34/Rally Del Salento-10.place copilot L.Volpi (IT)-first name: Luigi Volpi

Hello Janusz,

Are you sure about Luigi? I have as co-driver for Pezzuto in 1997 and for Pisacane in 1998 (15th overall) Luca Volpi - but I cannot find my source for that first name.

Hello Janusz,

What can I say now. I WAS sure but at the moment I don't remember the source. I have to think and check...
Regards
Janusz

On Pisacane's website it says it was Luca Volpi who co-drove him in 1998 (Ivan Pisacane Official Web Site). I think when entering the 1997 result in the database I made the assumption that L. Volpi in 1997 would be the same co-driver as L. Volpi in 1998, but it might just as well be a Luigi Volpi, even though I cannot find another mention of him in my archives...

A request - mainly to keep this thread from dying:

Does anyone have the official result (including retirements) of Rally Ireland 2006 (10-12 March), and a full list of retirements for Rally Ireland 2005 (15-16 October)? I must have had the result for 2006 when adding the leading results to RallyBase, but cannot find it anywhere in my archive...

[kabouter]

Forget my previous request, I finally found the results for 2005 and 2006 on my PC - I'll include them in full in RallyBase shortly.

Hello to you all!

I am new to this great forum. I am from Sweden, and a hobby of mine is to try to research about Volvo´s in motorsport. I hope someone can help me with some things, and i also hope i can help you with somethings regarding Swedish rallies. Before this post i have read both part 2 and part 3 in the Rallying Rally History thread.

I am searching for cars, registrationnumbers, startnumber, driver and co driver.

If you have more about the Volvo 142 in Finland from 1973 and on in time, please let me know. I have a number of Swedish rallies from 1968 to 2011. Most result and cars. And also the result of Rally Sweden ( Midnattssolsrallyt, Swedish Rally to the Midnightsun) from 1950 to 1999.

Welcome to the forum! You've been busy, if you've been reading parts 2 and 3 of this thread...

I'm afraid I can't help you with these Finnish results - I only have details for 1000 Lakes and Arctic, but maybe someone else is able to help you. How detailed are your Swedish Rally results? Do you have all finishers with final times for those years?

By the way, the Rally Ireland 2005 & 2006 results are now online: RallyBase
What I am not sure of is the co-driver of Gary Cooney (car #52) in 2006. Cooney shows up in the online results of the first stages of the rally, but does not appear on day 2 and is not listed in the retirement list in the official results (where also co-drivers are given). Does anyone know what happened to Cooney (was he excluded) and whether he was co-driven by Kieran Carroll or somebody else?

Thank you @kabouter. It took a while but it was worth it!

Well, i have the top three in almost every Swedish National rally in those years. The Swedish Rally i have almost every one that finnished. But sadly only times for the National rallys. In the South Swedish Rally i have all that finnished from 1976 to 2004.

The info about the Volvos in the Arctic rallie would be great!!
