Better than Lefebvre, I don't think so... About Charles Martin, he has had only very few chances so far to really show his potential, let's hope something will follow for him after this season. I think Martin is a really good driver (in French 208 cup he was quite equal in speed to Camilli but had a much more brutal way of driving, very impressive to see). For Ingram there's probably some more private funding behind it which makes this possible.Quote:

I'd like to see him in the BRC next year with support from Peugeot UK
With such rules, Mr Wilson will sell a lot of Fiesta R5 to BRC:)
I don't know about BRC regulation, can you briefly explain why with such rules will be easier for m-sport?thanksQuote:

BRC RGT: An exciting class that is currently lead by the Porsche and the awesome sound that comes with it.
BRC2: his is for the current FIA Grp N class and for ASN homologation extended Grp N cars over 2000cc.
BRC Junior: For drivers under 26 years of age in R2 homologated cars, competing for a prize fund to assist the following year‘s campaign.
BRC3: FIA R3 cars that has been dominated by Citroen‘s DS3 in the past but which also includes the Toyota GT86 and Renault Clio.
BRC4: For competitors with R2 cars that aren’t eligible for BRC Junior, this is the home for them.
BRC5: The starting step for homologated rallying and the FIA R1 class of cars.
National: Open to all cars with a current MSA Rally Car Log Book. The same events as the BRC but no recce on the gravel rounds.
I think the only 3 BRC1 cars confirmed so far are Fiestas. Not sure if anyone has a list. The BRC section of the forum is dead.Quote:

Readed something about polish car, but there are many Fiesta R5 at Poland :) so Kajto will use other car at Cyprus
Skoda R5 for Grzyb is ready. The first special stage in a new car - Saturday at 14:28 :)

They tested yesterday on stage Biskupice of Barum rally (not run this year).
I think people expecting 15-20 R5's in the BRC are going to be disappointed...... though I hope I'm wrong.Quote:

today as i was coming back from a trip i saw Krestas racing and H racing truck near Athens at a rest.They had Tarabus and Lukyanuk cars as and a mitsubishi evo recce car at a trailer.
One guy from the crew told me that there are high possibilities to see Lukyanuk at Acropolis.
They plan to reach Cyprus at Monday morning.
Hope you're wrong...BRC was one of the most prestigious national championships, and this move to 4wd machines seems to be the right step to give it back the lost notoriety! Besides the numerous Fiesta entries perhaps Pug, Citro and Skoda importers can get involved.Quote:

Alex Laffey's car - possible BRC entry for next year ?
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CPLd5aTXAAA02bH.jpg
Laffey have this car for some time :)
Yates is ex Kajto car.
I can think of a few cars eligable for the BRC, Johnny Greer has Citroen DS3 R5 ( he will be at the Cambrian Rally this year as well). Euan Thorburn has a Ford Fiesta S2000, David Bogie and Stephen Petch both have Ford Fiesta R5's.
Kinda happy that Johansson managed to put his 208 T16 back together after the massive crash in Estonia.Quote:

And WRC2 :)
Just watched some videos of the East Belgian Rally shakedown, and Cherain's DS3 R5 sounds very different, somewhere between the old and the WRC sound. Does anyone know if it's by accident, or is there some kind of a new part (exhaust, etc)?
Lappi testing in Spain

There's hardly anything wrong on the video but it feels that it's so perfect that it's boring... at least for me.
He sounded different when the rear bumper went off.Quote:

I'm impressed too, especially after I found photos of Bergkvist's car. It is even older than I thought, it comes from the nineties!Quote:

In previous events Johansson was able to match other R5 cars, maybe he got some problems in Uppsala.Quote:
