[Rally Power]

Suarez (208 Cup winner) will also be at MC in a 208 R5 (from Sainteloc). Probably he will do WRC2 instead of ERC.

Looks like Peugeot might have scrapped their ERC programme.

I am quite surprised as in ERC they should be able to fight for win (maybe not with Suarez), but in WRC2 they will be nobody...

Göögle translated. For some reasons Göögle didn’t translate the page but below is the copied text translated. Shit as usual.

“If Teemu Sunisesta will one day rally world champion, he will have to tell the same story of his youth, yet many times.

Suninen was witnessed school shootings in Jokela on 7 November 2007. Surmissa shooter died, including nine people. There were Suniselle familiar with the school nurse.

"The doors were locked and we did some homework consoles. Then came the police bear, whose rushed out of the shelter. I have never run the kilometers as fast as then, "remembers Suninen, which was the 7th grade.

Moreover, Suniselta had missed mobile phone at home, and the parents were upset when they were not allowed to contact his son. "The incident left a permanent mark in my mind" Suninen quietly.

Now, at age 21 Suninen is the next turning point in his life. Suninen is Mäkelänrinne sports in high school and the Armed Forces sports school visited a gifted athlete.

Suninen is pushed up to the age of six karting and playing floorball and football. Close by was that Suninen would have an interest in following the Finnish seats in F1.

F1 pattern crashed four years ago. Suninen belonged to Red Bull junior program kart motoring. Formula ykkösissäkin involved in the company closed the program, when the loss was thin.

Sunisen own career in karting ended the last competition series victory in Las Vegas. "The victory came too late. Ending the program Junior was the most difficult moment of a career and a big disappointment. "

But one door closes is opened up new opportunities. Suninen moved to drive rallycross, where he changed two years ago to rally.

Exchange favor, because Suninen won this season's World Series Decision Wales Rally WRC class 2.

That next step is to get to drive a full-blooded WRC1-class rally car, which the Finnish drives are currently the only Jari-Matti Latvala.

Next season Sun. not yet see the WRC one-car wheel. His first need to show their skills and expertise.

Sunisen is designed to run for at least seven WRC WRC 2 -autolla French Orecan racing stables, whose founder Hugues de Chaunac is a former AGS Formula 1 chief -tallin.

Well-known French F1 drivers Jean Alesi, Alain Prost and Jacques Laffite have won eleven o'clock in the garage due course championships in the French F3 series.

Tallin cars have performed well in the Le Mans 24 hour race and the Daytona.

Rally ORECA expanded its operations until this year, when it was founded by young talents in their own special program with Toyota. Kuljettajikseen it chose Sunisen and Frenchman Eric Camillin.

Both names have been present when the four-time world champion Tommi Mäkinen, led by Toyota returns to World Championship rallies in season 2017.

"I have to be ready before you get up there. Can not be bothered to go to tarnish the reputation as day-old chicks, "says Suninen that drove this year in a few rallies in the Finnish Toni Garde Master team Skoda.

In contrast to many seeking to the top rally driver Sunisen do not have to buy supporters. Sunisen supported by the Finnish Rally godfather Timo Jouhki, which has been Juha Kankkunen, Tommi Mäkinen, Mikko Hirvonen and Latvala in the background.”

M-Sport compelled to commit as "Manufacturer" ...
By Vincent • December 21, 2015 • Category: WRC
And what of Abu Dhabi World Rally Team?
The deadline for registration in the World Rally Championship has been postponed by one week. Moving from 19 to 26 December.
The cause? Obviously, a point of law raised by a team. To be precise, this is 4.1.1, which states that a World Rally Car is approved only if the manufacturer is committed to the World Rally Championship concerned.
So for the Teams - Team DMACK as such - engaging Fiesta RS WRC can score points in the World Championship, it is absolutely a commitment "Manufacturer" by M-Sport and Ford ...
However, the British team had to settle for a Team commitment for 2 cars, retaining the ability to not be present for example in China. Team A commitment costs € 15,000 (for 2 cars) instead of EUR 316,830 claimed for a commitment "Manufacturer".
The FIA ​​has left an additional period of weeks to Malcolm Wilson to meet the listing requirements as well as manufacturer and thus confirm the presence of the team on the calendar with 14 events 2 cars. Team A commitment does not impose this obligation.
Now the question will also arise logically about the Abu Dhabi World Rally Team. If the team does not commit as "Manufacturer", pledging to be present at all events, the team should not be able not score points in the championship with his DS3 WRC. It remains to see if this interests Khalid Al Qassimi to see the team be at the World Championship Constructors ...
