GRC Round 2: Barcelona, Spain - 19/05/13
Less than a week to go to this now so, even though forum interest may not be that high, I thought I'd start a new thread for the event.
Track looks a lot tighter than the Brazilian track (which I personally don't see as being a good thing), but this event sees the return of Subaru (hopefully with a more competitive car) and the competition debut of MINI. List of invited athletes is up on the ESPN page... http://xgames.espn.go.com/xgames/eve...vitedathletes/ ...and currently looks like this: Steve Arpin Ken Block Brian Deegan Liam Doran Tanner Foust Toomas Heikkinen Sverre Isachsen Bucky Lasek Anton Marklund Bryce Menzies Dave Mirra Travis Pastrana Nani Roma Carlos Sainz Patrick Sandell Scott Speed Guiga Spinelli Anyone want to hazard a prediction for the win?... |

Any European rallycross regulars racing, minus the usual suspects?

The track looks super tight. I have a feeling it's going to be carnage. ( No pun intended there!)

Forgive the double post, but I just spotted this article mentioned on Facebook:
http://www.motorsport.no/wip4/isachs...748&id=2129854 I'm not sure how accurate Google translate is (or how accurate the article is in the first place!), but a few interesting lines: Quote:

Maybe Gunarsson was just hired as a consultant to help with improving the existing cars?

I was hoping the new Subaru webisode series would give move details, but its only made a passing reference to the GRC thus far. I have noticed a number of comments from David Higgins and Sverre with regards to testing, all of which imply that it was done in the US. Quite likely on last years car(s)?... |

Dirt tracks, no good? Masses of dust last time, this time it is raining and the track is just mud.

This is rallycross for heaven sake, no Nascar!! Artificial bullschit, if they would use the regular circuits this would not happen.

The track was stupidly wet and didn't seem to be draining at all. http://instagram.com/p/ZgErrgM8_0/ Couple of tweets from Toomas Heikkinen: Quote:

I still can't get over the fact they were using semi-slicks considering the track was at least 90% dirt.

Tweet from X Games:

I can't believe that they only have one type of tyre. I think that's an X Games thing and it's pretty stupid. Have a dry tyre and a wet tyre. Least then they can run and keep the fans (and sponsors) happy. I do think it's interesting that there's been nothing from the drivers yet. I bet they're not happy, seeing as this race is part of the GRC series. |
