Rally2 (ex-R5) News

[Essaj]

Veiby senior says in an interview that son has not liked the C3 R5 and next season he will probably drive I20 R5.

(personally I don't think OC has shown he has potential to go to the top and I doubt he ever will, he's basically the new Matt Wilson)

That's one way to burn bridges, get kicked out of Skoda, blame Citroen for bad results. Now more then likely to fail on Hyundai aswell and OC can say good bye to his WRC dream unless dad Veiby is willing to pay for M-Sport.

Very bad debut of Polo R5 in France. Bertrand Pierrat couldn't even keep the pace of some R2 cars, lost almost 4 minutes after 4 stages and, even though he was so slow, he managed to go off the road and crash his new car on SS6.
Gregoire Munster, who was driving Skoda Fabia R5 from the garage of his father, won the rally.

Not really representative of anything though. Looking at the videos there was a mixture of variably dry tarmac and snow/ice covered stages, with them all seeming to be on unstudded tyres.

And he is a 63 year old gentleman driver

More news (by Mr. Holmes) of the Iriz R5 on the last Autosport.pt issue: homologation still likely to happen on 1st January, but the first rally will only be in May (Whangarei, APRC 2nd round); it uses the Evo X engine block (reduced to 1600cc), Xtrac transmission and Reiger suspension; no plans to enter WRC2 Pro next season.

That was a great result for Gregoire on what I think was his first rally in an 4WD car.

Nice onboard of Breen’s first outing (and win) on a C3 R5; it seems he had a good time: lots of waving to spectators and no stress on Tamara’s small mistakes. Video by Ferrario: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=flXv...nxwy_znJBBWgqk

Not even Matt Wilson, I'd say PG Andersson...

[Barreis]

but PG was JWRC champ. Wilson was/is only rich son
