Article in the German Rallye Magazin about Duez and his Porsche:

He is hoping for nice snow, as it should be for a Monte, although he knows that he has better chances on dry roads.
He doesn't give a prediction, just wants to enjoy it. But if it is a success, he might do more rallies, e.g. Rallye Deutschland.

Edit: there is also a photo gallery from the shakedown in Belgium: http://www.rallye-magazin.de/rallyes/wm ... index.html

I'm surprised that's the old 996.

I found this article (in Swedish) which suggest that Richard Tuthill is going to start Rally Sweden in a Porsche 997 GT3. Now how cool would that be? :-)

Is that possible? I mean which tyres is he going to use on those big rims? Stock winter ones? There are no small gravel brakes for GTs so You can not put small rims on...

Good question... will be interesting to see. In any case he is listed in the latest official entry list as #80:

It's quite crazy idea to be honest but on the other hand few years back Matthias Kahle managed to do a gravel event in a Porsche 911 GT3 (Lausitz Rally in Germany). He drove on stock winter tyres and it wasn't that slow...

Mirek, you probably thinks Lausitz Rallye 2008

I remember Tuthill entered with a Porsche the Swedish Rally... 2010? I think it was the first year of the R-GT regulations, but I could be mistaking. He didn't start back then though. I hope this time he'll do it
