Entry list has been published: http://www.rallye-sport.fr/liste-eng...e-france-2014/
A bit less than 100 entries. Impressive. And it's on all tarmac rounds that there's so many crews. A message for WRC ?
Simply a FANTASTIC entrylist !!! :cool:
bad WRC2
good WRC3 with Clio R3T (and others with R3T Clio)
good Delecour and Dumas with Porsche
Same phenomena could have been observed in IRC/ERC. Asphalt rounds have almost always more entries. The two most-popular events of this season Barum and Ypres are asphalt too.Quote:

Fingers crossed for Kevin Abbring! The car simply can't brake every single time he drives it. No! It can't, it can't, it can't....Quote:

:D brake? it sure can. Brake down is another thing.Quote:

Yeah, thank You. My English is not excellent. I thought something is wrong with that word, but now it's clear as blue sky.Quote:

Your English is fine - especially as many Brits don't know the difference between break and brake ;)Quote:

And are you sure 330mm discs and 6 pot calipers cost less?
Could be just human history...The big asphalt countries have all been densely settled for 2000 years, these other places still are not..
Dense settlement means its cost effective to pave roads.
And dense settlement means bigger pool of drivers top draw entries from.
Could be that simple.
Well, that's disappointing:

It would be nice entry.
Is Dumas competing though?
@Tuthill_Porsche just postet on Twitter:Quote:

Plus from the events website
FRANÇOIS DELECOUR WILL BE AT THE RALLY FRANCE-ALSACE!
Contrary to what has been spreading over the internet, François Delecour will be at the start of the Rally France-Alsace. The organizational crew has confirmed the participation of the Frenchman ..
Awesome! Hope for good onboards.
Providing FD gets further than he did on the Monte there might be ;). We noticed he spent a lot more time in the service park taking phone calls and looking French than he did at the wheel of the Fiesta.
This needs an explanation... :pQuote:

According to today's issue of Motorsport Monday Henning Solberg has withdrawn his entry for France. No reason is given.
Maybe he needs time to go party with his brother

What are the French organisers using to reduce corner cutting this year?
Take a look on the previous video. At 2:20 you can see redand white obstacle on the right corner (noramlly used in the traffic to direct traffic for ome temporary reasons)Quote:

When you watch them passing one after another, the Porshe (even driven carefully) totally overshadows the all R5s! Hope the car makes it to the end of the rally to watch more footage with it!Quote:
