OPENING SHOT The WRC RallyRACC Rally Spain was a beautiful combination of asphalt and gravel, challenging its competitors. Picture: Volkswagen Motorsport MIKKO AND JARMO: GOODBYE Words: H&H Pictures: WorldRallyPics Mikko Hirvonen has decided to hang up his rally helmet at the end of the 2014 WRC season. Looking back on the Finn’s celebrated career and the countless successes he and co- driver Jarmo Lehtinen achieved alongside the team, we gaze down memory lane... Having formed an instrumental part of the M-Sport squad in 2003, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2014, Mikko and Jarmo gave almost a decade of dedication to the Blue Oval squad. The pairing were instrumental in securing Ford’s back-to-back World Rally Championship titles in 2006 and 2007 and delivered 14 victories behind the wheel of M-Sport machinery. Throughout their celebrated career, the duo has accumulated 259 stage wins, 68 podiums and 1,192 World Rally Championship points. They fi nished as runner-up in the drivers’ and co-drivers’ championships on three separate occasions and were one of nine-time World Champion Sébastien Loeb’s most fearsome rivals. M-Sport Managing Director, Malcolm Wilson OBE, said: “Mikko and Jarmo have given the team so much over the years and I look back on our time together with a lot of very happy memories. They formed one of the sport’s most successful partnerships and we shall not forget their talent, determination and commitment. They were instrumental in securing back-to-back World Rally Championships for Ford and each of their 14 victories with us holds a lot of very special memories. A lot of crews have passed through our doors, but few were held in as high a regard as Mikko and Jarmo who have always been immensely popular members of the team. I speak for everyone at M-Sport when I thank them for everything we achieved together and wish them every success and happiness for the future.” Head of Ford Racing in Europe, Gerard Quinn, said: “Over the years it has been a real pleasure to work with Mikko [Hirvonen] in the FIA World Rally Championship (WRC). Both he and Jarmo [Lehtinen, co-driver] left a lasting impression on Ford racing history and became our most successful Ford pairing in the WRC with 14 victories to their name. We worked together on the development of the [Ford] Fiesta RS WRC and my proudest moment was when they took the car to victory on its fi rst outing at Rally Sweden in 2011 – one of the toughest events on the WRC calendar. Always willing to share their experiences, Mikko and Jarmo were fi rm advocates of our junior programmes – assisting with the training of the next generation of drivers and co-drivers. Safety in the sport of rally is paramount and I also know how passionately both have supported the campaign for safety in rally as well as on the public roads. I wish them every success in their new ventures and thank them both for being professional ambassadors of the Ford brand.” 06 H&H •• 07 H&H ••• SORDO SIGNS WITH HYUNDAI Words: H&H Pictures: Hyundai Motorsport Hyundai Motorsport GmbH announced this week that Spanish driver Dani Sordo signed a two-year agreement to remain as one of the team’s drivers in 2015 and 2016 alongside Thierry Neuville. The 2014 season has been a learning year for the nascent Hyundai Motorsport team, and Sordo has played a key role in the squad’s continued development. He took a memorable podium in Germany, helping the team to secure an impressive one-two in just its ninth WRC event. Confi rmation of his appointment alongside Neuville for 2015 will give the team a strong pair of drivers, who will push each other to help the team progress yet further next season – and beyond. Details of exactly which events Sordo will contest next year will be confi rmed in due course, although it is expected that the Spaniard will take part in at least ten rounds of the Championship. Dani Sordo said: “I am delighted to be continuing my partnership with Hyundai Motorsport following a very successful debut season working together. We have shown great promise with the Hyundai i20 WRC this year and we will never forget the one-two result at Rallye Deutschland, which was a truly special moment. It is a great team of dedicated, passionate individuals and I look forward to continuing our learning curve in the competitive world of rally.” Team Principal Michel Nandan commented: “Dani has demonstrated impressive consistency this season on different types of terrain. He has shown himself to be quick in different circumstances, in the face of challenges and, most importantly, to be a valued team player. We are pleased to continue our collaboration with him into 2015 and 2016. Next season, he will take part in at least ten WRC events, alongside Thierry, before a full season in 2016. Our driver line-up for next season is very strong and we have seen the results of the partnership between Dani and Thierry already this year in Germany, where we celebrated our fantastic one-two. Let’s hope this is the start of similar celebrations in the future.” 09 H&H •• PRODRIVE AND THE RALLY GOLF Words: H&H Pictures: Prodrive Prodrive has developed a new rally car based on the latest Volkswagen Golf Mark VII. The Golf SCRC has been designed for the FAW-VW Rally Team for the Chinese Rally Championship and will make its debut in the series this weekend at the Longyou Rally with Chris Atkinson driving. Prodrive developed the all-new car in less than six months and while it has not been designed to FIA regulations, many of the major components are the same as those found in current World Rally Cars, while the roll cage and safety features encompass the latest FIA standards. “We have very much built the car to the spirit of the WRC regulations, but with the Chinese Rally regulations in mind,” said John Gaw, Prodrive Motorsport managing director. “There is more freedom in the Chinese regulations and that has helped us to create this car in such a short time frame. However, while the fi rst cars will initially compete in China, the car can readily be modifi ed to compete in most ‘open’ class rally series, of which there are many in Europe, Asia and North America.” One of the key differentiators between the Golf SCRC and current World Rally Cars, is that it has a two-litre turbocharged engine with a 35mm restrictor, compared to the 1600cc 33mm restricted engines found in the WRC. However, the drivetrain is WRC-spec and features the same six-speed sequential Xtrac WRC gearbox and rear differential found in most of the current World Rally Cars. The cars aero, and in particular the composite rear wing, were all developed in-house. The bodywork is predominantly the standard steel panels from a fi ve door Golf, but with specially developed fl exible carbon composite front and rear bumpers and wings. These impact resistant panels are far more durable and help maintain the aerodynamic performance at the front. The Golf SCRC has Macpherson strut suspension front and rear with Prodrive-Ohlins dampers and hydraulic compression stops. Many of the suspension components, including the anti-roll bars and uprights, are interchangeable front to rear to minimise the number of spares. The car also has a standard AP Racing WRC brake package. As Prodrive did successfully with its MINI RX, the Golf could be re-engineered for use in the FIA World Rallycross championship or the GRC in North America. Indeed, the base two-litre engine is the same unit as currently used by Mattias Ekstrom in his Audi RX. The VW Golf means that during its 30 years, Prodrive has now made rally cars with seven different manufacturers, the others being: Porsche, MG Rover, BMW, Subaru, Aston Martin and MINI.

  • MICHELIN Tyres Cover All the Conditions on 2017 Rallye Monte-Carlo
    MEDIA INFORMATION 2017 FIA World Rally Championship (WRC) Round 1: Rallye Monte-Carlo MICHELIN tyres cover all the conditions on 2017 Rallye Monte-Carlo The opening clash of the 2017 FIA World Rally Championship saw Sébastien Ogier and Julien Ingrassia celebrate their maiden appearance for M-Sport with victory in Monaco. Varied, complex conditions ensured that the famous Rallye Monte-Carlo lived up every bit to its reputation. The season’s difficult opener proved a tense affair from start to finish as the latest-generation World Rally Cars made their first public appearance. More spectacular and more powerful, the new machines thrilled the huge crowds that lined the event’s 17 challenging stages which provided a total competitive distance of more than 380km. As ever, the conditions were rarely consistent from one loop to the next and were even highly varied on individual tests. “We had to cover the whole spectrum of typical Monte Carlo conditions,” said Jacques Morelli, the manager of Michelin’s World Rally Championship programme. “It was cold throughout, and the crews also had to contend with fresh and melting snow, ice and frost, as well as dry and wet asphalt. This year’s Rallye Monte-Carlo lived up its promise and delivered all the ingredients expected of the rally, which in turn made tyre choices extremely difficult. The teams were naturally able to count on their previous experience of the rally, but Michelin’s technicians were once again invaluable allies in the decision-making process.” While only two types of tyre are available for all the other rounds of the WRC (asphalt and gravel), the unique characteristics of the Rallye Monte Carlo necessitate four different solutions to cover all the bases.

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.

  • 1968 − 1984 Colin: the Busy Baby by Margaret Mcrae
    1968 − 1984 Colin: the busy baby by Margaret McRae Colin Steele McRae was born on August 5, 1968. It was a Monday. He was born in the William Smellie Maternity Hospital in Lanark. And he was a much-wanted child – a first grandchild for my parents, however Jim’s mum and dad already had two. It’s from Jim’s mum that Colin took the name Steele – it was her maiden name. We were living in Blackwood, about five miles from Lanark, in those days. And it was to the house in Vere Road, Blackwood that we would have taken Colin home – if we hadn’t still been renovating the cottage at the time. Instead, we went and stayed with my parents for two or three weeks while we finished the work on the house. This was actually quite a God-send as my dad wasn’t feeling too well at the time and having a newborn baby in the house really took his mind off things. He spent all of his time, just focused on the baby. Right from the off, Colin was a busy baby and, unfortunately for us, not a baby to whom sleep came easily or quickly. I think he stayed in our room for about seven weeks, before we knew the time had come for him to go into his own room. I don’t think Colin really slept through the night completely for about two years. Alister, his younger brother, was something of a revelation by comparison and slept really quickly. It’s fair to say, Colin wasn’t an easy baby.

Gathering a group of similar machines together at some willing rolling road always makes for pretty interesting reading – and particularly the owner’s reactions after what can all too often be a disappointing power run. The textbook line is usually ‘I’m gutted, I thought it would make over 300bhp,’ when their pride and joy has actually made just 187 bhp. On the face of it, who’d argue with this disappointed punter’s line of thinking? After all, they’ve probably spent thousands of pounds on all the right tuning goodies, plus they ‘had a mate on an internet forum who’s told me it must be really quick, because his brother said so, and he worked at Prodrive once, and he knows what he’s talking about…’ Month in, month out, you see this sort of tale repeated across all sectors of the performance tuning market, and it never fails to amuse, because it’s a classic case of putting the component-expenditure cart before the testing horse. Despite melting his credit card by splashing out on tuning goodies our disappointed punter forgot to spend just 50-75 pounds having his car tested on a rolling-road, which could well have made a crucial difference to its ultimate performance.

    Motorsport Information FIA World Rally Championship (WRC), Rally Spain Champions, champions, champions, champions*! Ogier/Ingrassia claim fourth WRC title in a row with Volkswagen § Crowned with a win: Ogier/Ingrassia wrap up world title after eleven rallies § Title defence sees champions join Kankkunen and Mäkinen in exclusive club § Match point number two for Volkswagen in the Manufacturers’ Championship Wolfsburg (16 October 2016). Sébastien Ogier/Julien Ingrassia (F/F) were crowned World Rally Champions for the fourth time in a row after taking victory at the Rally Spain. They guided their Volkswagen Polo R WRC to a fifth win of the season in Catalonia, finishing ahead of Dani Sordo/Marc Martí (E/E, Hyundai) und Thierry Neuville/Nicolas Gilsoul (B/B, Hyundai). Their ninth podium in eleven races triggered wild celebrations. The Frenchmen can no longer be caught at the top of the overall standings in the 2016 FIA World Rally Championship (WRC). Team-mates Andreas Mikkelsen/Anders Jæger (N/N) went into the Rally Spain as their closest rivals in the title race, but the Norwegians’ hopes of winning the championship were dashed when they were forced to retire from the rally. Eighth place in the Manufacturers’ classifications for Jari-Matti Latvala/Miikka Anttila (FIN/FIN) means Volkswagen is well- placed to claim its fourth Manufacturers’ title in a row next time out at the Rally Great Britain. Kankkunen, Mäkinen and Ogier – up there with the biggest names in rallying 952 days in a row at the top of the table: Sébastien Ogier is only the third World Rally Champion to be crowned champion four years in a row in the pinnacle of rallying, and the fourth four-time world champion in the history of the FIA World Rally Championship (WRC).
