Lada to enter JWRC!!!!!
Whilst doing my usual lets read an Autosport amagazine in WHSmiths I came across a story saying that someone is preparing a Lada samara to compete in 2003 JWRC, I can't think what page its on but its in the latest issue near the back,I hope you found it as laughable as me !!!

Seeing how well Skoda did in the old F2 categories it might not be such a way out idea.

Hey i'm doing up a lada samara, and they ain't bad cars, remember Jacky Ickx raced a Niva in the Paris-Dakar in the 80s.
Hopefully they get involved and do well. |

Yeah but the Dakar Nivas had Porsche engines in them. What are you putting in yours?

Well, I don't think it'll be a laugh. Sure, I doubt they'll be at the top, but good luck for them, I'm sure they'll put in a respectable challenge

It's not a laugh. the tv show Remus Rally Action was filming in Russia at the Samara Rally and they saw Mathias Kahle, the German champion. He was testing the Lada Super 1600, a car basedon the Lada 112, it looks plump (it's a 5-door car). Even tho Kahle lacks the experience with a car like this he was surprised by the engine and the gearbox. Some improvements are necessary he said. Lada is indeed said to enter the JWRC in 2003
