Sorry for no formating. I did it but on forum it appears without :( I can't edit the post. In Opera nothing happens when I click on edit and in Firefox a completely broken webpage opens where I caan't change anything because it is just one big mess. Probably something wrong with the forum. I don't know.
So, another victory for Fiesta R5 in Sliven. I attended the Rally yesterday and had some nice time.Looks like Donchev is getting more familiar with the car since last time I saw him. It was nice fight in the morning between him and Iliev with Fabia S2000. In the second loop though Donchev began to build confidence and advantage. On SS08 Stara Reka 02 both seemed pretty much on the limit as you see of the video below, but Donchev was taking 0.5 sec/km over Iliev. Looks like today was protocol for both of them, but not for Salyuk who came here for victory, but made some mistake in SS04 Stara Reka 1, had puncture and lost over 2 minutes. Today managed to claim 3rd place. The stages above Sliven are very demanding, especially Stara Reka & Bulgarka and probably Salyuk will manage to do better next time when already have some knowledge for them, if he comes.Kara was driving nicely on the asphalt stages, but probably it's the car which lets him down mostly. Shame for the just another technical problem for Surilov - he was again impressive driving GrN Evo IX.Here are some shots I made on Stara Reka 1&2:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZN8vP3p_PA
All-of-a-sudden Donchev has been disqualified of Sliven 2013 due to non-homologated brake coolers, Iliev has been promoted to 1st place, Salyuk 2nd, Kara 3rd. The team has right to appeal.
Last week-end my brother and me we've been to rally Sliven - a round of Bulgarian rally championship and a round of European rally cup. We've managed to watch 8 of 13 ss. I was hoping that Saluik will have the pace to fight for the 1-st place with Krum Donchev and Dimitar Iliev, so we can watch a three way battle but he has some problems with the start procedure at ss2 and lost about 30 sec. and after that pn ss4 he has a spin and a puncture so the battle was over for him early. Krum Donchev took the win with his new Fiesta R5 but was disqualified after the final scrutineering for non- homologated brake coolers. Something I found very strange because I doubt that his mechanics can invent something better than M- sport guys for a such short period.
Again people were standing at dangerous places. On the "famous" spot the Tree some of them were sitting on chairs placed on the road and when Anton Titov with DS3 R3 missed the shicane they were pretty lucky. Looks like the problem with spectators at dangerous places exists in all countries!
I will upload a short video later on!
Entries for the Hellendoorn Rally closed last night, and it looks like the biggest rally in the Netherlands still is exactly that.
No less than 10 WRC cars are entered, including 1 of which we don't know the driver yet because the organizers call him Mister X. Supposedly it is someone who has scored WRC points in the past, so rumours are it will be the comeback of Mark van Eldik since he is the only Dutch driver together with Dennis Kuipers and Peter van Merksteijn to ever score WRC points.
The other 9 WRC entries are:
Dennis Kuipers - Fiesta WRC
Peter van Merksteijn - DS3 WRC
Bernhard ten Brinke - Fiesta WRC
Bob de Jong - Lancer WRC
Jeroen Swaanen - C4 WRC
Erik van Loon - Focus WRC
Edwin Schilt - Impreza S14 WRC
Bas van Kamperdijk - Fiesta WRC
Peter Versluis - Fiesta WRC
Also Patrick Snijers is entered with a BMW.
All in all 5 new generation WRC's, including a DS3 for the first time. Looks to become a great event in 2 weeks time.
