  • Rally Sweden February 11 - 14, 2016
    2016 Rally Sweden February 11 - 14, 2016 ROUND 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 Rally Sweden February 11 - 14, 2016 2016 HYUNDAI’S HELLO Welcome to Rally Sweden, round two of the 2016 FIA World Rally Championship and another new challenge for Hyundai Motorsport. Rally Sweden will be the second event for the New Generation i20 WRC and a second different surface. We have tested on snow back in December and again last week with the new car and it’s gone well with no major issues. The drivers have been happy too; they’ve found good set-ups for the differential and the dampers so I think they are all quite confident. Thierry finished second in Sweden last year in the 2015 car but the drivers say that the New Generation i20 WRC feels even better. The car is a bit longer so it should be more stable on fast sections of road like you get in Sweden. We believe we have gained a bit of traction too, which is important on a low-grip surface like snow. In Sweden the car runs on gravel specification but there are specific details you can prepare for this event. You don’t want to get too much snow in the car because it adds extra weight so you have to make sure it is well sealed, inside the wheel arches and underneath the car. Also, because of the cold temperatures we don’t have to cool down the car as much as usual so we’ll use a different radiator.

  • The MICHELIN Pilot Sport S5 and H5 Ready for the Rally of the 10,000 Corners!
    MEDIA INFORMATION 2016 FIA World Rally Championship (FIA WRC) Tour de Corse – Rallye de France The MICHELIN Pilot Sport S5 and H5 ready for the Rally of the 10,000 corners! After August’s demanding Rallye Deutschland and the cancellation of the scheduled visit to China, 2016 FIA World Rally Championship action resumes with another asphalt round, the Tour de Corse – Rallye de France. Some 70 percent of the French classic has been revised compared with this time 12 months ago, while its distance has been upped by 20 percent. It will continue to feature the Mediterranean island’s staggering variety of spectacular backdrops but the weather there can often be unsettled at this time of year. The total distance of 1,170.40km includes 390.92 competitive kilometres divided into 10 stages, with only Friday’s two attempts at Plage du Liamone-Sarrola-Carcopino carried over from 2015. Meanwhile, the service park has switched from Corte to Bastia Airport, but Ajaccio will continue to host the organisational nerve-centre and Thursday evening’s ceremonial start. Saturday’s leg will be the longest, with two loops of two stages totalling 169.04km. The Tour de Corse – Rallye de France promises to be quite tough on tyres because of the stage lengths involved (five of the 10 are around 50km in length), so strategies could play a decisive role. Also, changeable weather high in the mountains and the big gaps between stage start times could spring some surprises depending on tyre choices. The information provided by Michelin’s Technical Advisors is consequently likely to be more valuable than ever, although tyre calls are always ultimately the responsibility of the drivers.

  • 150415 SKODA Fabia
    ŠKODA Motorsport , Strana 1 z 4 Dotazy pro člena představenstva odpovědného za technický vývoj, dr. Franka Welsche, k novému vozu ŠKODA Fabia R 5 ŠKODA se ohlíží za svou více než 100letou tradicí v motoristickém sportu. Jaký význam má motoristický sport pro značku ŠKODA v dnešní době? Welsch: Jsme velice hrdí na naši dlouhou, úspěšnou tradici v motoristickém sportu, která trvá již 114 let. Tehdy stejně jako dnes nabízí motoristický sport ideální jeviště k tomu, přiblížit široké veřejnosti umění inženýrů značky ŠKODA. Motoristický sport je ale mnohem více než chladné „vystavení“ našich výrobků, motoristický sport také vzbuzuje emoce. Tyto emoce vyzařují na naši značku, na naše výrobky. A přirozeně také chceme ukázat, o kolik jsme lepší než konkurence. Jak využívá sériová výroba rallyový sport a naopak? Jedná se zejména o přenos know-how, ale také o přenos emocí. Náš nový sériový vůz Fabia má např. geny rallyového speciálu, což je již zvnějšku poznat podle podstatně sportovnějšího a hranatějšího designu. Naopak nová sériová Fabia je základem pro vůz Fabia R 5. Kromě toho: abychom mohli na tratích rally čelit konkurenci z celého světa, musí být auto technicky na špici. ŠKODA je symbolem pro inovace, spolehlivost a nejvyšší kvalitu - základ úspěchu našich soutěžních speciálů i našich sériových vozů. Jakou roli hrála spolupráce v koncernu Volkswagen při vývoji nového soutěžního speciálu? Spolupráce v koncernu Volkswagen samozřejmě nabízí mnoho možností k dosahování synergických účinků. ŠKODA tak má možnost využívat nejmodernější technologie a zařízení koncernu. K tomu přistupuje skutečnost, že Volkswagen má díky své účasti v mistrovství světa v rally velké zkušenosti se soutěžními turbomotory.

    ŠKODA Motorsport Press Release, Page 1 of 4 Wonderful rally weekend: ŠKODA celebrates in Australia as well › Second one-two result for ŠKODA in the FIA Asia-Pacific Rally Championship (APRC): Gaurav Gill/Glenn Macneall victorious ahead of Fabian Kreim/Frank Christian, in extremely difficult conditions › The Rally Queensland and the Rally Hustopeče: two ŠKODA triumphs, 15,500 kilometres apart › Michal Hrabánek: “Proud of this rally weekend” Imbil/Australia, 19th June 2016 – It was a wonderful rally weekend for ŠKODA: triumph at the Rally Hustopeče at home in the Czech Republic was followed by a one-two result at the Rally Queensland in Australia.
