Jos nesto zanimljivo,
na 11. mestu zavrsio je PATRIK SANDELL koji je prosle godine vozio kod nas na Interspeed reliju, a ove sezone treba da vozi za InterSpeed doduse u JWRC sa cliom S1600.

Lep trio na vrhu

Najmladji pobednik u WRC-u, 22 godine JARI-MATTI LATVALA.
Bravo!

J-M Latvala je doveden u Ford sa 17 godina a debitovao je, koliko se sećam, u RAC Rally UK u oktobru 2003. Zanimljivo je da je te godine kao 3. vozač Forda debitovao i tada 21-godišnji Hirvonen. Hirvonen je u prvi tim Forda ušao pre 2 godine, dok je Latvala posle par godina sticanja iskustva i vožnje za rezervni Ford tim ove godine došao do prvog tima, posle odluke legende Marcus Grönholma da završi karijeru. I, evo, već u svom 2. reliju u prvom timu beleži pobedu. Impresivno

E bas mi drago za ovog malisu, svaka mu cast!!!

Sta kazete sto su revnosni svedski panduri a Loebova faca dok su mu pisali kaznu

Nego, GDE JE SNEG???
Nema veze i ovako je bilo zanimljivo.
Ipak mislim da bi morali da uvedu jos bar jedan snezni reli, kao prosle godine.

Ipak mislim da bi morali da uvedu jos bar jedan snezni reli, kao prosle godine.

Stav FIA je da je u skladu sa ukupnim smanjenjem broja relija godišnje, jedan "snežni" reli dovoljan (ja ne mislim tako! ). Rally Norway će ponovo biti sledeće godine, jer se event sada rotira sa Švedskom.

Nova pravila koje je FIA upravo ustanovila predviđaju da se od sezone 2011 WRC kola baziraju na (sadašnjim) S2000 i Grupi N. Zanimljivo

Sve u svemu, drastične mere za smanjenje troškova - verovatno će dovesti i do povećanja broja proizvođača u takmičenju. Sada su ostali samo Ford, Citroen, Subaru i novi tim od ove godine - Suzuki. Do pre neku godinu takmičili su se Peugeot, Škoda, Hyundai i Mitsubishi... čak i Seat.

WRC calendar changes announced

The FIA has confirmed date changes for the final two rounds of the 2008 World Rally Championship.

After a meeting of The World Motor Sport Council in Paris, the dates for Rally Japan and Wales Rally GB have both been moved back by one week.

Rally Japan will now run from 31 October to 2 November rather than its original 24-26 October slot, while Wales Rally GB will run from 5-7 December rather than 28-30 November.

The organisers of both rallies requested a date change because of clashes with other major sporting events in their cities.

Rally Japan will now be able to make use of the 41,000 seat Sapporo Dome, while Wales Rally GB will be back at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff.

Petter fastest at Rally Argentina shakedown

Petter Solberg of the Subaru World Rally Team was the fastest driver at today’s pre Rally Argentina shakedown.

Solberg brought his Impreza WRC2007 through the 4.59km stage in a time of 2min 37.6sec, four tenths of a second faster than reigning world champion Sebastien Loeb who was his nearest challenger.

But despite his good pace, Solberg says the heavy rain that fell during the session made it impossible to read much into the times.

“The time was good but I don’t think it’s representative of what we’ll do on the rally,” said Solberg. “The road was very soft and cutting up quite badly. Like most of the guys our best time came on the first pass, after that we were all slower because the road was so rough. I was four seconds slower on the second pass. If the real stages are like this one it’s going to be a very tough rally indeed.”

After a period of dry and sunny weather in the Cordoba region, rain showers have fallen in Carlos Paz since the start of the week, making the event's soft gravel stages muddy, slippery and less than ideal for the hard compound tyres all the WRC crews will be using.

“The softer compound tyre would work better in these conditions - for sure,” said Solberg. “But it’s the same situation for everybody. We’ll just have to take it a little bit careful, take a little bit more care on mud patches. If the weather stays like it is now, and we are using tyres which are at their best in 30 degrees and on hot dry roads, then all of us are going to have to back off a bit.”

Shakedown times for WRC entrants:

1. P. Solberg: 2:37.6
2. Loeb: 2:38.0
3. Hirvonen: 2:38.9
4. Latvala: 2:39.5
5. H. Solberg: 2:40.7
6. Galli: 2:40.9
7. Atkinson: 2:42.6

Rally Argentina off to a dramatic start

Rain, fog and low cloud have made the opening two stages of Rally Argentina a harsh wake-up call for the WRC competitors.

As many drivers had predicted after Thursday’s wet shakedown test, Friday’s soft gravel roads deteriorated with the passage of each car, creating deep ruts and a rougher surface for the crews running further down the start order.

Friday morning’s rainy conditions were made worse when thick fog enveloped the first stage at La Cumbre shortly after Mikko Hirvonen - the first driver through - had started.

Hirvonen made the most of the advantageous road conditions and set the fastest time on SS1 - 48 seconds ahead of his Ford team-mate Jari-Matti Latvala who was second. Defending world champion Sebastien Loeb lost time when he spun his Citroen C4 WRC but he completed the stage in the third fastest time.

P-G Andersson of the Suzuki World Rally Team became the first retirement of the event when he parked his SX4 WRC four kilometres before the start of SS1. The team says Andersson reported a problem on the way to the stage - but won’t be any more specific. His car will be brought back to the team’s service area for inspection.

Stage two brought more wet and wild conditions, with many drivers reporting poor visibility in the fog and low cloud. Jari-Matti Latvala was lucky to complete the stage at all after clipping a bank on a corner 2km from the start and rolling his Ford Focus, but the incident cost the Finn nine minutes and dropped him from second to 29th place overall. “I made a mistake - that’s life.” he said. “There isn’t too much damage, just a broken windscreen really, we were lucky there were so many spectators around to push us back over on to our wheels. We should be okay to get through the next couple of stages and back to service.”

Hirvonen was stage winner again on SS2 to increase his overall rally lead to 52seconds. Sebastien Loeb was second quickest through the stage, two seconds slower than Hirvonen, while Chris Atkinson was third, 11 seconds behind the Frenchman.

After a refuelling stop at La Cumbre, crews will tackle two more stages before returning to Carlos Paz for the midday 30-minute service.
