ICY IGNIS! Years Running rallytalk SWEDISH RALLY February 2005 | ISSUE #3 WORLD RALLY CHAMPIONSHIP 2005 NOTEBOOK Fire and ice… The Swedish Rally marked an important new chapter in Suzuki’s motorsport history: the first step towards a possible full campaign at the very highest level. This year, the Monster Sport Europe Suzuki Ignis squad is focussing on the Junior World Rally Championship, but the team is also competing on every round of the World Championship for the first time. The World Championship is of vital strategic importance for Suzuki, as it enables the team to gain both logistical and sporting experience for the future. Sweden was the first non-Junior World Championship round of the series, but familiar territory for reigning Junior World Rally Champion P-G Andersson. The Swede is well-acquainted with his local roads, having won the Swedish Super 1600 Rally Championship for the last two ICY IGNIS! years running. For his English team mate Just before the Rally Sweden there was hardly any snow at all, but luckily it snowed on the night of the rally start, covering the stages in a thin but crucial layer of the white stuff! This enabled the Suzukis and their studded snow tyres to set the slippery stages alight! Nobody was sure how the two- swept up first and second places wheel drive Suzukis would get on in their class, thanks also to the Guy Wilks it was more of a learning in the extremely tricky conditions, talents of P-G Andersson and Guy experience, but he still acquitted himself where grip and traction was at a Wilks.

But in the end, the Ignis finished ahead of the pair of specialised round of the World Rally beat most of the four-wheel drive Monster Sport Europe Suzukis, Championship.

Subaru driver Petter Solberg won the Rally Sweden, after a thrilling head-to- head battle with Peugeot’s Marcus Gronholm over the icy stages. The leading duo swapped the lead six times over the course of the first two days, separated by just tenths of a second. But with such a frenetic pace, it was almost inevitable that something had to give. Gronholm crashed heavily on the final day while pushing hard, handing Solberg a clear advantage over Citroen driver Sebastien Loeb. The Frenchman had been worried by smoke from his engine at the end of the second day, and on the final morning it blew up definitively: a Final classification in class A6, Swedish Rally: rare retirement from the reigning World 1.

The rally started off badly for me when I slid off on the first stage and went into a ditch, but at least I was in good company: Sebastien Loeb went in there too when the stage was run for the second time. After that I concentrated on going fast and driving tidily. Luckily, this tactic worked!” GUY WILKS | GB 2ND IN CLASS A6, 22ND OVERALL “Everything was going well until we picked up a puncture on stage three. There was a rock right in the middle of the road that many of the top World Rally Cars hit as well. Unfortunately we had to stop and change the wheel, which cost around three minutes. Our off on stage five meant that we didn’t get the car’s alignment properly sorted until the second day, but overall it’s been a fantastic learning experience and we’ve got a lot of the event.” PETER ZACHRISSON | S 4TH IN CLASS A6, 29TH OVERALL “This rally was a big step up, as I am not used to the power and handling of this type of car. But as the event went on I found myself growing in confidence and I think we can be proud of our performance. There was a lot to get used to, as the stage conditions during the rally were very different to those in the recce. I had a slight problem with the gear cut on day one, but apart from that the car was mechanically perfect and a lot of fun to drive.” 3 WRC FACES VIEW FROM THE TOP PIERO SODANO Piero Sodano is the FIA Media Delegate, and organisers functions smoothly. responsible for all matters relating to the Before and after each rally there is a press media on the World Rally Championship. conference (which includes the Junior The Italian is in charge of media World Rally Championship winners) accreditation, and making sure that the organised by Piero.

  • Newsletter N O 3 October 2020
    Dear Rally family, dear friends, Welcome to issue six of the FIA Rally Newsletter, which we are pleased to send out following last week’s online meeting of the FIA World Motor Sport Council on October 9, 2020. Inside are details of the new eighth and final round of this year’s FIA World Rally Championship, the planned calendar for the 2021 WRC, plus an update on some of the recent regulation changes. From a Regional Rally perspective, we are happy that the FIA Middle East Rally Championship title will be awarded in 2020 following a change to the points-scoring system. We are also humbled by the efforts of the Rally of Lebanon organisers to keep moving ahead with their event in November, despite the devastating explosion in Beirut in August and the suffering and disruption that it has caused. Continuing the Regional Rally theme, we are enthused by the progress of Rally3 with the first car, a Ford Fiesta Rally3 from M-Sport Poland, coming to life during a summer of test and development. An update on the work undertaken by the Rally Safety Task Force and how it helped with the successful running of three events in Croatia, San Marino and Portugal can be found in this edition. Everyone in the Rally Department is very proud that the Sporting Regulations for FIA Rally Star have been approved with momentum really building up following the publication of a detailed set of guidelines to help ASNs around the world organise the initial talent detection events. FIA Rally Star will help to uncover and nurture future world champions by encouraging mass participation in the sport at grassroots level.

  • Japan 08 Day 3
    th 5 Rally Japan (October 30-November 2, 2008) Sébastien Loeb and Daniel Elena: the 2008 World Champions* Today, Sunday November 2, 2008, will be remembered in rallying's record books as the day Sébastien Loeb and Daniel Elena claimed their fifth consecutive world title, a unique feat in the history of the sport. Indeed, the pair has reigned supreme since 2004, initially with the Citroën Xsara and, more recently, with the Citroën C4. As in 2005, they made sure of the crown in Japan, this time with one round remaining. The curtain is scheduled to come down on the season in three weeks' time in Wales where Sébastien Loeb/Daniel Elena and Dani Sordo/Marc Martí will be out to secure the Manufacturers' title, too, at the wheel of their respective C4 WRCs. Although the final leg of the 2008 Rally Japan featured just 96.43km of competitive action (divided into nine stages), everyone in the French squad found the day extremely long as they waited to pop the champagne to celebrate today's historic occasion. As was the case on Friday and Saturday, Sébastien and Daniel made no attempt to deal their rivals an ippon - style knockout blow, especially since the conditions were once again wet and muddy. Not surprisingly, the state of the stages produced a certain amount of anxiety within the team's ranks. In the end, however, the Citroën pair completed the rally in third place which was enough to hand them their fifth world title in just six full WRC campaigns! This score takes Sébastien and Daniel clear of the record they previously shared with Juha Kankkunen and, more especially, Tommi Mäkinen, who was the only driver before them to succeed in racking up four consecutive championship wins (1996 to 1999).

  • Press Information
    PRESS INFORMATION HIRVONEN POWERS TO WRC CENTURY IN TURKEY KEMER, 15 June 2008 - Ford today claimed a record-breaking 100th consecutive points finish in the FIA World Rally Championship with the Focus RS World Rally Car. It became the first manufacturer since the launch of the championship in 1973 to reach a century of successive scores (see below) on the Rally of Turkey thanks to Hirvonen and Jarmo Lehtinen claiming their second win of the FIA World Rally Championship season in a Ford Focus RS World Rally Car, and team-mates Jari-Matti Latvala and Miikka Anttila just 7,9 sec behind in another Focus RS as Ford extended its lead in the manufacturers' series to nine points. After dominating Friday's opening leg to hold first and second, Hirvonen and Latvala deliberately eased their pace in the final few metres to drop down the leaderboard to gain better road conditions yesterday. A lower start position meant they avoided the huge disadvantage of being first and second on roads covered by slippery loose gravel. Instead, they benefited from the cleaning process of the cars ahead, who swept stones from the surface to leave a cleaner and faster line on which to attack. Ford's Finns rocketed back to first and second yesterday morning and attacked hard to build as big a lead as possible over championship rival Sébastien Loeb, who swept the roads, in third. Hirvonen and Latvala had the unwanted 'cleaning' role today, but the buffer was big enough to hold off a determined charge from Loeb during the final 31, 03 km speed test to claim the team's second 1-2 of the season.
