Do you think we'll see Ken Block or Tanner Foust back this year?
I was really happy to read the news about Petter. He's such a class act. |

One new rule is changing a lot for 2015, BOTH starters of a WorldRX team can be changed for each WRX round now.

Anyone noticed that one of the TWO Münnich Audi S3 SuperCars on their New Years Card had the starting no #77... Coincidence?

Didn't Rene run with number 77 on his WTCC car in 2014?

PG Andersson might return next year but will probably only do some races with EKS who he is currently talking to.

The car is also described as being based on an R5 Fiesta shell - so the Rally GB scrutineering sticker on the cage makes sense there! It'd be interesting to know how much has changed / will change on the shell to complete the conversion to Rallycross spec - I assume things like radiator positioning for one will be changed.

The R5 engine is 1.6L, isn't it? So that must get binned. I assume the transmission gets replaced as well? I think the R5 uses a Sadev unit, but I can't imagine that is rated for rallycross levels of power? (The little blurb sheet from Autosport also mentions Sellholm transmission, which would imply its a different unit) I assume the car will retain the MacPherson strut configuration, so I guess the original suspension units could be used, though perhaps fine tuned/overhauled for rallycross? |

Find that amazing considering his team were largely suposed to be running the cars in 2014.
I presume Bergteamett had more invovlement and were not impressed, I dont blame them, but of a driver should ahve been moving too EKS (which in my opinion is the strongest car in the field) it would be Topi. Marklund was OK, but nothing special, Larsson is far better and Marklund is largely there coz of who he is. Enerberg anyone? How could anyone ignore that talent? Leppihalme another,m Jeanny scratching round for rides with Doran in a fall to bits special, just shows its not what you know eh. |
