The 3 winners of the Beyond Rally program with the prize drive in Central Europa in Fiesta Rally3.
A bit surprising not to see Raftery which was the most experienced.

Not an easy one for Schonborn to almost begin in straight rally with a WRC round (just one e-rally so far where she did rather good).

For me it is quite nonsense to send them directly to WRC round...

+ with a 4WD car.
Globally agree on that point, I’m skeptical about making such a big jump without a transition period with for exemple Rally4 car in ERC.

Baudet sounds in better situation for Central Europa with more experience on pure rallying and tarmac but still a big jump from Belgian championship RC5 drives (and e-rally cup).
Should be much harder for the Finnish one IMO.

Schonborn can be surprising on some stages with her hill experience but I doubt she can match on a full Rally all 3 days.

to Duvel

1. Yes, it's somehow tolerated during the rally, better if the owner agrees.

2. From each stage there will be onboard video soon. For now, you can watch last year's videos. However, not many of this year's stages were on itinerary in 2023. E.g. powerstage is 90% the same as the 2023 version.


Shakedown - 100% new

SS1 - same as last year

SS 2/3/6 Klatovy - 90% is new, only the first kilometre of the stage is the same as before.

SS 4/7 Strasin- 100% new stage, approx. 15 km of the stage is in the opposite direction to last year's stage.

SS5/8 Sumavske Hostice - 80% of this stage was run last year, 20% is new.

SS 9/12 Granit und Wald - 100% new stage

SS10/13 Beyond Borders - 85% new stage, last 2km in the opposite direction, 15% same as last year,

SS11/14 Schardinger Innviertel - 100% new stage, last 5 km in the opposite direction

SS15/17 Hochwald - 100% new stage

SS16/18 Passauer Land - 90% same as last year, 10% new

Thanks for the info, hope to be there!

And a complicated tarmac rally like CER.
