Took me a while to find this thread again, apparently there is a separate rallying section of PH now and its there instead of general motorsport... when did that happen?

Details released today for the Roger Albert Clark Rally , 340 stage miles starting in South Wales and the last day in Kielder before the finish in Carlisle . What I found shocking was the 5K entry fee , take in a car refresh , tyres , fuel, service crew , hotels etc etc what is the budget before turning a wheel in anger ? Crazy money IMHO

But its 5 days and 320 miles. Don't look up how much it was to do Wales rally GB which was about 190 miles and only 3 days. Its not an event you do every year, Some people are now building cars just for it, The money is about.
I see the TER series is spreading its wings beyond Europe and including Otago as a TER round this season too (some Paddon influence there I expect).
Will be interesting to see if that brings more European entries, it normally gets plenty of international entries for the classics but not so much the modern classes.

Gowan the Breen!!
I missed todays action but God I hope he does it. Great way to shut his doubters up, a tarmac specialist leading a snow rally, beating the guys who grew up on it! Especially if he beats the man that replaced him on Breens debut in the car.
Yes he has great road position but given some treated Loubet and Lappi as the second coming for doing decently last year with good road position I can do the same for him!
Only 30 odd seconds separates the top 6 to it's anyones game really, currently Breen leading followed by Tanak, Lappi, Evans, Rovanpera and Neuville.

Tyre delamination's causing havoc.
Lappi had one and it put him into a bank, no damage but lost 7 minutes, Neuville has moved into third about 20 seconds off first.
Breen had one and it really damaged his left front wing and the splitter so he hemorrhaged time to Tanak who in turn had a delamination as well. However Tanaks happen very close to the end of the stage and did no damage so now leads the rally by 8.7.
Really, really hope Breen can go after Tanak tomorrow, he's got the pace to do it, 60 KM left!

One stage to go! Have to say it's been a cracking contest so far. I am a big fan of Rally Sweden and it hasn't disappointed.
Sorry Breen fans, but c'mon Ott, let's finish it off. Big big result that would be for the health of the championship.
Balls to Ott !!Sorry Breen fans, but c'mon Ott, let's finish it off. Big big result that would be for the health of the championship.
