  • Hard Rally Italy: Kopecký in Fifth Place in WRC 2
    ŠKODA Motorsport, Page 1 of 4 Hard Rally Italy: Kopecký in fifth place in WRC 2 › Jan Kopecký/Pavel Dresler win their first special stage in WRC 2 at the Rally Italy in the ŠKODA Fabia R5 – but are awarded a time penalty › European Champion Esapekka Lappi crashes into a stone while in the lead › Many top teams fail to survive Friday unscathed › Record Saturday has an abundant 212 km and the legendary 'Micky’s Jump' in store Alghero, 12 June 2015 – The hard Rally Italy also took its toll on ŠKODA works drivers Jan Kopecký (CZ) and Esapekka Lappi (FIN). Eight years after his last appearance in the FIA World Rally Championship for the Czech car manufacturer, Kopecký won his first special stage in WRC 2, but ended the second day of rallying in just fifth place in the WRC 2 overall standings after receiving a time penalty. European Champion Esapekka Lappi (FIN) was even in the lead on the Mediterranean island of Sardinia, but lost a lot of time after colliding with a stone. Nothing is decided yet: Only about a third of the approximate 400 kilometres of special stages have been mastered at the most difficult WRC event of the year, which many top teams failed to survive unscathed on Friday. The most difficult stages await the best drivers in the world on Saturday and Sunday. "We will go on the attack again over the remaining two days. It's simply awesome to be on the great world championship stage once again. The Rally Sardinia has proved to be the difficult test we expected," said Jan Kopecký.

    Previous page (top) Mitsubishi PAJEROs dominated the 2002 Paris-Dakar Rally with a historic sweep of first, sec- ond, third, and fourth places. From the starting line in Arras (about 170 km north of Paris), this year’s Dakar rally covered a total distance of 9,432 km including 4,030 km of special stages. First across the finishing line was Japanese driver Hiroshi Masuoka, who completed the special stages in 46 hours, 11 minutes, and 30 seconds. Second place was taken by last year’s win- ner, Jutta Kleinschmidt of Germany. And third place was taken by Kenjiro Shinozuka of Japan. This year’s Dakar’s victory is the seventh for Mitsubishi Motors since the company began competing in 1983. The photograph shows the celebration at the finish.

  • KCF Month …..Get Your Entries In…
    Brisport October 2018 KCF Month …..get your entries in…. What’s in this month’s edition? • Another great read – we hope! • How about sending us a story or two! Brisport October 2018 PRESIDENTS REPORT OCTOBER 2018 Another major month has just passed for BSCC in the seemingly heavily loaded back end of the year. Just the way the cookie has crumbled this year what with weather, other events that both did happen or where meant to happen and availability of people. Which is not to say there is not still much more to come, so a big finish beckons. September of course saw the running of the biggest event in the BSCC and perhaps Queensland Rallying Calendar with the running of the SR Automotive Manumbar Rally. It was a major test of crews and cars covering the year’s longest competitive distance across some of the great roads available in South East Queensland. It was a pretty full on day starting early and finishing as the sun faded over another terrific day of hot competition. A full report follows in the magazine but I must make a special thanks to Simon and Margot Knowles, Brad Hurford (plus Kelli, Rachel & Chloe), Margaret MacKay and the extensive team who continue to put this event together. It was interesting to hear of the developing mystique around this event, drawing as it does on some of the more senior competitors and officials’ fond memories of the Gallangowan event days. But also to realise that it is ever changing and evolving with the support of the local community and lots and lots of hard work to unearth and bring on new roads and challenges.
