Swrc 2011
The most important support championsip in WRC will continue to be SWRC and hopefully we will see lots of interesting competitors. So far we have atleast 4 drivers confirmed:
Juha Hänninen - Red Bull Skoda team - Skoda Fabia Hermann Gassner Jr - Red Bull Skoda team - Skoda Fabia Bernardo Sousa - Team Ford/Quanta de Lorde - Ford Fiesta Ott Tänak - ? - ? |
not very impressive to be honest....Hanninen can win against those people with his hands tied to his legs and his head in a grocery bag...
of course there is always the possibility to pull a ketomaa come second in a 1 horse race. |

Hermann Gassner Jr - Red Bull Skoda team - Skoda Fabia Bernardo Sousa - Team Ford/Quanta de Lorde - Ford Fiesta Ott Tänak - ? - ? Martin Prokop - ? - Ford Fiesta Eyvind Brynildsen - ? - ? |
im 100% sure that Tänak uses Fiesta. The one MM-Motorsport got from Katap racing.
|
Prokop was busy testing the Mini WRCar and Fiesta WRcar. He has no plans (or budget?) to upgrade?
|
Hey what about Nasser Al-Attiyah and Pons?
|
Pons = Spanish Rally Championship with the Fiesta S2000
|
No WRC program?
|
Wil the Teams World Cup championship return also, or just the S-WRC for drivers?
|
Only drivers
|
tanak has signed a long term contract with ford
he will be using m-sport fiesta px59 avu which was pons championship winning car the car is owned by m-sport and has been since portugal , originally owned by nupel racing but then part ex back against 01 focus . pons hired a car for the season . car currently being rebuilt for mexico. tanak getting support but being run under mm motorsport banner also it really annoyes me how negative people like ' NOT ' bout standards of drivers , yes it isnt as good a championship as it was 10-15 years ago but slagging people off isnt going to make it better . the wrc is a business and if people are going to pay citreon or ford £2-3 million people like malcolm are not going to turn them away back to the swrc , i witnessed ketoma s driving this year and he is a talent no doubt if you can lead hanninen in finland for most of first day till you have car issues and are late out of service , great driver |

Dont mind about NOT. He has been always like that and will be in the future. Sometimes he is right... often he is wrong... take him as a background noise.. you know, when you drive on the tarmac with studded tires, you can hear specific noise..it is a bit annoying but you can get use to it :-P |

And bluuford, that studded tyres analog was spot on. When you hear that noise in the middle of the summer, you just think why can't people change - their tyres or annoying characteristics - in time. It will be interesting to see how Tänak performs in the SWRC. He for sure has the rough talent, and it also is about the time to get another Estonian name to top 10 boards. What's up with Urmo Aava by the way? Is Markko Märtin still on Tänak's background? I saw Markko suddenly jump out of M-Sport's tent in Rally Finland's SP, perhaps he was already then talking these deals? It was by the way very odd to see how Markko blended in to the crowd at the service park, considering he still was one of the biggest names in early 2000s. |

Markko is still backing Tänak. |
Has BRR announced the SWRC rallies that Hanninen and Gassner jr will start?

Hello guys and Happy New Year,
So, can we have an early list of competitors here? I guess: Hanninen-Fabia Gassner Jr.-Fabia Sousa-Fiesta Tanak-Fiesta Ketomaa????-Fiesta??? Anyone else? It seems pretty good to me.. |
