Well here is the calender for the ARC

2007 NEC Australian Rally Championship Calendar

Rd 1. coates Rally Queensland - 31 March - April 1
Rd 2. Quit Forest Rally - 28 -29 April
Rd 3. Rally of Canberra - 2-3 June
Rd 4. Toyota Rally SA - 10-12 Aug
Rd 5. Rally of the Great Lakes - 15-16 September

I think Zetec and I are going to head over to Rally of Canberra like we did last year. Happy its not in March because it was extremly hot. Also we will attend Rally of Melbourne. Channel 10 will host the highlights of the rounds on a Sunday I'm guessing. I know that SBS now holds the tv rights to WRC.

Hmmm, 330bhp 2.3L fwd Fiesta. Sounds like a recipe for fun.

Ives · 23-03-2007, 08:16 PM

^^^ HA! the engine itself cost more than the car.

But how many v6's can you beat with that engine. Don't worry about the price.

**Fordman1** · 24-03-2007, 09:37 AM

That looks great !

I can't wait to see the whole car & some action pics..

Scareybear · 24-03-2007, 03:58 PM

0xyg3n · 24-03-2007, 04:22 PM

Does anyone know what engine specs they are using for the s2000 spec car.

Ives · 24-03-2007, 04:59 PM

The specs should be released in due time.

Piotr · 25-03-2007, 01:13 AM

S2000 rally cars have around 270-280hp and are rev limited to 8500rpm.

Photo's of the cars first test are now online

Ives · 29-03-2007, 05:00 PM

Sweet! I hope it's all good.

FOCUSonTHIS · 31-03-2007, 10:29 AM

Some bad news on the first stage of the Coates Rally of Queensland. Pirtek Rally Team drive Darren Windus has cracked his gearbox housing 1km in on the first stage. Michael Guest has got his Super2000 Fiesta in 5th place only 52 seconds behind the leader. The other Super2000 Corolla is in 3rd place. So hopefully Guest can make up some time.

Also have some other pictures of the car from Shakedown

FOCUSonTHIS · 31-03-2007, 02:24 PM

Micheal Guest have moved up to 4th place following a problem on a stage with the other Super 2000 corolla

Danny · 31-03-2007, 02:51 PM

Thats a good start

TheColonel · 31-03-2007, 11:43 PM

Anyone going up for a look tomorrow?

Fast Eddie · 01-04-2007, 11:43 AM

I had a look at rally.com.au/results and Darren Windus is 5th Outright 1min38sec behind leader, Simon Evans. No mention where Michael Guest is placed though.

Adam Laws · 01-04-2007, 12:08 PM

Michael's car had power steering problems this morning which meant he has missed a stage. We will get it back out there this afternoon for more reliability testing...

Here is a pic for those who like air time
