[quote="MJW"]I thought Brynildsen owns the car and pays for on event support (when they turn up)[/QUOTE00]

No, as far as I know he rents the whole package. At first he rented from RGRS and when that fell apart he rented from JM Racing, but I might be wrong of course !

I think you are right, it was same car all the time, first rented from RGRS. That car was sold to JM Engineering where Brynildssen rented it again, at least that is what i know off.

Yes, it was only for test. Petr Stary has also normal (non-rally) job, so on some long tests he is replaced by Jan Mozny.

On those 3 days, the drivers ran sometimes with BF Goodrich, sometimes with Michelin, to use the stock available !

U sure about white is the sticker then they did alot of work and remember test car last year was fully white..

Also Michelin and BF Goorrich is the same I thought? Michelin wanted to remove the complete Michelin brand from rally and replace it by their "co"-brand BFgoodrich to make it more known to the public.. It suprises me that Michelen logos are on the cars maybe they'll bring the brand back again to rally? =)

Well, they are the sole suppliers in WRC next year...

I'm sure for white stickers, just look this picture:

You see well the green under the white sticker.

About BF Goodrich and Michelin, like in WRC next year, Michelin will be back as a manufacturer for motorsport.

It's true that Michelin and BF Goodrich is the same product, it was only a marketing question. For the tests, Michelin brought the new tyres for next year but they used also the old BF Goodrich.

Yup indeed that's right of the stickers, weird they did that work on their test car..

And thanks to bringing that up from Michelin back to rally :)

Stops the base paintwork from being damaged during testing. Also common for teams to stick plastic etc over the rear wheel flares to stop stones etc from damaging the paintwork on pre-event tests.

Test Wilks http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=agt6oUPxLDI

Bang bang is louder and more explosive and sounds now like the Fabia's :)

This almost sounds like a totally new engine in the Peugeot; it's very different from previously. Much more grunty and less tinny sounding. It is more like the Fabia now, although not quite as good :)

In fact the S2000s now seem to bang more than WRCars, even the new 1.6T ones.

Isn’t he doing the tests in a little bit wrong conditions?

But can’t wait for the start of Monte. Still over a month of painful waiting.

I agree with you, this test was on dry tarmac. The chances of having these kind of conditions on Monte will be very small i suppose. Alltough you never now ofcourse. :D

That was probably just a test so Wilks could get the hands on the new machinery. I think they will test later in proper conditions :) .

They have the same surname but they are not brothers :D . Carlos Magalhães left Peugeot Portugal and is rumoured to codrive Daniel Oliveira in the WRC with a Mini.

I doubt Oliveira to do better in the Mini than in the 207 this year though :mark:

About Rally Monte-Carlo, no rumour about what car Giandomenico Basso will drive there :confused:

WRC vs IRC

Just imagine if Sweden had a similar lineup as we see in MC - with so many drivers with a possibility to win.

Dreaming is still free !
