JorritVD 1,236 Posted March 20 (edited) Supercars ERX, a huge list. S1600 ERX, a healthy list as well. Edited March 20 by JorritVD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tbtstt 2,387 Posted March 20 Great numbers in both and tough to pick a winner in the Euros: Oliver Eriksson is surely one to watch! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JorritVD 1,236 Posted March 20 Btw, Kevin Abbring is not on the entry-list, which is quite interesting, as he was announced by GCK. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tbtstt 2,387 Posted March 21 Few pictures from the (rather wet) fourth round of the 2019/2020 Lydden Winter Rallycross series last weekend... ...fingers crossed that we won't have too long to wait for more rallycross this year! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Janneman60 154 Posted March 24 So now it is clear why Kevin Abbring is not on the list for ERX, he is doing parttime WRX this year. Now just wait if there IS a WRX... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JorritVD 1,236 Posted March 25 (edited) Full time entry list grows to 14. Baumanis teams up with Larsson and JC. BAUMANIS JOINS KYB TEAM JC IN AUDI S1 FOR 2020 https://www.fiaworldrallycross.com/article/10587/baumanis-joins-kyb-team-jc I'm interested how competitive Baumanis and Larsson will be. I think the Audi is more competitive than the Fiestas he drove the last couple of seasons. But somehow Baumanis never has fully convinced me he is a top driver for the title in WRX. But I hope I am wrong. Edited March 25 by JorritVD 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But I hope I am wrong. nice to see he's back, and nice to see another team competing as well. agreed about Baumanis' level. to me he's decent: good enough to almost always make the semis and often the finals too, but podiums don't come easily. I'd put him in roughly the same category as drivers like Marklund, Doran, Timur, and Timo. tier 2, more or less. (tier 1 being ones who regularly get podiums).

But I hope I am wrong. Agree with you on all points there @JorritVD. I think the Audi is a competitive car, but I wonder if Baumanis has the pace (and Larsson has the consistency) for them to be challengers. Brilliant to see two of the latest specification EKS cars getting some use this year though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JorritVD 1,236 Posted April 1 Wow!! - Mattias Ekstrom returns for a full season with KYB Team JC 😮 - Bennett is teasing there will be a second MINI with Xite Racing. Still unknown if it for WRX or something else. Or maybe it is for eSports? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James McAdam 305 Posted April 1 About Ekstrom, it sounds like an april's joke isn't it ? I thought the full list entry for WRX was already given. Will see tomorrow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
