Already for the fourth time the
European Rallycross elite will be in the PS Racing Center
Greinbach to guest. On the past weekend the new season in Lousada/Portugal
was opened. In the PS Racing Center is meanwhile already
everything prepared for the large Event.
The 13fache European champion
Kenneth Hansen has a fire-new vehicle available, which completed
only in the middle of April the first test kilometers with the
Citroen C4 T16 4x4. That did not prevent Sweden to bring in to the
season prelude in Lousada equal its first daily victory in the
division 1. Its hardest opponent was on this weekend the Frenchman
Jean Luc Pailler, which had to give 206 T16 up 4x4 prematurely
however in the final with a defect at the Peugeot. Rank two went
to Lars Larsson in the Skoda Fabia T16 4x4 before Rallycross
Heimkehrer Tommy Rustad in the Ford focus T16 4x4. Even if Rallye
legend by Eklund to the season prelude over rank eight did not
out-come, then the Swede is nevertheless at any time for a point
placement good. The Vorarlberger Willy salt giver in the previous
year with some EM runs much experience collected and knew the
season on that 15. Rank in the total valuation terminate. With the
first run in Portugal it drove with its Ford focus T16 4x4 on the
excellent tenth place. Together with Peter Ramler in the fire-new
Seat Leon T16 4x4, he carries domestic hopes in for the PS Racing
Center.
1A (group of A of vehicles until
1600 ccm with two-wheeler drive) one waits n of the division
strained for beginning Christian Petrakovits. After the total
victory in the Austrian championship and the FIA zone Trophy in
the previous year, the Grosspetersdorfer denies this year the
European championship. It sets thereby on a Seat Ibiza and could
already point out in Lousada its Potenzial. Although it did not
know as only the Topp pilots the distance yet, it was in the first
advance with rank six in the leading group. At the final it could
not due to a defective gasoline pump any longer participate and
had with rank eleven be content. On its home distance it would
like to advance in any case into the A-final of the best six, if
it remains exempted from defects is then everything possible. In
this division there is the largest power density with security.
The opponents will be above all the Belgian Michael De
Keersmaecker (OPEL Corsa), the Finn Jussi Pinomaeki (Renault
Clio), the poles Krzysztof Groblewski (VOLKSWAGEN Polo) and the
Czech Jaroslav Kalny (Peugeot 206).
As in the domestic championship of
the last years now the victory might lead across the Czech novel
Castoral (OPEL Astra OPC) also in the European championship of the
division 2 (series near group of N of vehicles). Its compatriot of
Toma Kotek (Honda Civic type R), as well as the two Sweden Mattias
Thoerjesson (OPEL Astra OPC) and Magnus Ericsson (Honda Civic type
R) rank among the Mitfavoriten. Novel Castoral dominated the
advances in Portugal and got themselves the poles position for the
A-final. There it had to give itself however with rank two behind
Mattias Thoerjesson contently.
