More WRC rallies for Cave in 2009

One of the UK’s youngest world championship rally drivers, Tom Cave, has announced he will contest more WRC rallies in 2009 as he begins the next development phase of his career.

In 2008 the 17 year-old Welshman made history when he became the youngest ever entrant on Wales Rally GB. The rally was his first at world championship level but despite his relative lack of experience he scored a class win in a Group N Ford Fiesta ST.

In the first half of this year Cave will tackle a variety of rallies from the WRC as well as other British and European series, with the aim of building up his rally knowledge.

His WRC programme kicks off with April’s Rally Portugal and follows with the Acropolis Rally and Rally Poland. He will begin his ’09 campaign at the wheel of his Group N Fiesta, but if results go well he might take a step up into a more powerful car for the second half of the year.

A decision on this, and the WRC rallies he will tackle later in the season, will be made after Rally Poland.

“This year is all about gaining as much experience as possible on as many surfaces as we can,” said Tom. “That’s part of the reason we’ve chosen some of the most famous events in the sport. There were others that I initially hoped to compete in, such as Rally Finland, Rallye San Remo and Ypres but unfortunately I can’t yet, because I must be 18 to be able to enter and I won’t be until November of this year.

“The break at the mid-point of the season will allow us to take stock and decide how to approach the second half of the season. We may stick with the Fiesta or we may look to move on, depending on what options are available to us at that point,” he added.

Up to now the majority of Cave’s rallying has been done in Latvia, where rally driving is permitted from the age of 15. Cave has driven in the Latvian National Rally Championship for the last two years and competed on a Latvian international competition licence in Wales.

New Superspecial stage for Rally Poland

The organisers of Rally Poland have announced that a brand new Superspecial stage complex including permanent grandstands will be built in time for the country's inaugural WRC event in 2009.

The new Superspecial is a figure-of-eight configuration and will allow two cars to compete head-to-head. Building work is expected to begin at the end of February so the basic track can be run in June as part of this year's 65th Rally Poland, the third round of the European Rally Championship and fourth round of the Polish Rally Championship. The whole complex is due to be completed by January 2009.

Andrzej Witkowski, president of Polish Automobile and Motorcycle Federation said: "The new venue will make the competition yet more attractive. For rally sports fans it will be an excellent and safe arena from which to watch and admire the skills of the best drivers in Europe and - next year - the world."

Witowski also confirmed the event will continue to be based in the town of Mikolajki, in the north-east of the country, until 2014.

Rally Poland will step up to WRC status in June 2009 when it hosts host one of the 12 rallies that will make up the season. The gravel rally is expected to be part of the WRC on alternate years from then on.

gaidys tas WRC, Subaru nebedalyvauju... as skipin'u sita reikala

sh tas subaru - nevalina (privatininkai vis tiek bando riedeti), toyota jau seniai nedalyvauja, vis tiek paziurim
O siaip as irgi ta fakta paskelbus kalendoriu uzmaciau ir gvildenu minti, gal reikia kazka organizuot...
PS. jeigu ka pas mane 7 snukiai telpa

Jooo,rimtas renginys ir visai netoli, manau ir aš su savo kaliegom prisijungsim, aišku dar geras laiko tarpas iki to veiksmo.
Subaras dalyvauja ar nedalyvauja, nematau dėl to parkės: niekad nebuvau tos komandos fanas. Yra daug labiau nusipelniusių WRC serijos atstovų.
Jei organizuositės važiuot, galima bus pasiderint ir nuvaryt su visa chebra.
