Meeke.
By the way, we all know Keith is Irish, but what license is he driving on? On one of the Irish forums they're not happy that in the results a GBR flag is shown next to his name.
It turns out Steve Røkland also has been driving a R1 Fiesta, but M-Sport did not recieve the homologation papers, so he started in the R2 class.
As the Shootout winner he has been asked by M-Sport to use the R1 in BRC, and be part of the development of the car!
Cool!
Thanks, I was wondering why he was so slow.
DS3 of Cave arrived this morning.
So how many DS3 R3s at the Bulldog Rally by end march :confused:
There's also apparently the Sainteloc team which looks for renting one or several in BRC...
Young french driver Vincent Dubert on pre-entrylist Bulldog rally !!! :)
The Bulldog Rally - Welcome
Nice colour scheme. Shame the R3t Ds3 is the most boring looking and sounding rally car ever made, but if it does the job...
I thought the same before I saw it in action with great drivers on asphalt. On gravel it probably is but otherwise it's way from being boring ;)
When is seeded entrylist of Bulldog Rally published ??? :confused:
Some time over the coming weekend but entries do not finally close until Tuesday so there could be late additions.Quote:

Was a good decision to make it 2wd championship, so much contenders and most of them are all young prospects!
James Grint's new DS3 with livery :)
British Rally Debut for Grint
That reminds a little Harry Hunt's livery ;)
Don't know from where they get that taste for that green :p
It seems like we have a good ladder forming in this country with F1000 rallying producing some promising youngsters, that can then move on into the BARc with an R1/R2 car :)Quote:

It's maybe not the most powerfull cars, but I don't think it wouldn't be such tough competition with all cars being allowed.. and in the UK and Ireland u have so many different championship that have WRC's in it.
I totally agree. I have seen the motors Tv coverage: big fights, driven to the limit cars. It makes good competition.Quote:

Just go watch the BTRDA if you want fast cars... simple ;)
That's indeed what I meant :)Quote:
