On the other hand..the shells on the Fiestas are running at £100 000 to replace.. :s Can get to a very expensive experience..

Really that much? I know only Škoda prices but bodyshell costs 24 thousand Euro for Fabia.

Apparently so.. Replacement of whole vehicle £275 000.

I'm providing the Racing Insurance on these vehicles and need to replace them with the correct values. S2000 parts very very expensive!!

ok, thanks. I know prices of all parts of Fabia, not the others.

I really like the design of the car. Hmm, "Peugeot Sport South Africa" - so is this a works team, a dealer team or wishful thinking on the decals...

The new Sasol Ford team of Mark Cronje and John Williams - interesting to see Markko Martin at the launch, wonder what that means?

I'm really loving this - SA rallying is alive and well again, even if these aren't all works teams, it's still great to see the interest in the championship.

Rallyworld.net should have the Time & Distance schedule for the Tour soon, probably during the next week. I have got it, although it wasn't complete at the time I had it. The first day is a loop of 2 stages run twice, so 4 in total, day 2 is 4 stages repeated twice. Add in the Friday night and Saturday afternoon runs around Arbour Crossing shopping centre and that totals 14 stages.

Thanks Bruce!

I got the Natal Guide so far.. but was hoping for a complete season guide..

No chance of that. Each event would only release stuff the week before the event or state it in their regulations, but nothing before that.
