  • Portugal De Regresso Ao Mundial Gronholm Contra Loeb Armindo Araújo Estreia Wrc Espectáculo Anima Estádio Do Algarve
    Nº 1 de 29 de Março de 2007 PORTUGAL DE REGRESSO AO MUNDIAL GRONHOLM CONTRA LOEB ARMINDO ARAÚJO ESTREIA WRC ESPECTÁCULO ANIMA ESTÁDIO DO ALGARVE Vodafone Rali de Portugal O salto (tão) aguardado Foram precisos seis anos e muitas diligências para que, de novo, os ávidos espectadores portugueses tivessem a oportunidade de ver de perto os melhores pilotos do Campeonato do Mundo de Ralis. Aquele que já foi, por várias vezes, considerado o melhor rali do Mundo está de regresso à elite da modalidade, com o Algarve a assumir, agora, o papel de outrora desempenhado por Arganil, Fafe e demais catedrais do Rali de Portugal. Designado por Vodafone Rali de Portugal e a cargo do ACP Sport, a quinta ronda do calendário 2007 é, também, a primeira disputada em terra no continente europeu. Por entre o apurado trabalho desenvolvido continua na página seguinte Opinião Armindo Araújo Sem euforias Na sua estreia no Mundial de Ralis aos comandos de um World Rally Car, Armindo Araújo guarda os pés bem assentes na terra. Para o tetra-Campeão Nacional e participante no PWRC, o objectivo passa por melhorar troço após troço sem entrar em loucuras e tentar chegar onde não pode. Ainda assim, o público nacional espera muito de Armindo Araújo. Aqui fica a sua opinião: 1. Depois dos testes que fiz, sei que tenho um carro rápido, mas o que importa é no dia da prova comparar com a concorrência e, aí sim, ver onde realmente nos situamos em relação aos adversários. Sei que vou estava longe de me inspirar confiança. Os pneus foram substituídos e o para uma prova repleta de pilotos experi- carro ficou com um comportamento mais civilizado.

  • John Mulholland Motors Ulster Rally How Can This Be The
    The Loudon-clear guide to… John Mulholland Motors Ulster Rally How can this be the penultimate round of the British Rally Championship already? After a year away, the successful return of British rallying’s top flight has been the talk of 2016. The final two chapters both involve the Irish Sea. The last round runs on one of world motorsport’s most famous islands, the Isle of Man, but this week we’re overflying Douglas for a second trip of the season to Northern Ireland and the Ulster Rally. This rally offers a similar challenge to that of round two, the Circuit of Ireland, with the winner needing to find that perfect blend of speed and precision in what are likely to be some of the most changeable conditions and grip levels of the season. All eyes will, of course, be on Elfyn Evans as he chases a second British title for the Evans’ household, following father Gwyndaf’s 1996 success. But it’s also well worth keeping an eye on what’s certain to be another enthralling installment of the Junior BRC battle as homegrown heroes Rob Duggan and Gus Greensmith attempt to stave off the Nordic challenge of Sindre Furuseth and Mattias Adielsson. The rally ahead… MSA British Rally Championship round 6/7 Date: August 19/20 Based: Ebrington, Derry/Londonderry Service: Ebrington, Derry/Londonderry Stages: 14 Competitive distance: 133.86 miles (215.41km) Liaison distance: 287.69 miles (462.97km) Total distance: 421.55 miles (678.38km) Longest stage: Rousky (SS10/14) 15.88 miles (25.55km) Shortest stage: Butterlope (SS3/6) 4.36 miles (7.01km) Sunrise: 0612

  • The Loudon-Clear Guide To… RSAC Scottish Rally
    The Loudon-clear guide to… RSAC Scottish Rally Officially, Saturday is the RSAC Scottish Rally. But to you, me, and the wider world of British rallying, it’s The Scottish. It’s this country’s biggest rally and one no summer would be complete without. The Scottish has been running since 1961 and the list of winners is a real who’s who of world rallying. All three of the rallying McRaes: Jimmy, Colin and Alister won it, as did M-Sport World Rally Team boss Malcolm Wilson. And the Finns have had fair success north of Hadrian’s Wall too; Ari Vatanen, Hannu Mikkola, Pentti Airikkala, Simo Lampinen, Mikael Sundstrom and Tapio Laukkanen all took at least one win. Tommi Makinen might have four world titles, but he’s only for an F2 win on the Scottish… The event has evolved down the years and it’s no longer the race up and down the land it once was, but a Dumfries base still offers access to some of the world’s most wonderful woods. Stages like Twiglees and Castle O’er are part of British rallying legend and it’s fantastic to see the best of the British Rally Championship lining up there on Saturday morning. As you’d expect, there’s a bit of a family connection with the Scottish: my father (Fergus Loudon) scored his best result on this rally when he co-drove John Gray to 11th overall in a Group A Ford Sierra Cosworth in 1990. They finished just one place behind a certain Jimmy McRae, taking the award for top privateer crew.
