Great to see you back, Alexander! đź‘Ť
By the way, after 2 weeks of Rallying, here are the results from Round #6 as it follows...
And the standings after Round #6:
There was some Trivia during Round #6's progress:
-
@RacingHardTV, the 2016 Global Rally Champion has returned to IRC the best way: On his Returning round, he came back with a Maiden Win, the first win from a German Driver since 2016. The last win by a German Driver before this feat happened was in December 2016 at Rally Australia, when Alexander Erhart had achieved the 12th win of the season and the last of his rally career until now. That way, Alexander Erhart equalizes Pedro Harsk's number of wins in IRC: 13 wins for each. It has also marked his return to IRC after one sabbatical year (his last rally until now was the 2017 Rally Sweden and he missed the 2018 IRC Campaign);
-
@MonGnoM, one of the first Rally Drivers to compete in the rally championship, has also returned to IRC after one sabbatical year. His last rally was 2017 Rally Sweden and he was invited to take part on 2018 IRC's final Round in Germany. Unfortunately, nothing has materialized and he ended on missing the 2018 IRC Season.
However, his return was rewarded by a 2nd overall finish, which is the best classification ever for Luxembourg in a rally round and thus, took 4 points from
@Harsk100 in the International Rally Cup for Senior Drivers. If all goes well, Alexander Heinen might establish the best classification ever for Luxembourg in 2019 IRC Championship standings: he had finished 12th overall in 2016 GRC;
- Toyota has achieved his first ever win of the season after a poor start in 2019 IRC Campaign. The last win for Toyota was in the final Round of 2018 IRC at Germany when CrazyJohn had achieved its 6th win in the season and on his career;
- The Round #6 also marked a 3rd IRC Return:
@ZedNinetySix. The british Driver had returned to IRC after one sabbatical year. The last round participated was on 2017 Rally Japan where he had mechanical issues on his Hyundai and therefore could not finish the Round. He was appointed Toshost's teamate to compete on Subaru WRX STi Gr. B Rally Car on following year, but his year at Subaru was ended following Todor Stoikov's withdrawal after Round #1 from Rally UK conclusion.
This Round, Zephan Richfield has surprised the competition with a 9th finish overall, ending with a R2 Class win with a RWD Lancia Stratos and has even beaten
@RoadRageDudez's Dirt Star Racing Team #99 Subaru WRX STi Gr. B Rally Car and #13 Christianne Harsk's Privateer Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X Gr. B Rally Car!
It's also
@Neyrox's first defeat in Rally, since it is the first time that the American driver of Audi TT does not win the R2 Class in a rally round.
What a great driving, Zephan!
-
@Obelisk also returned to IRC, but this time as a Privateer. His return has resulted on 12th win overall and 2nd on R2 Class. With that, he is the first Mitsubishi driver ever on competing on R2 Class, since the other Mitsubishi drivers previously drove a Mitsubishi Lancer Gr. B Rally Car;
- The Class R3 has gained one more driver. Colin Flake, the british driver has joined the R3 class results with a respectable 2nd class finish with a Lancia Delta. This result means that the Lancia has returned to IRC after one sabbatical year. The last rally that the Lancia had competed in a rally round for IRC was in 2017.
I'm very sorry for long message guys.
The next Round is the Rally USA, which will be another rally in a Gravel track, this time held in Colorado Springs. The Rally Organisation is looking forward to see you on the track for Round #7, which starts on July 15th and ends at July 21st. đź‘Ť
See you at Round #7!
