RDRC Season 5 - Rally World

[Viesturs Priede]

Last evening we were having some tests with the Lada, there were made some pictures as well but we will get back to that later. The most important is that we have managed to find and solve the problem with Lada`s electronic system. Even though we had a huge lack of time during these weeks, the sleepless nights we spent at garage has paid off, the Lada is once again ready for a race. Cant say Im looking forward for a good result here, only for a good rally, I think. Last evening we just tested last few things for the car it self, not so much the driving or pacenotes. During the night did last fine tuning to suspension and right now while Im here speaking my mechanics are putting Lada on trailer and in about 30 minutes we are heading to our service spot. I know its pretty late but to be honest, for a moment I actually thought me might miss the first TC so I think it has turned out pretty well after all.

So here are two pics from the little test.

..So yeah, good luck in the rally guys, I hope we are going to have a better luck, hope the Samara wont fail again, the aim is to have a rally without any big problems, just taking it easy without any pressure. See you on the track.

I saw that little "3D" button on the video, and happen to have a pair of anaglyph glasses within arms reach. That rear-mounted camera shot looked pretty cool in 3D.

I tried racing with iZ3D drivers a month or so back, but didn't really enjoy the lack of colours, boy I'd like a 3D monitor .

That jump montage and music was perfection, though.

After a rather shy winter series with a group N Mitsubishi, it was time to step up to a more competitive car. However, the available budget only allowed for a very dated Toyota Corolla WRC but I hope it will at least keep me in touch with the top RDRC-2 drivers.

 

[Ole Marius Myrvold]

Awesome! Just absolutely awesome! I like the touch of the old cars

 

[Roy Magnes]

...and I just realised you have a yellow rear-spoiler like all the RMI-cars have

 

[Daniel Monteiro]

That's true, but the rear spoiler is an exclusive sponsorship location for... Espa BOLLER!

EDIT: Off-topic: By the way guys, I am thinking of driving Rally Telemark next month so if you have any stickers you want to place on the car I'll drive, just find me there in service to put them. Free of charge of course

 

[Ole Marius Myrvold]

The best there is ;D And very fun for Danish people...

RACEDEPARTMENT Rally Team unveiled its 2013 Summer Series team liveries today, with David Jundt replacing Fernando Agapito in the team while Fernando is on hiatus. The team decided to have a change of car to the Fiesta WRC for the summer series to spice things up in the championship, as a vast majority of the RDRC drivers are competing in DS3 WRC.

And I like your "Pinky-tribute" Jack Just makes it even better!

Here are some shots from the first round of the Summer Series, the Coffs Harbour Rally in Australia.

Early morning, the start of the rally, before it all started to go crazy




And a few shots with the car intact in a couple of stages






Congratulations to the Winner, Tero. See you all in the next round!

We were actually thinking about you, "Pinky"

Btw: Notice how I have some different logos on my car

^^, I know! ^^,

But no Monteverdi or Deletraz anywhere to be seen

 

[David Jundt]

I don't think Monteverdi would be happy with a logo on a Ford

And "Davidcrash" is enough, no need for "Delecrash"

 

[Roy Magnes]

Team boss of RMI Motorsport, Roy Magnes, has taken a step down from driving a DS3 WRC to an old Group A-Celica for the summer series of the RDRC in 2013.

When asked to elaborate on this he said "We have already been on the podium this season, and thus securing us international seeding for next season. I never got really comfortable with the car, so with the goal completed I found that the fun-factor outweighed the desire to fight for the top honors, so I changed to a car that fullfilled that task in a better way than the DS3.

I have the doors open for 2014, but for the time being I am enjoying adding some diversity and sideways action to the startfield" he finished.

 

[Daniel Monteiro]

With black plates and everything, nice!

And his 37th car... or his 37th after he started count or something.
