source:http://www.sport-fm.gr

Στον τελευταίο γύρο του Παγκόσμιου πρωταθλήματος ράλυ αναμένεται να κριθεί ο τίτλος, αφού Σεμπαστιάν Λεμπ και Μίκο Χιρβόνεν διεκδικούν το πρωτάθλημα. Ο Αλσατός οδηγός της Citroen τόνισε πως θα ξεκινήσει τον αγώνα στην Αγγλία (10-13/11) με μοναδικό σκοπό τη νίκη.

«Αν ο Μίκο κερδίσει το ράλι, εγώ πρέπει να τερματίσω στη δεύτερη θέση και να πάρω αρκετούς βαθμούς στην σούπερ ειδική, αλλά σίγουρα θα προσπαθήσω να παλέψω μαζί του και να μην είμαι πίσω του. Πρέπει να κάνουμε έναν καλό αγώνα στην Αγγλία, ξέρουμε πως θα είναι δύσκολα τα πράγματα», ήταν τα λόγια του Λεμπ, who then completed.

«Δεν έχω επιλογή, πρέπει να βγω και να κερδίσω την Σούπερ ειδική και να στεφθώ Παγκόσμιος πρωταθλητής», he added.

Ο Χιρβόνεν βρίσκεται οχτώ βαθμούς πίσω από τον πρώτο Λεμπ.

VW presented the Volkswagen Bulli concept at the Geneva show in early spring. A microbus with a length of just 3,99 m., 1,75 μ. width and 1,70 meters high and has a wheelbase 2,62 meters. The Volkswagen Bulli was equipped with an electric motor that performs 115 horses and 260 Nm of torque. The motor draws power from lithium-ion batteries.

Volkswagen said the Bulli has a theoretical range of up to 300 kilometers, price that honestly, it's incredible for an electric vehicle.

Volkswagen Bulli needs 11,5 seconds to accelerate from the 0 στα 100 km. / time and the top speed is electronically limited to 140 km. / time.

By arrangement 3 +3 positions, Bulli offers cargo space 370 liter, which increases to 1.600 liters when all seats are folded.

The production version of the new VW Bulli is expected sometime in 2014, retaining most of the design features of the original. Volkswagen's goal is for the Bulli to retain the character it has as a prototype.

And among the features that the German brand wants to remain is the electric motor. Of course, the question mark is whether the electric motor that we will see in the production model will maintain the technical characteristics that we saw in the concept.

The 2014 VW Bulli is expected to be slightly larger than a Polo

The organization of top races by Greeks seems to be fully trusted by the world automobile federation (FIA), after its decision to include in its Acropolis rally 2012 and the WRC Academy category. Our national match will be the 6th round of the championship for the 2012 and will also count towards the PWRC class championship. However, the choice of Greece to host the second round of the WRC Academy raises the interest even more, given that the specific institution at its establishment (2011) had 20 participations.

Already with the calendar finalized, the Greek organizing committee has decided that it will support any Greek competitor who participates in the Acropolis Rally with a car of the category (Ford Fiesta R2 prepared by M-Sport), with the details to be defined in the near future. It is recalled that the WRC Academy is the "nursery" of tomorrow's WRC drivers, since it gives the opportunity to young people under the age of 25 years to participate in the world rally championship at a cost lower than that of the other categories, but also with a prize money of the order of 500.000 euro for the champion. Note that the Acropolis rally 2012 will be held on 24-27 May, while in its 58th edition it will once again focus on the city of Loutraki.
