Volkswagen Ready For The WRC Acid Test In Greece
Rocky, bumpy gravel roads, temperatures of up to 50 °C in the cockpit and huge dust clouds – the Rally Greece is considered a real acid test for man and machine. The team from Volkswagen Motorsport is ideally prepared for the sixth round of this year’s FIA World Rally Championship (WRC), which will take place between 31 May and 02 June. After the Rally Argentina, the Wolfsburg-based car maker’s three driver teams – Jari-Matti Latvala/Miikka Anttila (FIN/FIN), Sébastien Ogier/Julien Ingrassia (F/F) and Andreas Mikkelsen/Mikko Markkula (N/FIN) – spent several days completing test drives in Greece to get used to the demanding local conditions. This should help them to defend their leading position in the drivers’ and manufacturers’ championships.

Tunnel Vision: Ogier Vs Loeb - The Battle Continues In Monaco
Casino instead of Col de Turini, slicks instead of spikes, Porsche 911 GT3 Cup instead of Polo R WRC: when Volkswagen rally driver Sébastien Ogier next entertains the people of Monaco, it will not, for a change, be at the “Monte”, but as part of the support programme for the Formula One Monaco Grand Prix. The Frenchman, who leads the FIA World Rally Championship (WRC), will line up in the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup as a guest starter for the “Team Allyouneed by Project 1”. Three weeks after the Rally Argentina, the 3.340-km street circuit will host the next duel with record-breaking world rally champion Sébastien Loeb. It is the first time the two rally aces will have gone head to head on a tarmacked circuit.

Giru Di Corsica-Tour De Corse In 100 Words
Known as the ‘Rally of 10,000 Corners’ due to its high frequency of twists and turns, the 56th running of the legendary event starts on the northwest coast in Calvi, heads inland to Corte before reaching Ajaccio in the south of the picturesque Mediterranean island for the final day of competition. The bulk of the route runs over narrow and undulating mountain passes lined with unforgiving rock faces on one side of the road and steep drops on the other, presenting a huge challenge for car and crew. Four stages will be shown live on Eurosport and France 3 Corsica.

In The Spotlight: Bryan Bouffier
A champion in his native France and in Poland, Bouffier won Rallye Monte-Carlo in 2011 to great acclaim during a successful stint in the Intercontinental Rally Challenge. Having lost out on winning the International Jännerrallye by 0.5s to Jan Kopecký at the start of the 2013 FIA European Rally Championship season, Bouffier had been due to contest SATA Rallye Açores last month only for engine failure in testing to rule him out. The 34-year-old has experienced differing fortunes in Corsica – crashing in 2011 but finishing fourth 12 months later.
