It seems that formar cycle worldchampion Paolo Bettini is planning to start in Ypres this year with Fiat Punto S2000. His codriver would be Balerini, the actual coach of the Italian national cyclesquad. ;)

Bruno Thiry would drive a 207 RC R3T as "0" car at Ypres this year :confused:
Yes Tom, that appears to be the truth. Peugeot is also the new carsupplier for Ypres rally and Bruno would drive "0"car in a Peugeot 207RC ;)Quote:

I thought Thiry was Citroën-Sport driver since last year :mark:
Citroen Sport and Peugeot Sport made a fusion, remember?
wwbroe had some great news for us on another forum. RGRS confirmed Francois Duval will start in a Skoda S2000 in Ypres.
Woohoo :)Quote:

He will answer that for himself I hope... :)
Anyway, would be great news.
Potential Winners:
Loix, Duval, Basso, Vouilloz, Meeke, ...
Kopecky...
Don't think Meeke will be so fast in Belgium
I am the source Mirek :D I had a talk with Rene George over here in Açores, and he comfirmed me that he is taking Skoda home and Duval will drive it in Ypres. :)Quote:

I guess he means back home to Belgium ;)
There would be already eleven 207 S2000s on entrylist...great news for me :p :
Where did you read that?
http://ypresrally.com/index.php?opti...&id=39&lang=en
So far.. two.
There was an official press release a bit ago with that news and its true. It's simple for the organisation to know how much. There are hotels booked for 11 pug S2000'sQuote:

All cars and trucks are on boat since this night, they have left Açores allready and will be in Lisbon on tuesday. ;)Quote:

Meeke, Loix, Vouilloz, Fontana, Lavio, BF Goodrich (Debackere?), Betti, Solowow with Peugeot
Basso, Alen, Bettini (..) with Fiat
Duval, Kopecky, Haninen with Skoda
Maurin, Waldner with VW
MacHale with Opel?
Stephenson with MG?
Wilks with Proton?
That's 19.. I can hardly wait to see the competition in Ypres this year. With probably the best startfield of the season so far. Anyone could win it, but I'd tip Duval. :p
Confirmed today par autonews magazine ! Yes !!!!!

:cool:
Looking good!
Are Abarth going to send Alen to Ypres and not Rossetti?
For sure Rossetti wont be there, in the same date there is Rally San Marino CIR :(Quote:

Great news indeed, but i already expected them to be in Ypres after last weekend :DQuote:

By the way: what car for Renato Travaglia at Ypres ??? :confused:
He will try another make after Fiat, Peugeot and Skoda ???? :laugh:
Yes, he can. But dont forget, that this is professional team, which has his own rules. At the beginning of the season they have made a plan of starts, which was agreed from their chiefs and they gave money to team. If they want to change their plans, it isnt so easy from many circumstances.Quote:
