Rally de Portugal 2008

[Sami]

Entries period is closed at the end of this week but the entries are published not until 23rd of this month within the publication of the Rally Guide.

Still it's already known that the entries will be excellent, I really look forward to see Panizzi, Duval, Magalhaes, Fontes and Auriol in action and the first real comparison between S2000 and group N as Araujo, Sousa, Aigner and Hänninen are there to show the real performance of the group N cars.

Now it is official. Armindo Araújo are ready to contest the Rally of Portugal.

My apolagies but I can´t do the maps. My google earth is so slow, I think even if I stay in front of my computer all day, I will not be able to do the maps. Just moments ago I was doing the first stage, but suddenly some stupid error deleted all my work. Sorry

I will try to do it in another computer until the beginning of May, because after that I think that you will be in Portugal...

Despite I´m not able to draw the stage maps, I can help all the people that don´t know the rally. Only two stages remain the same as in 2007.

Thanks for your efforts anyway Sardalense. Do you have the stagemaps as pdf files, then maybe it is possible to mail them to me. I mean that there is only an overvieuw map of the stages on the official website. I have the stages of the last three years on google earth, are there any that remain the same or is everything changed? Sorry to ask you all these questions but i don't have any experience in this part of Portugal. I visited rally Portugal six times but allways around Porto site. Thank you.

It seems that Dani Sola will start in Portugal despite the initial program skipped Portugal. Nice to have another driver capable of winning.

From Dani's website:
"Team Abarth Difisa Gapsa Team has its next appointment at the legendary Rally of Portugal, which will host the next 8, 9 and May 10 in the region of Algarve. By then Abarth will have worked hard with his Superpunto because it has been demonstrated in Istanbul that Peugeot were a little above the Italians on earth. Dani Solà, pending these improvements will be ready for this second event of its agenda on IRC very hard in a tournament in Portugal will have more candidates to victory than ever. "

Entries period is closed allready, is it really so that nobody is able to reveal any news of entries, Travaglia? Augoyard? others?
