They both have an impressive record with two world championship titles respectively to their credit and both Loeb (Citroën Xsara WRC) as well as Grönholm (Ford Focus RS WRC 06) will arrive in Catalunya eager to fight for the leadership of the World Rally Championship. Chances to win Sébastien Loeb - It will be difficult although I Marcus Grönholm - The Catalan race will be a hope to be able to clinch my second win in a big battle, but I’m sure that there are going to be row at the RallyRACC. After the first races, we more riders apart from Sébastien Loeb and me have been able to see that Marcus feels very with a chance to win.

  • The Ford Focus RS WRC 07: New Technology in Detail
    PRESS INFORM ATION BP-Ford debuts new Focus RS World Rally Car in Finland Warwick (UK), 19th of July 2007 - Reigning FIA World Rally champion BP-Ford will strengthen its challenge for the 2007 manufacturers' and drivers' titles when the latest specification Focus RS World Rally Car makes its debut in Finland next month. The Focus RS WRC 07 features improvements in several key areas and will be piloted by Marcus Grönholm and Timo Rautiainen and team-mates Mikko Hirvonen and Jarmo Lehtinen on all eight remaining rounds of the 2007 championship. Four victories on the opening eight rounds of the series have enabled BP-Ford World Rally Team to build a 28-point lead in the manufacturers' series in the quest to retain its 2006 title. Grönholm is nine points clear in the drivers' standings. The new car is an evolution of the hugely successful 2006 version with development principally concentrating on the engine, bodyshell and weight saving. The work has been led by Christian Loriaux, the team's innovative technical director based at M-Sport – the British- based company which handles the day-to-day operations of the team in partnership with Ford. The car has been tested by both drivers in Italy, Spain and Finland in advance of its debut on Rally Finland (2 - 5 August), round nine of the 2007 championship. "The opening half of the season has been successful for us," said Jost Capito, director of Ford TeamRS and responsible for the Blue Oval's European motorsport programmes. "The 2006 car won 12 of the 25 rallies it started, which is a remarkable strike rate, and one that we would like to emulate with the new car during the second part of the season.

  • Rally Sweden Hello. So, Snow. Except This Time the Story's About The
    The Loudon-clear guide to… Rally Sweden Hello. So, snow. Except this time the story’s about the snow’s Swedish no- snow. It’s a huge shame that the recent warm weather has conspired to take the edge off what has to be one of the biggest sporting spectacles of the season: World Rally Cars dancing on ice. The World Rally Championship is full of stop-you-in-your-tracks moments and the sight of a World Rally Car on the lock-stops – front corner nibbling a snowbank at the apex while the opposite corner leans on a wall and fires powder 15 feet in the air – is right up there. Right up there. But it’s not to be this time. The warm weather has forced a complete rethink of the route and even blizzard conditions for the rest of the week wouldn’t be enough to deliver the perfect winter rally. Recipe for perfect winter roads: heavy (like heavy, heavy) snow, semi-melt, deep-freeze, light snow shower. The semi-melt puts moisture into the road and snow base which, when frozen hard, provides a rock-solid ice base for the studded tyres to dig into. The freeze will also pack the snowbanks really hard, allowing the guys to go a gear higher through some corners. We’re missing a couple of elements of that recipe this week! This week will be about staying out of trouble and keeping as many studs in place as possible. That in itself provides an intriguing event, however. Let’s see who can drive smart as well as super-quick in these compromised and challenging conditions.

  • Rally Australia Showcases One of the Most Beautiful Regions of Australia
    The Tunnock’s guide to… Coates Hire Rally Australia Welcome from Rally Australia organisers: Rally Australia showcases one of the most beautiful regions of Australia. Located between the Pacific Ocean and rainforest-clad mountains, the Coffs Coast enjoys a sub-tropical climate all year round; in particular, the spring weather in September will be delightfully warm. Tourism and rural industries, including cattle-raising, wine-making and the iconic banana plantations that cover the local hillsides underpin a vibrant economy. But for rally people, perhaps the immediate attraction is the sporting challenge of the Rally Australia roads. Competitors widely praised last year’s special stages. The 50-kilometre Nambucca stage was hailed as one of the best in the world and I’m pleased to confirm it remains in the 2015 itinerary. Yet we have listened to feedback in making further improvements. There are three new Friday stages in the Nambucca region that we believe are the most exciting we’ve offered on the Coffs Coast event – surpassing even the Nambucca stage itself – plus a traditional night stage in the countryside to close Saturday’s leg, a first for Rally Australia, and a new stage on Sunday. The new stages are fast, technical and set in beautiful forest and open country. The itinerary, based around the same Coffs Harbour Service Park, remains one of the most compact and efficient on the WRC calendar. Dates and data: FIA World Rally Championship round 10/13 WRC – WRC2 Date: September 10-13, 2015 Based: Coffs Harbour, New South Wales Service:
