WRX Round 1 - Montalegre

Hickey · 27 Apr 2014, 10:16 (Ref:3398716)

So, the entry list is up on www.rallycross.com and it looks decent compared to recent years at Montalegre. Shame that Touring Car entry is poor. RX Lites have good numbers for first round.

Who will win? I think Solberg will take it.

Also, it seems the event counts as the following, WRX R1 (Supercar) and ERX R1 (S1600 & TC). So, is it not the ERX Round 1 for Supercar? I thought I understood the divide, but clearly not! Does the ERX R1 not start until Lydden?

rx-guru · 27 Apr 2014, 10:34 (Ref:3398724)

All 9 rounds in Europe count for ERX of S1600s and TCs.
Only 5 rounds in Europe (UK, N, B, D, I) count for ERX of SCs.

Hickey · 27 Apr 2014, 11:41 (Ref:3398750)

Cheers Guru. That should mean the numbers are bolstered for lydden. Should have just made all European rounds count for Supercars to make numbers better.

Around 20 S1600 and 8 TC....
Then the lites and the group B Monsters!

Will be good!!! 4 weeks to go!!

Solberg was very quick at Montalegre last year, so I hope he can kick 2014 off with a win.

...if he doesn't jump the start.

Friday will be a SuperCars parade from the circuit to the castle in the middle of the town, and a WRXC introduction, could be interesting.

What a shame the coincidence with the FRC/RCE round, some more drivers could be here, like the Paillers.

paul1982 · 27 Apr 2014, 16:51 (Ref:3398840)

For Portugal 1. Bakkerud 2. Solberg 3. Heikinnen

**FIRE** · 29 Apr 2014, 16:37 (Ref:3399726)

1. Bakkerud, showed his speed last year. This year in a proven team and car.

**FIRE** · 1 May 2014, 17:52 (Ref:3400464)

Question for Dutch members with Sport1. Who will do commentary Sunday?

paul1982 · 1 May 2014, 20:32 (Ref:3400519)

Geen idee..... maar ben bang iemand die er de ballen verstand van heeft.....verwacht geen olav mol... volgens mij kan je naar Engels switchen..... dan heb je Andrew C.

tbtstt · 2 May 2014, 10:43 (Ref:3400697)

For anyone who hasn't had the E-mail, the Round 1 livestream is shown as starting at 10:00 AM EDT (which I believe is 3 PM for those of us in the UK).

That's why I was asking.

Happy there was an offer 3 months for 15 Euro.

Helpfully the link in the aforementioned E-mail leads to a dead page, but I found the World Rallycross Championship on Livestream here:

http://new.livestream.com/fiaworldrallycross

The Livestream player is still embedded in the RallycrossRX page as well, so I assume it be watchable there on Sunday:

chunder · 2 May 2014, 15:24 (Ref:3400805)

Yes thanks

Its the same team that did the BRC event at Lydden.

Hopefully they tap into commentary this time, though I dont mind pure sound!

pettersolberg29 · 2 May 2014, 17:49 (Ref:3400851)

Will we be able to watch the livestream in the UK? Thought there were restrictions on it this year?

In contrast to last year we have live TV coverage in The Netherlands.
Couple days ago I tried the livestream link but got a message not available in your country. So if the UK has live coverage (British Eurosport?) than the stream will not work.

That's what I feared... hopefully be able to find a Eurosport stream somewhere!

But not the whole champinship.
He is to wild and hard on the cars , breaking it to often.
My Money is on Heikkinen , Timmy Hansen or maybe some outsider.

Thanks.
Have to try to see it online.
Do not know if we have any broadcast here in sweden?

Is there anyone that will be capping it for torrent?

juha205 · 2 May 2014, 23:38 (Ref:3400987)

Damn, I hadn't read that. I hope not as I enjoyed the livestream last year.

I would like to see Solberg take the title this year, but have to agree that his all-or-nothing style isn't likely to produce consistent results. Hopefully the car will be more reliable this year though, so at the very least he takes a win or two.

Timmy Hansen certainly showed promise last year and he had a couple of bits of bad luck that put him out of the running. Bakkerud seemed to find form in the latter half of the season, I wonder if he can continue to extract that behind the wheel of a Ford?

Not long until we find out now!

Here you can follow the RX on these 2 links from British eurosport 2.

http://www.time4tv.com/2011/09/british-eurosport-2.php

chunder · 3 May 2014, 13:02 (Ref:3401158)

You will not be able to watch the live strem in the UK

You will seemingly ONLY be able to watch it on Eurosport

Quite why they think people are going to subscribe to SKY for a 2 hour programme about 7 times a year is beyond me.

but this is modern sport and there are countless ways to avoid this rubbish as seen above.

dex92 · 3 May 2014, 13:52 (Ref:3401241)

Eurosport player is £3.99 a month for all devices, can cancel any time time.

Prefer that to paying sky 5.50 a month.

Or live media player for those that own tablets then £2.50 gets rid of ads

Or http://www.wiziwig.tv/broadcast.php?...38&part=sports
