wawa..naman mitsubishi kulelat na sa manufacturing ranking..kailangan ng
e upgrade yung kotse nila

**SubbieDoo** · August 9th, 2004 05:48 AM

hello ... I'm in New Zealand ...

every year na-nonood ako ng WRC dito, and sa totoo lang ... mas-realistic ito kaysa sa F1 *bleh*

ok, dito ako pumupunta para ma alam ko kung saan ang next rally ... www.wrc.com

as for rules and regulations (as per request by someone :D)

simple ...
- cars should not weigh less than 1250KG dry
- 2L, 4cyl engines only
- all cars have a 32mm (or 35mm) restrictor to the turbo outlet (to regulate air flow kahit malaki ang turbo)
- the car shape or body must be a production car of at least 2500 units (even if they dont have 4wd in real life like the Citroen, Ford, Peogeot)
- all cars should have a Cat converter
- they all use control methanol for gas
- max of 300hp for all WRC cars (also for Group N and A cars)

and, if you want to make one for yourself (engine bay rebuild, electronic diffs, 6spd semi-auto gearbox, etc) it will cost at least 500,000 UK Pounds each :D

well ... kailangan na lang nila mag-pullout ... like Toyota hahaha :D SUBARU FOREVER!!! :freak:

kulelat na sila ever since lumabas yung Evo6 eh, bumigat ng bumigat ang kotse nila or hindi na maganda ang handling kaya mabagal

Skoda, dapat ang pagmasdan ninyo (by the way, Rally Finland this weekend!!!) coz sa tingin ko mangunguna ito after like 1-2 yrs, VW ang may hawak sa Skoda kaya maraming datung

**kiper** · August 9th, 2004 03:36 PM

Oo nga...masmasarap manood nyan kaysa sa F1..hindi nakakabore!! masmaaksyon pa..

**usokpower** · August 9th, 2004 09:47 PM

MIchael Schumacher actually rode with Petter Solberg of subaru last year.

Pag baba nya sa oto he was jumping up and down. Hehe, he even said:

"THESE GUYS ARE EVEN CRAZIER THAN US"

wala raw ka safety safety, etc.

**iqaruzz** · August 10th, 2004 03:51 PM

iba naman ang type ng pagdadrive kasi eh.
momentum at inertia ang rally eh ang f1 grip at horsepower.

para kang walang control kapag nasa gravel na.
mas nakakatakot kapag nasa snow.

the track also makes it more scarier. In a f1 circuit, if you go off track youll find yourself either in the gravel or go straight to the tire barriers.

In WRC WALA. either you hit a rock, tree, snow bank, spectators, other rally cars na nag stall, etc.. . Nakakatakot talaga. Nakita nyo ung car ni markko martin sa argentina? running at 174kph on a slight uphill. bumanga yung rear tire sa rock and the car flipped.

Yep, the driving makes it more dangerous. Drift driving requires delicate control and proper technique. Konting mali lang game over.

According to petter solberg theyre physical training is much tougher than what f1 drivers undergo.

**iqaruzz** · August 12th, 2004 04:54 PM

yeah actually totoo yan. last time na nag wrc rito sa NZ ang gagaling nang mga driver.. typical na back road ang mga dinadaanan. miski sanay na ako sa ganong kalye nakakatakot parin kapag mabilis.
pero masaya..

On the contrary, not necessarily because the platform is riddled with issues. Actually since this is a "new" car, a learning curve will be expected before they become competitive.

If you guys want to witness some rallye action.
Sept 18 CCP grounds across World Trade Center, 8am-5pm.

alang problema yun ... sagot namin ni iqaruzz and transpo :D ... kung gusto mo, pewede rin "maligaw" sa rally track ... palusot na lang natin na mali ang nalikuan ... ang susunod na Rally NZ ay sa first week ng April 2005 so medyo matagal pa kung may aayusin ka pa!

kung gusto nyo ng time table kung kailan palalabas ang WRC sa AXN channel sa Pinas, check nyo na lang ang TV schedule sa www.wrc.com

depende kung saan mo gustong magstay. kung sa main city ng auckland mahal talaga. mas makakamura ka kapag may mga contact kang pamilya na pupuwede mong tiran.

like subbie doo said, kami ang bahala sa transport. dala ka nalang ng baon.

**usokpower** · September 27th, 2004 09:55 PM

Ang lufet ng wales rally!

Although im a subaru fan i hate to say that sebastian loeb is better than petter solberg after watching rally wales.

IMO, Petter may be slightly better than sebastian in terms of driving technique, but loeb is more fluid than him, he can adapt much better in changeable conditions. Loeb is known as the tarmac king but now he is a bit faster than solberg in gravel (solberg territory)

But a serious contender would be francois duval of ford. in german rally he managed to cut loebs lead by 40sec while in wales rally he posted fastest lap times in certain stages. siguro one more year baka masmabilis pa siya kay loeb.

iqaruzz:

thanks! Ill let you know kung matutuloy ko

**eVo-XTreme** · September 27th, 2004 11:16 PM

sana bumalik si tommi makkinen sa wrc para sya na lang magpapanalo sa mitsubishi!

**iqaruzz** · September 30th, 2004 01:49 PM

TALAGA?
sana lumabas na evo ix tommi version.. cant wait.

**mazdamazda** · November 21st, 2005 10:27 AM

astig yung rally australia... daming DNF mula sa mga top drivers!

sayang si McRae in a Skoda... hindi natapos ng crew ikabit yung bago niyang clutch!

**JohnM** · November 21st, 2005 10:38 AM

Napaiyak yung co-driver ni McRae. Sayang talaga. A podium finish would have been a great morale boost for Skoda.

Muntik na ring mapaiyak si Petter. Darn kangaroos :D
