I still maintain that learning how to drive is more important than learning the rallies. The truly good drivers are able to be quick straight away on rallies that they do not know.

Nice promotion:
The first Estonian crew registered to at least 5 rounds in the ERC will get all their registration fees paid by @RallyEstonia! #ERC
I am not sure if this is working in these days...Quote:

The diameter of the turbo compressor restrictor may be revised by the FIA at any time without notice.
- Regional cars
- National cars
a) stays the same as it is.
So one more year the rrc will have advantage over the r5s,since they are not obligated to use smaller restrictor.
It is not sure if this will stay same...Quote:

I would keep it as it is. The advantage is not so big and RRC are so expensive that only very few would compete anyway. In any case ban for would be a pretty ugly thing against those who invested really big money in purchasing them.
There's some very recent YouTube footage of Lefebvre testing a 208 R5.
I don't recall hearing that his 2015 calendar would include anything other than DS3 R5 or WRC.
It also does not look like a Saintéloc test.
Anyone know a little more about Peugeot plans for 2015 yet?
Didn't Lefebvre win two ERC rounds with an R5 car?
Maybe he will do Janner as a Monte warm up?
He is winner JERC, he won some rounds with R5. We dont know how many. Janner is possible...Quote:

Yes, we know about it. But question was about his starts in ERC as a prize for winning ERC Junior.Quote:

Great news indeed, both items, as far as TV coverage is concerned; big brother WRC could learn something about this
I'm not sure that's a fair comment. These guys haven't said anything about Live TV and WRC already has that preview programme, except there's is half an hour long!Quote:

In WRC with WRC2. Most of the stuff is a long search on YouTube. Some countries have a small contract with WRC for 5 minutes with images already shown on WRC.com... It's known that WRC lacks a healthy TV contract and the the deal with Red Bull was a disaster. There are many FIA meetings spend with all manufacturers about this subject, it is a known problem.Quote:

Actually there is 15 registered drivers, I expect that for Janner we will have at least 20 pieces...Quote:

Well, it´s not specified how many and which rallies. We´ll see..
Looks like Breen and Charles Martin with Peugeot this year then, and Abbring to Skoda or WRC?
Lefebrve said he will also do Ypres in a 208.
