Despite having already won all the classifi­ cations in the FIA World Rally Championship (WRC)*, there was no let­up for Volkswagen ahead of the final round of this season’s WRC: the Rally Great Britain, from 14 to 17 November. Sébastien Ogier/Julien Ingrassia (F/F), Jari­Matti Latvala/Miikka Anttila (FIN/FIN) and Andreas Mikkelsen/Mikko Markkula (N/FIN) travel to Wales looking to head into the WRC winter break on the back of a strong team performance. The 2014 season kicks off as early as mid­January with the iconic Rally Monte Carlo. However, before the rally classic in the French Maritime Alps, the World Champions* from Wolfsburg must first face an equally iconic and challenging rally, held primarily on the slippery gravel roads winding through the Welsh forests. FIA World Rally Championship 05 Unlike in recent WRC history, this year’s rally will be based back in North Wales. This move also heralds the return of a number of popular special stages. None of the current crop of WRC drivers can call on any experience of stages such as “Gwydyr”, “Penmachno”, “Clocaenog” and “Penllyn”, which last featured as part of the British leg of the World Rally Championship back in the nineties. “The Rally Great Britain is a prestigious round of the World Championship, which every one of the drivers wants to win,” said Volkswagen Motorsport Director Jost Capito. “The conditions are unlike any of the other WRC rallies and pose a whole host of challenges. We have won nine of the twelve rallies so far, and would love to use that momentum to take a tenth winner’s trophy back to Wolfsburg with us. Every single member of the team is up for the Rally Great Britain, and looking forward to a successful end to the season, without the added pressure of battling for the World Championship.” Latvala/Anttila set sights on second place in the Championship Having won the past two rallies in Wales, they are now gunning for their third coup in succession: Jari-Matti Latvala/Miikka Anttila face a huge challenge with the Polo R WRC. The Finnish duo has set its sights on overtaking Thierry Neuville/Nicolas Gilsoul (B/B, Ford) in the overall standings at the season finale, and in doing so climbing into the runner­up spot in the Drivers’ and Co­Drivers’ Championship at the last minute. To pull this off, Latvala/Anttila must make up 14 points on their rivals – with a maximum 28 points up for grabs. * Subject to the official publication of the results by the FIA. 06 Technology The Polo R WRC – with all-rounder qualities Developing a competitive car for the FIA World Rally Cham- pionship (WRC) is an extremely complex task. One minute it is crouched low on smooth asphalt, the next it is travelling sideways on ice and snow, then it is tearing over rough gravel on tiptoes – on top of all that, you have searing heat at one event and icy cold at the next. No other type of international motorsport offers such a wide range of climatic conditions and different surfaces. The cars in the World Rally Championship must overcome all these obstacles. Take this fine example of the flexibility that must be demonstrated by the car’s concept: there is a difference of about 100 mm between the ground clearance for gravel and asphalt. The chassis and engine must be as efficient as physically possible in the multitude of different conditions. Strong enough to take the strain, light enough to guarantee the necessary performance. FIA World Rally Championship 07 A love of detail: development steps “powered by Wolfsburg” Every single component on the Polo R WRC underwent a series of fundamental processes on its way to attaining the “ready to race” status. First up was the theory: the parametric design process on CAD (computer aided design) systems is verified by computer­ aided simulations (e.g. CFD – computer fluid dy namics) and tested in practice in wind tunnels and the Volkswagen Group’s altitude environmental test chamber. Only then did the extensive test drives follow. The resources available in Wolfsburg play a key role in designing and testing the chassis. Volkswagen’s Design department made a significant contribution with valuable develop ment work focussing on crash tests and safety. Tests on the car in wet conditions were also made possible by the engin­ eers at the headquarters in Wolfsburg. The result, under the guidance of Volkswagen Motorsport, is a high­tech jigsaw consisting of about 3,000 pieces, of which 1,360 were designed from scratch for use in motorsport – not including the engine and gearbox. Nothing left to chance: state-of-the-art engine development When designing the Polo R WRC’s engine, which consists of around 300 individual parts, Volkswagen took a completely differ ent approach to that used in the development of the chassis. The result is the 315­hp, 1.6­litre engine. The automated interplay between CAD design and simultaneous simulation using CFD processes led, among other things, to the optimal design of the intake ports. Volkswagen took a strictly analytical approach to decisions for or against various concepts within the strict regu- lations of the World Rally Championship. 08 Technical specifications Volkswagen Polo R WRC Engine Type Straight­four engine with turbocharger and intercooling, transversally mounted in front of the front axle Displacement 1,600 cc Power output 232 kW (315 hp) at 6,250 rpm Torque 425 Nm at 5,000 rpm Bore/stroke 83.0 mm/73.8 mm Air restrictor 33 mm (FIA regulation) Power transmission Gearbox Sequential, six­speed racing gear box, transversally mounted Final drive Permanent four­wheel drive with fixed drive between the front and rear axles, multi­plate limited­slip differentials, front and rear Clutch Hydraulically actuated double­disk sintered metal clutch by ZF Chassis/suspension Front/rear McPherson struts, dampers from ZF Suspension travel approx. 180 mm on asphalt, approx. 275 mm on gravel Steering Servo­assisted rack and pinion steering Braking system Ventilated disc brakes (front Ø 355 mm on asphalt; front and rear Ø 300 mm on gravel) aluminium brake callipers (four callipers, front and rear) Wheels Size 8 x 18 inch for asphalt, 7 x 15 inch for gravel FIA World Rally Championship 09 Chassis/bodywork Length/width/height 3,976/1,820/1,356 mm Track width/wheelbase 1,610/2,480 mm Minimum weight 1,200 kg Performance Acceleration 0–100 km/h in approx. 3.9 seconds Top speed Up to approx. 200 km/h (depending on gear ratio) 10 Volkswagen Team Jari-Matti Latvala Date of birth 03/04/1985 (28) Place of birth Töysä (FIN) Domicile Tuuri (FIN) Hobbies Nature, sauna, films, historic rallies WRC victories 8 His father, Jari, had been racing in rallies since 1981, during which time the entire Latvala family became a true “rally family”.

I have been here every year since my very first WRC rally in 2002. Despite the weather, which is often poor and challenging, I have very fond memories of the rally. The layout and rhythm of the stages are unique.” FIA World Rally Championship 11 Miikka Anttila Date of birth 10/09/1972 (41) Place of birth Janakkala (FIN) Domicile Lempäälä (FIN) Hobbies Skiing, cycling, car restoration WRC victories 8 They have been through many highs and lows together: Miikka Anttila and Jari-Matti Latvala are a well-rehearsed team in the rally cockpit – and can always depend on each other 100 per cent.

It’s been a year of both triumph and, unfortunately, tragedy and in this issue we take time out to remember María de Villota, whose passing in October left a deep void not just in motor sport but in all our hearts. María’s bravery following her F1 testing accident and the dedication she displayed afterwards – not only in promoting female involvement in motor sport but also safety on the road and track – will be missed. Elsewhere, it was a year of great success for women competitors and in this edition we look at Lucile Cypriano’s victory in the VW and commission-supported shoot-out for a place in next year’s VW Scirocco R-Cup and reveal how the FIA European Rallycross Championship has become a haven for female racers.

So linking in again to my opening paragraphs in a round about way is the recent Havant swapmeet, which having attended and spoken to a few who were there, dealers, traders and buyers alike appears to have been a very successful event, and worthy of opening the swapmeet season both this year and hopefully beyond? Thanks and indeed congratulations I would say, to the organisers both Robert Learmouth and Steve Cannon for organising the event and I am sure who both put in considerable time and effort in doing so, particularly as it wasn’t just a swapmeet but also a informal gathering and meeting of a number of people who worked for Minimodels/ Scalex when they were based out of the Havant Factory, started by ‘Fred’ Francis all those years ago.

  • Hyundai Motorsport Targets Titles in 2019 FIA World Rally Championship
    Hyundai Motorsport targets titles in 2019 FIA World Rally Championship Hyundai Motorsport has outlined its ambitions to compete for the FIA World Rally Championship manufacturers’ and drivers’ titles in 2019 Revised crew line-up sees Thierry Neuville and Andreas Mikkelsen tackle the complete season with Dani Sordo scheduled for eight rounds and Sébastien Loeb for six. Under new Team Director Andrea Adamo, Hyundai Motorsport will contest its most comprehensive season in WRC to date with 14 rounds, including a new event in Chile. Birmingham, UK January 11, 2019 – On the eve of the official WRC season launch at the Autosport International show, Hyundai Motorsport has outlined its intentions to compete once again at the very forefront of the FIA World Rally Championship (WRC), with its sights set firmly on the manufacturers’ and drivers’ titles. The team finished as runners-up in 2018, for the third time in a row, having taken the title fight down to the wire. In one of the closest, most hotly contested seasons in recent years, a three-way battle was only concluded at the season finale in Australia. Running a revised crew line-up and with an extended calendar of 14 rounds in 2019, Hyundai Motorsport will aim to revisit the competitive form that helped it score three victories and 11 podium finishes last season. With WRC’s regulations remaining stable, the team has been able to evolve the technical foundations of its rally winning Hyundai i20 Coupe WRC. All aspects of the car have been rigorously assessed in order to perform consistently across all terrains in the coming season.

  • Motorsport Information
    Motorsport Information FIA World Rally Championship (WRC), Rally Spain Volkswagen are World Champions* – manufacturers’ title following one-two victory in Spain Wolfsburg (27 October 2013). Part two of the World Champions’ story: Volkswagen has won the manufacturers’ title in the FIA World Rally Championship (WRC) with an outstanding one-two victory at the Rally Spain. That means all the WRC titles* for 2013 will go to the car maker from Wolfsburg. Sébastien Ogier/Julien Ingrassia (F/F) claimed the Drivers’ and Co-Drivers’ crown three weeks ago at the Rally France. The French duo went on to score an impressive win – their eighth this season – ahead of their team-mates Jari- Matti Latvala/Miikka Anttila (FIN/FIN) at the “Rally de España”. As a result, Volkswagen has an unassailable lead in the Manufacturers’ Championship with one round still to go this season. Winning three titles in its debut year with the Polo R WRC is Volkswagen’s greatest motorsport achievement to date. Title wins that will go down in history – Volkswagen’s debut Volkswagen’s achievements in the 2013 WRC season are unparalleled. The German team clinched all of the titles in the top category of the FIA World Rally Championship (WRC) in its debut year – the Drivers’ and Co-Drivers’ Championship and the manufacturers’ trophy. No other manufacturer has managed to win a World Championship in its first year since the World Rally Championship began. Even in the history of Formula 1, no car maker has yet taken the title in its opening season through their own efforts. Volkswagen’s performance has exceeded all expectations.
