Yep SC is looking good. Don't know about S1600 and TC.

With McNish and Coulthard having tight connections with Audi and Mercedes I find it hard to believe one of them will drive for Albatec.

BTW The Mercedes A-Class would be a great looking Supercar and RX a great way for Mercedes to attract younger buyers.

I've posted this in the British thread too but it's worth mentioning here - I was at Brands yesterday for the BTCC and something I wasn't expecting at all happened - the commentators mentioned the world rallycross round at Lydden (with the Andrew Jordan connection) and there was a full page advert for it in the BTCC programme How did they pull that one off?!? Brands advertising a Lydden event? Strange but true!

I see Timmy Hansen tweeted yesterday...

...no surprise really, but that seems to confirm him as driving one of the Hansen Pugs. Perhaps an annoucement to come from Timerzyanov soon?

I do rather like the look of the Saab in black, very cool colour for that car.

Why switch manufacturer? Since the end of 2013 the Saab 9-3 is in production again.

paul1982 · 2 Apr 2014, 17:09 (Ref:3387924)

For your list tbtstt:

Hedstrom - Skoda Fabia (Hedstrom Motorsport) WRX confirmed
Tord Linnerud - Renault Clio (Helmia) ERX Confirmed
Keersmaecker - Ford Fiesta (Try to make Belgium, For the rest don't know)
Jos Kuypers told me last year that he will do some WRX.
But his new fiesta is also ready in the half of the season.

Is there a Change KMS will drive full ERX?? I touhgt they confirmed Sweden. Possibly more but not at the moment in my opinion??
Also read something about Pavel Koutny - Ford Fiesta for ERX and Challenge in Czech Rep.
Still 99% sure one albatec 208 is for Andy himself.

Blimey! Especially as the World Rallycross at Lydden clashes with the Brands 50th Celebration of their first Grand Prix, and they have switched the Historic meeting from its usual Sunday/Monday to Saturday/Sunday as well, with a separate historic meeting on the Monday.

Agreed especially as Lydden clashes with a Grand Prix, where they both live, Monaco, I don't think it's a live race for the BBC, but guess both will have TV duties that weekend.

Shame they started building late. Well regarded two lost seasons for him.

So he's really building a new Fiesta. Did he sold his Focus?
I thought one of the reasons for switching back to a Focus was the longer wheelbase.

paul1982 · 2 Apr 2014, 19:49 (Ref:3387996)

He will build 2 new fiesta's. Don't no for who is the 2nd one....
I tought he switched also to the focus because it was bigger....
Focus is Sold. If i'm correct to Steve Volders. I tought He will use it for the Challenge

I assume again in cooperation with VA Motorsport?

To answer my own question. In an interview (Start magazine) with Kuypers about his return to oval racing he said he had to pick up his new rallycross car in Sweden.

Did he buy a Fiesta at OMSE?

**FIRE** · 5 Apr 2014, 17:11 (Ref:3389051)

paul1982 · 5 Apr 2014, 17:39 (Ref:3389052)

I think he buy the body from OMSE.
Otherwise the care was ready to run.
And what i hear it is finished half the season.
Maybe he is in valkenswaard next week as a spectator. Can ask than.... or just give him a call 😊

paul1982 · 5 Apr 2014, 17:41 (Ref:3389054)

Or some parts were made by gunnarson....
Like the focus mk2

You are probably right. You said already it would take some time before the car is ready.

dex92 · 14 Apr 2014, 17:29 (Ref:3392475)

Maybe wrong but saw a letter on Facebook which looks to show a world rallycross media day tomorrow at Lydden hill.
Be interesting if true what's actually down there.

Pictures floating round of Bakkeruds Fiesta being unloaded. I have just read comments that Andrew Jordan and Liam Doran will be unveiling their cars as well.

I wasn't expecting any more annoucements until the media day on the 23rd, be interesting to see what news trickles out.

**BertMk2** · 15 Apr 2014, 09:19 (Ref:3392712)

Andy Jordans Fiesta looks good

There's a pretty big Red Bull presence on the car - the three OMSE cars all sharing a basic scheme with variations of sponsorship. It'll be interesting to see which other cars break cover today.

AlamakiRX · 15 Apr 2014, 09:21 (Ref:3392714)

All 3 Fiestas are there for Jordan, nitis and bakkerud.

Liam there in the DS3

Andy Scott also

Spectator · 15 Apr 2014, 15:12 (Ref:3392845)

BBC southeast regional news are doing a bit about Rallycross at Lydden tonight in their 18.30 programme for those of you who are able to receive it
