Manx International Rally 2003
Aga noh, saaks ta selle ralli lõpuni, kogemusi vaja hädasti ja 20 lisakatset veel sõita. Arvan, et kui mingit jama ei teki, siis Jonny M. jääb talle püüdmatuks.
See ei ole võimalik kahjuks, kuna kõik 4 Hyundaid Saksamaal olid EVO 3-d, aga BRC on selline tore reegel, et WRC masin ei tohi olla homologeeritud käesoleval või eelmisel aastal, sellepärast sõidab ka Latvala 2001 spec masinaga. Aga Accent EVO 3 on homologeeritud 2002 aastal, seega on Birdi masin EVO 2. Pealegi number ei klapi Schwarzi või Loixi Saksa masinatega.Carlos kirjutas:Kui ma nüüd väga ei eksi, siis Bird pidi rajale minema Saksamaa rallil kasutatud tehase Hyundaiga. Vähemalt nii oli juttu paar nädalat tagasi.
Numbri järgi on Schwarzi auto Monte Carlost 2003. Aga vaata seda ka:
After a string of impressive performances since acquiring his own Hyundai Accent WRC just over six months ago, Paul Bird has been handed a unique opportunity to drive the very latest factory version on the Manx International Rally later this month.
The owner of the MonsterMob Ducati British superbike team - which currently leads this year's championship in the hands of Shane 'Shakey' Byrne - elevated himself to inside the top thirty of the UK rankings with some great drives, and such is his association with Motor Sport Developments who run the car, a deal has been struck to contest the Manx in a full factory Evo 3.5.
"It will be either [Freddy] Loix's or [Armin] Schwartz's car which they will have used on the Rallye Deutschland the week previously - and MSD has given me the okay to use whichever one they decide on," Bird revealed, "It's a fantastic opportunity and I'm counting the days already to prove that I'm capable of driving a proper car. It may be I never get the opportunity again so I'm grasping it with both hands."
Bird's own car, of Evo 1.5 specification vintage, is currently up for sale and with a number of interested parties already, he doesn't want to consider using it on the three day event.
Ju väljaspool arvestust saab tallata ükskõik millega.

Kasuta ikka turvavööd ka!
Kusjuures, hoolimata sellest, et Birdi näol tegemist suhteliselt rikka inimesega, ei ole ta üldse eriti halb sõidumees. Vastupidiselt üsna levinud arvamusele, et need, kes heade autodega, need ei oska sõita... Suhteliselt vähe on ta sõitnud, aga pidi pidevalt tunduvalt paremaks saama.
Kasuta ikka turvavööd ka!
