mk2, as it's according to the RA entrylist, a 1987 one... it isn't entried as a GTI either, it just says... 1987 Volkswagen Golf (weird, for those US-guys the year seams to be much more important, then what's onder the hood...)

Was reading about this earlier. Full story can be found by clicking here:
http://www.rally-america.com/news/778/ It remains to be seen how good the car will be (I'm sceptical of how successful an adapted rally car will be), but the interest and financial backing of another major manufacturer has got to be a good thing for US rallycross. With the two remaning NJMP rounds hopefully the drivers, teams and organisers can get their fine tuning done, so next years first full season will be a good one! |

This is the US Rallycross Championship, not the ERC. In the first round Foust (OMSE Fiesta Mk7) and Lagemann (OMSE Fiesta Mk6) where driving the only true RX cars. Foust eventually won, but Pastrana – in an adapted Rally car! – was very quick and started the A final from pole, after setting a fastest and a second fastest qualifying time.

I was thinking something... where are those two Yokohame Team Europe Accent's? Last time they were driven i think, was in 2007 by Bjoorn and Radstrom (the latter giving some spectacle in Momarken, I think)...
I assume one of them has been used by Jansson to build his i30, but were is the other one? Someone who has any whereabouts? or saw them dissappear on a boat across the ocean?? |

both cars are built in 2002, gears are both XTrac, and Millen's suspension is proflex, altough it rather is an exotic brand in the US... i rather think Millen is using a real rallycross car... http://rallycross.com/sales_db/viewo...d=57&lang_id=0 http://www.erc24.com/?Show=News&c=0&ID=1672 |

I would be very surprised if one of the two Swedish RX Accents went to the USA. The WRC Accents had Xtrac stuff anyway. AFAIK the RX Accents were kept to build i30s. The i30 is in the "List of cars not homologated with the FIA but eligible in D1, D1A and D2" since April 2008 and I understood that Thomas Rådström was keen to develope one with the aid of Martin Schanche, but fell apart with his main sponsor Olsbergs. |

They do two more 2010 RX events at New Jersey Motorsports Park. For 2011 they have planed a series of six events all over the US. Have a look here http://www.rallycross.de/ and scroll down to "Rallycross comes to America". |

I could be mistaken but, at this stage, I'm pretty sure the Impreza's used by Pastrana (and Mirra) were way beyond rally (America) spec. I'm sure both cars were ripped apart and rebuilt from the shell up for X-Games? (Not that it made much difference for Isachsen!). Looking at the rest of the cars involved with the first NJMP round though, everything that was based on rally spec cars was struggling to keep up. Having said that, the remainder of the field were privateer entries rather then factory backed - and I assume Millen will be there with the financial backing of Hyundai - so hopefully they will be able to make the Accent competitive!
