  • 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.

Before I underline the team’s hopes and expectations for this event, I wish to acknowledge all the hard work that’s gone into putting on this rally in such a short amount of time. The efforts of AKK Sports and all the volunteers, particularly in the context of COVID-19, has really impressed me so a big thank you to them. It’s fair to say we showed our limits on Rallye Monte-Carlo and found ourselves licking our wounds and trying to get ahead. Unfortunately, it didn’t work there and after making some changes to our approach we start the second round of the season hoping it will be much better than the first. Having wished a fond farewell to Carlos del Barrio after Monte as he prepared for the next chapter of his career, we are pleased to welcome back Craig and Paul for the start of their half-season campaign in a Hyundai i20 Coupe WRC. We know very well their ability and determination as they try to make a strong start to their season. As well as our regular World Rally Car drivers, we are giving a big chance to a really promising youngster, Oliver Solberg.

  • Rally Turkey – Day Three Report
    Rally Turkey – Day Three Report Hyundai Motorsport has registered a double podium in Rally Turkey, the fifth round of the 2020 FIA World Rally Championship (WRC) Thierry Neuville finished in second place and took the maximum five Power Stage points, ahead of Sébastien Loeb, who claimed third overall - his first podium since Chile 2019. Ott Tänak brought his difficult Rally Turkey to a more positive conclusion with four Power Stage points, as the team maintains second in the manufacturers’ championship. ASPARAN, TURKEY, Sep. 20, 2020 — Hyundai Motorsport has concluded Rally Turkey with a double podium finish on a dramatic final day in which both Thierry Neuville and Sébastien Loeb picked up punctures on the opening stage. With the longest test of the entire event - the 38.15km Çetibeli - run twice on Sunday morning, in addition to the shorter 6.28km Marmaris test, it was never going to be a straight-forward finish to the rally. However, issues for the crews during the opening run were not a welcome addition to the script. Overnight leaders Neuville and co-driver Nicolas Gilsoul saw their 33-second advantage eradicated as they were forced to stop to change a tyre mid-stage. Loeb and Daniel Elena, too, were struck by tyre misfortune as they nursed their Hyundai i20 Coupe WRC through the final kilometres with a puncture, losing over a minute of time. They weren’t the only crews to experience trouble in the first run through Çetibeli, which transformed the overall classification. On the first pass through Marmaris, Neuville took an emphatic stage win to reclaim second overall, behind new rally leader Elfyn Evans, with Loeb in fourth overall - less than five seconds from the podium.

  • Rally Estonia
    MEDIA INFORMATION 2020 FIA World Rally Championship Round 4: Rally Estonia MICHELIN ready for action as the 2020 WRC campaign resumes with a new-look final run-in After an interruption of practically five months since March’s Rally Mexico which was itself shortened slightly as the Covid-19 pandemic took a grip, the 2020 FIA World Rally Championship fires back up this weekend in Estonia. Included for the first time as part of the WRC calendar, Rally Estonia did not feature on the initial 2020 schedule. However, tightening travel restrictions have led the series’ organisers to focus on European venues and postpone the longer-haul fixtures until next season. After the year’s wintry openers, namely Rallye Monte-Carlo and Rally Sweden, Mexico was the first of the championship’s initially-planned gravel events, which means Rally Estonia will be the second loose-surface round of the campaign. Having emerged as the Baltic States’ biggest motorsport event since it was first organised in 2010, the rally is reputed above all for its fast stages and jumps, yet it also includes a number of technical forest roads that range from narrow to wide. The defending world champion Ott Tänak will obviously be keen to post a top performance on home soil in his Hyundai i20 Coupe WRC which is equipped with Michelin tyres, as are all the cars of the sport’s stars who are eager to get behind the wheel in anger for the first time since mid-March. For sanitary reasons, Rally Estonia will run to a compact format, with the weekend’s 17 stages (11 on Saturday, September 5, plus six on Sunday) totalling just 232.64 kilometres.

    26. - 28. 8. 2011 www.CzechRally.com RALLYRALLY GUIDEGUIDE 1 Vážení přátelé motoristického sportu, Barum Czech Rally Zlín má dlouholetou tradici, v letošním roce se bude konat již po jedenačtyřicáté. Rallysport je v České republice nesmírně populárním sportovním odvětvím, o čemž svědčí velké zástupy nadšených motoristických fandů podél rychlostních zkoušek, kterých se kolem trati jen schází několik desítek tisíc. Automobilová rally, která má centrum v moravském městě Zlíně, je od roku 1983 součástí mistrovství Evropy jezdců a od roku 2007 patří také do prestižního světového seriálu Intercontinental Rally Challenge (IRC) organizovaného s výraznou mediální podporou promotéra šampionátu, satelitní televizní stanice Eurosport. S jejím příchodem soutěž prošla dalším velkým posunem, který je patrný zejména na kvalitě startovního pole. To v minulém roce bylo bez nadsázky nejlepší v celé své historii - ve Zlíně se objevilo celkem 27 vozů progresivně se rozvíjející kategorie Super 2000. Tento počet jinde ve světě doposud nebyl dosud překonán a Zlín se může pyšnit tímto neoficiálním světovým rekordem. Vítězem loňského ročníku se podruhé stal Belgičan Freddy Loix, který se Škodou Fabií S2000 reprezentoval barvy domácí tovární stáje Škoda Motorsport. Dlouholetým partnerem Barum Czech Rally Zlín je tradiční česká pneumatikářská společnost Barum. Propojení nejúspěšnější domácí značky pneumatik s předním českým motoristickým závodem vytváří výhodné podmínky pro pozitivní vnímání jak pneumatik Barum, tak samotné soutěže. Stejně jako v minulosti bude značka Barum hlavním partnerem i při jedenačtyřicátém ročníku zlínské rally. Ta se během let propracovala až na samotný vrchol motoristických akcí v České republice a každoročně je nositelem řady novinek na scénu českého rallysportu. Pravidelné vysoké hodnocení rally z organizačního a především bezpečnostního hlediska přineslo zasloužené ocenění, neboť Světová rally komise při FIA zařadila Barum Czech Rally Zlín opět do seriálu elitních soutěží evropského šampionátu.

  • Factbook 2019 Wrc Factbook 2019 / Prograde Photo of the Year Wrc Factbook 2019 / Intro
    FACTBOOK 2019 WRC FACTBOOK 2019 / PROGRADE PHOTO OF THE YEAR WRC FACTBOOK 2019 / INTRO WRC FACTBOOK 2019 The 2018 WRC season will be remembered as the most exciting and dramatic in a generation. It is 15 years since a drivers’ title fight of similar magnitude and a compelling season-long battle involving three drivers was finally resolved on the last morning of the season in Australia. It was a similar story in the manufacturers’ championship. All four teams won rallies and three made the long journey Down Under still with an opportunity to claim the crown. Following a similarly enthralling and unpredictable 2017 cam- paign, when new-era World Rally Cars headlined a raft of major changes to the championship, it is clear our sport is in the midst of an unforgettable period in its history. Away from the close competition, the WRC has grown in stature.
