    INFORMATION PRESSE 25 août 2013 ADAC RALLYE DEUTSCHLAND 2013 Neuvième manche de la saison FIA WRC 2013 Nouveaux MICHELIN Pilot Sport H2 et S2 Une lumière dans la tempête L’ADAC Rallye Deutschland 2013 s’est achevé ce dimanche 25 août sous une météo capricieuse, la même qui a caractérisé l’intégralité de la neuvième épreuve du Championnat du Monde des Rallyes 2013. Plutôt dégagé jeudi et vendredi, couvert samedi jusqu’à l’arrivée de la pluie en début d’après-midi, le ciel n’a pas été le meilleur allié des pilotes. Le vainqueur de l’épreuve est celui qui a su être le plus rapide et le plus constant, tout en déjouant les pièges de la route. Il s’agit de Dani SORDO sur la CITROEN DS3 WRC N°3 du CITROEN Total ABU DHABI World Rally Team. Le pilote espagnol et son copilote Carlos DEL BARRIO remportent en Allemagne le premier rallye WRC de leur carrière, en disputant une épreuve sans faille. Quatrième à la fin de la première spéciale du rallye, très proches de ses devanciers Sébastien OGIER (Volkswagen Polo R WRC), Jari-Matti LATVALA (Volkswagen Polo R WRC) et Thierry NEUVILLE (FORD Fiesta RS WRC – Qatar World Rally Team), l’équipage ibérique a soumis ses adversaires à une pression constante au fil des chronos. Troisième après la sortie de route du pilote français de Volkswagen Motorsport vendredi… Deuxième samedi après-midi après la ES12 Stein & Wein 2, quand Jari-Matti LATVALA a été contraint à l’abandon par sa voiture endommagée lors de la ES11 Arena-Panzerplatte 1… Premier avec 0,8s d’avance sur Thierry NEUVILLE samedi après-midi à la fin de la ES13 Peterberg 2 (dernier chrono de la journée à cause de l’annulation de la ES14 Arena-Panzerplatte 2).

  • Motorsport Information
    Motorsport Information FIA World Rally Championship (WRC), Rally Portugal Volkswagen lines up with three Polo R WRCs for first time Wolfsburg (08 April 2013). Fourth rally, fourth first: Volkswagen will line up with three Polo R WRCs for the first time at the Rally Portugal. After a strong debut in the FIA World Rally Championship at January’s Rally Monte Carlo, the Polo R WRC then started its first event on ice and snow at the Rally Sweden in February, before making its first outing on gravel at high altitude at the Rally Mexico. From 11 to 14 April, the Rally Portugal will provide the stage for another first: Andreas Mikkelsen and Mikko Markkula (N/FIN) will make their debut in the third Polo R WRC – the number 9 car. They will be joined at the rally on the Algarve coast in southern Portugal by their Volkswagen team-mates: Jari-Matti Latvala/Miikka Anttila (FIN/FIN) and the winners of the rallies in Sweden and Mexico, Sébastien Ogier and Julien Ingrassia (F/F). “After three completely different rallies at the start of the season, the first ‘typical’ WRC rally awaits us in Portugal,” said Volkswagen Motorsport Director Jost Capito. “Tough gravel routes, spring temperatures and – unlike at the Rally Mexico – stages at just above sea level: we will probably come across the same kind of conditions at the coming rallies in Argentina, Greece and Italy. As such, the Rally Portugal provides us with another important indicator of what the Polo R WRC is capable of. Furthermore, we will also send a third driving pair into action at every rally from now on, in the form of Andreas Mikkelsen and Mikko Markkula.

    PRESSINFORMATION Marcus Thomasfolk Kontaktperson Informationschef 08 553 867 97 Telefon 070 35 896 57 Mobil [email protected] E-post 2013-03-07 Datum Ska Volkswagen upprepa Sverige-succén i Mexico? Efter årets första WRC-seger i Rally Sweden är det dags för Volkswagen att ta sig an det mexikanska VM-rallyt som startar idag. Med sträckor som går på 2700 meters höjd blir Rally Mexico säsongens högst belägna rally och en riktig utmaning för både förare och teknik. - Årets första tre rallyn är alltid lite speciella. Efter legendariska Monte och kalla Sverige ska vi nu hantera temperaturer på över 2000 meters höjd, säger Jost Capito, chef för Volkswagen Motorsport. - Rally Mexico är också årets första rally som går på grus. Det blir intressant att se hur konkurrenskraftig vår Polo R WRC är under de förhållandena. Förarna kommer att köra 394,9 kilometer fördelade på 23 specialsträckor. Den mest spektakulära inledningssträckan för säsongen väntar i kväll i Guanajuato. Platsen är en före detta silvergruva som är uppsatt på UNESCO:s världsarvslista. Volkswagen har fått en flygande start efter de två inledande WRC-tävlingarna. Sébastien Ogier, Frankrike, blev tvåa i Monte Carlo och segrade sedan i Rally Sweden. Det gör honom till total WRC-ledare, före landsmannen Sébastien Loeb, Citroën. - Jag var mycket nöjd med att vinna i Sverige. Vår teaminsats var fantastisk. Men det är gamla nyheter vid det här laget och nu är det dags för den första tävlingen på grus, här i Mexiko. För mig personligen är det lite speciellt att tävla just här. Det var här jag körde min första WRC-tävling, 2008, och jag vann mitt första race i Junior WRC-klassen.

  • PR MICHELIN ADAC Rallye Deutschland 2013 EN
    MEDIA INFORMATION August 25, 2013 ADAC RALLYE DEUTSCHLAND 2013 FIA World Rally Championship (Round 9) New MICHELIN Pilot Sport H2 and S2 tyres A light in the storm The 2013 ADAC Rallye Deutschland, which came to end this afternoon (Sunday, August 25) in Trier, Germany, was marked by mixed weather. The action on Thursday and Friday took place in predominantly sunny conditions, while Saturday morning was overcast before rain swept over the region from Saturday afternoon. The change didn’t facilitate life for competitors and the win ended up going to the crew who most successfully combined speed and consistency, while also steering clear of the ninth round’s notorious pitfalls. That crew was Dani SORDO/Carlos DEL BARRIO in the N°3 CITROEN DS3 WRC (CITROEN Total ABU DHABI World Rally Team). The Spaniard delivered a faultless run to collect the first world class victory of his career. He completed the week’s first stage in fourth position, on the heels of the other early pace-setters Sébastien OGIER (Volkswagen Polo R WRC), Jari-Matti LATVALA (Volkswagen Polo R WRC) and Thierry NEUVILLE (FORD Fiesta RS WRC - Qatar World Rally Team). The Spanish pair then started to apply increasing pressure as the rally progressed. They were promoted to third overall when Volkswagen Motorsport’s Ogier crashed on Friday morning, and appeared in second place after Saturday afternoon’s wet SS12 (‘Stein & Wein 2’) which saw Jari-Matti LATVALA crash out after previously damaging his car on SS11 (‘Arena- Panzerplatte 1’). Sordo then completed Saturday’s action in front, 0.8s clear of Thierry NEUVILLE after SS13 (‘Peterberg 2’, the last stage of the day following the cancellation SS14/’Arena-Panzerplatte 2’).
