Matvienko - I don't see any problems with St.Petersburg Government. And rally organization is not their task, they only says YES or NO for the decisions of rally organizers. It was clear from the very beginning that it is really impossible to make SSS at 19:00 in the center of the city, but the official site offers tickets to the SSS till today... Of course, it would be possible to make start ceremony at night (at 0:00) - we have white nights here, you can read without lamp, as Pushkin said :) And the other idea (among rallyfans) was to make SSS in St.Petersburg the last stage in Saturday evening.
But we have what we have. Anyway we'll see very interesting competition!
It's not off topic, I see MOTORhead on the list of bands! :DQuote:

I can tell you guys, that Tomasz Czopik also wanted to compete in Russia, but Rene Georges told him that he cannot prepare the Polo. And it was the last nail to his coffin. Czopik will drive Fiat Punto S2000 from now on.
Lada 112 Super 2000 will be at Rally Russia with Alexander Nikonenko. But, only as "zero" car
Andrey, that's better than nothing. I hope it means something for future...
Rebuilt to new/facelifted Priora model the Lada's S2000 car could be interesting advertisement in Europe ;-)
Gergely Szabo wrote some rows on his website about the preparations for the Russian race:
"The scene of the team's next adventure is Saint Petersburg, we set more aims in connection with this. The first one, that let us get out... it doesn't seem very simply. But we work on the project.
For us very surprising, that to get into Russia is hard. In the course of our travels we didn't experience like this until now. Necessary invitation letter, recipient declaration, the services guys accurate route plan, the name of the cross border, registration number, chassis number, the copy of the entry form, just mention only a couple of things. And not talking about the visa, which is not given with pleasure.
In Vybor, where the competiton is going on, all of the existing accomodation is in a firm's hand. Accomodation is given if we prove that we have valid entry, and we have to present the participant persons arrangement inside the team. After these, we managed to find an one-star hotel where -according to the news - various beetles wait for us.
The second aim, if got out, we would love to start the race together with the field. Which is not easy, because since the case of Turkey we haven't got any opinion from the FIA.
Gergely is training regularly, he is preparing for the competition. The expectation of the team leadership, that Gergely get in the top 10. We regard this travel as a real challenge. We send a picture if we get out!" - http://www.szabogergo.hu
My English is not perfect, sorry!
Thanks for the news Ciko!!
I really hope Szabo can show is potential in Russia!
Last weekend he won the Group N class on the Szombathely Rally. ;)Quote:
