Now there’s a Briefing real effort to bring him home. Longer calendar may not be good news for ERC teams Elsewhere in this issue we take a look at the news that next year the European rallycross Championship will almost certainly grow to 12 races, and concentrate on the budgetary and time consequences of this. It may seem strange to suggest that racing teams, businesses established to go racing, could object to having more events each year, more opportunities to trade. That, however, is very likely to be the case in the ERC. The FIA Off Roads President himself admits that ‘the drivers will not like it’. But Andy Lasure has very little option other than to propose a 12-event calendar be accepted to 2008. If the ORC receives 12 valid applications on behalf of suitably qualified organisers and correctly licenced circuits, there is no reason Rustad’s return for those applications to be rejected. Lasure says he expects that there will be 12 applications for the 2008 season. Assuming they are all properly supported and correct, the championship “Crown Prince” Tommy comes clean on ERC ambition will be run over 12 rounds. Germany is seeking to rejoin the ERC and will, almost certainly seek to regain it’s traditional calendar slot in the first In the lead up to his ‘one-off’ drive in the Norwegian ERC Opland but more latterly working in a management capacity weekend of October.

Lauderdale, FL. Subaru factory drivers Bucky Lasek, Sverre Isachsen, and Travis Pastrana took part in the final pre-season test session at the Florida International Rally and Motorsports School in Starke, FL. Co-developed by Vermont SportsCar and Subaru Tecnica International, The VT15x starts life as a production 2015 WRX STI, then receives extensive upgrades to the driveline, suspension, and aerodynamics creating an STI capable of 0-60 in 2 seconds that can handle pavement, dirt, and jumps. True to its factory design, the VT15x features a turbocharged four-cylinder SUBARU BOXER® engine and all-wheel drive. As a warm up to his X Games Rallycross entry, Subaru team driver Travis Pastrana joined the test as well. Pastrana will compete in the 2014 WRX STI rallycross car he ran last season with new performance upgrades until his VT15x is completed. “The technical collaboration between Vermont SportsCar and Subaru Tecnica International is beginning to show its fruits in testing,” stated Rob Weir, Subaru Motorsports Marketing Manager. “Compared to our last version of rallycross car, which took us to five podiums last year, the VT15x is a revolution in terms of outright speed and maneuverability.

  • Dubbla Finalplatser I Rallycross-VM För Volkswagen Team Sweden – Rustad Överlägsen I EM
    Dubbla finalplatser i rallycross-VM för Volkswagen Team Sweden – Rustad överlägsen i EM Volkswagen Team Sweden fick med båda sina förare i final när årets femte deltävling i rallycross-VM avgjordes i Tyskland. Johan Kristoffersson slutade fyra och slog vakt om sin andraplats i VM-tabellen. Tord Linnerud blev sjätte man i sin första VM-final. I Marklund Motorsport missade båda VM-förarna semifinal. Desto bättre gick det för Tommy Rustad som vann EM i Supercar överlägset. VM- och EM-deltävlingen på Estering i norra Tyskland bjöd på ett blandat resultat för de svenska Volkswagenteamen. I VM lyckades Volkswagen Team Sweden bäst. Johan Kristoffersson och Tord Linnerud var stabila i kvalomgångarna där norrmannen var bäst en fjärdeplats totalt, placeringen före Kristoffersson. I semifinalerna fortsatte framgångarna. I den första vare Kristoffersson tvåa bakom fransmannen Davy Jeanney och i den andra nådde Linnerud samma placering – slagen endast av Petter Solberg. I finalen delade VW-förarna andra startled. Kristoffersson var snabbast av startplattan och var trea ut ur den första, tuffa kurvan. Linnerud var fyra, men tappade till sjätte plats över de sex varven. Kristoffersson fick nöja sig med fjärde plats sedan han blivit passerad av såväl Petter Solberg som Timmy Hansen när han tog alternativspåret på det sista varvet. – Rent spontant så här direkt efter finalen är jag rätt nöjd. Visst hade det varit roligt med en pallplats, men på en så chansartad bana som den här, där det studsar bilar åt alla håll och kantar, får man vara nöjd med att ta sig till final. Väl där var det inte lätt från andra startspår.

  • Volvo Symbol
    Volvo symbol When the decision was taken to start producing Volvo cars in August , financial backer Svenska Kullagerfabriken — SKF — reactivated a company that had been idle since for the purpose. The name of that company was VOLVO and it had been formed in for the manufacture and marketing of bearings for the automotive industry. Not only was the name ingeniously simple, it was also easy to pronounce in most places around the world and with a minimal risk of spelling errors. And best of it all was its immensely strong symbolic connection to the company's entire operations. In its first person singular form, the verb "volvere" becomes "volvo", i. Its Latin form gives rise to several derivations of the word that in one way or another, and in many languages too, describe a rotating movement, for instance, revolver. Everything that rolls When operations started, they were described as follows: "Ball bearings, roller bearings, machines, transmissions, automobiles, bicycles, rolling-stock, transportation devices, means of transport of all kinds and parts of and accessories for the aforementioned products". All those things were not realised but quite a few Volvo automobiles and other transportation devices have been produced over the years. Some other products that also carried the Volvo brand name are such oddities as producer-gas burners, camping trailers and office chairs. Ancient logotype At the same time as VOLVO was reactivated, the ancient chemical symbol for iron, a circle with an arrow pointing diagonally upwards to the right, was adopted as a logotype. This is one of the oldest and most common ideograms in Western culture and originally stood for the planet Mars in the Roman Empire.

  • Isachsen Slammed out of Fourth Place Finish at X Games Munich Rallycross on Final Lap

The team nearly had redemption in hand for Race Two of the double- header event when Sverre Isachsen, who was set for an impressive 4th place finish in the Final, was spun out from behind by another competitor, forcing him to retire. The offending competitor, Ken Block, was later disqualified from the Final for the aggressive maneuver; however Isachsen remained classified in 8th overall. The X Games Munich RallyCross event was a double-header affair after the previous Global RallyCross Championship round in Barcelona was cancelled due to heavy rains. The event began on Saturday with Isachsen qualifying an impressive 3rd overall, but a mechanical problem in the Race One heats forced Isachsen to miss a chance at reaching the Final. On-track incidents inhibited Subaru team drivers Dave Mirra and Bucky Lasek from reaching the Final as well. With Saturday’s bad luck behind them, the team began Sunday’s second event with the resurgence of Isachsen qualifying 5th overall in his Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive 600hp Subaru WRX STI. Isachsen then advanced straight to the Final after passing his teammate Lasek, finishing second overall in his Heat race.
