Ég ręš mér vart af kęti! 19.2.2008 veršur vonandi minnst ķ sögubókunum.
Til aš byrja meš langar mig aš óska Kristjįni Einari, fjölskyldu hans įsamt öllum žeim sem svo ötullega hafa żtt vagninum alla žessa leiš!! Til hamingju hundrašfalt.
Žetta er sennilega mesta afrek Ķslendings fyrr og sķšar ķ akstursķžróttum - svo stórt dęmi aš ógerlegt er fyrir flesta aš skilja. Į žennan staš kemst enginn nema aš hafa fullkominn bakgrunn og žį er veriš meina ķ hęfni, ungan aldur, lķkamlegan styrk, óbilandi trś og vilja ašstandenda.
Kristjįn hefur allt žetta og meira til - žó hann žyki "gamall" žį er ljóst aš hęfileikarnir eru grķšarlegir. Žessi drengur er svo ég leyfi mér aš nota frasa félaga okkar: "meš bensķn ķ blóšinu" enda hefur hann frį žvķ ég man eftir minni fyrstu aškomu aš mótorsporti į Ķslandi veriš nįlęgur. Steingrķmur Ingason rallkappi įsamt afa Kristjįns tóku pśkann meš sér į allt mótortengt frį barnsaldri og lį alveg ljóst fyrir hvaša leiš žeir ętlušu sér: Aš ala af sér žann ökumann Ķslands sem nęr lengst allra frį upphafi. Žetta er aš takast og žvķ fagna ég ógurlega.
Ég vildi óska aš ég gęti lagt eitthvaš į vogarskįlarnar meš Kristjįni og co... Heyršu jś, ég get žaš! Kristjįn, žér er bošiš skuldbindingalaust įsamt žķnum velunnurum ķ ašstošarökumannssętiš hjį mér - žś keyrir žį varla ķ eins sętis bķl žannig aš mig langar aš hręša śr ykkur lķftóruna viš hentugleika. Svona getur žś endurgoldiš bakhjörlum žķnum ómetanlega hjįlpina viš aš nį žessum įfanga og ég sżnt samhug minn og gleši ķ verki :) Leigjum sérleiš ķ UK eša heima, grillum og keyrum hratt - žeir gleyma žvķ seint ;)
Ef draumar mķnir rętast mun Róbert Wessmann hafa haft rangt fyrir sér žegar hann kvašst ekki lķta į stušning Salt Investments viš Kristjįn sem fjįrfestingu - žvķ ķ draumum mķnum hefur Kristjįn raunhęfa möguleika į aš skila verulegum arši ef markmiš hans nįst.
Til hamingju aftur Kristjįn - žetta veršur seint leikiš eftir!
Danni

EVO - CHALLENGE PRESS INFORMATION
ALL SYSTEMS GO FOR EIGHTH YEAR OF EVOLUTION CHALLENGE | ||||
|
The eighth consecutive season of the Mitsubishi Ralliart Evolution Challenge gets underway next weekend with its now traditional season-opener, the Bournemouth-based Rallye Sunseeker, which takes place on 22nd & 23rd February.
So far, 15 crews have signed-up for the popular one-make series for Group N Lancer Evolutions and, with a driver line-up comprising top names from the UK, Ireland and overseas, theres no doubt that the Evolution Challenge will continue to live up to its reputation of being a highly-competitive and fiercely-fought championship.
Top Mitsubishi seed is last years Evo Challenge runner-up Seb Ling, who is out for nothing less than victory this time round. He is followed by the talented young Scot David Bogie, who also impressed in 2007.
Others returning to the series are last years third-placed Nik Elsmore, reigning Icelandic Rally Champion Daniel Sigurdarson, last years Evolution Cup winner Miles Johnston, Evo Challenge winner on the Isle of Man Neil McCance, plus two Evo drivers who get quicker each time out, Tom Naughton and Jonathan Sparks.
As in previous years, the Evolution Challenge has attracted a crop of up-and-coming Irish drivers - and this year is no exception: Daniel Barry, who finished in fifth place last year rejoins for a full assault, as does series regular Connor McCloskey who also makes a welcome return.
Theres some fresh faces too, including Billy Coleman award winner Keith Cronin, 2007 Fiesta ST Champion Jonny Greer and the extremely rapid Richard Cathcart, all three young Irishmen set to make a name for themselves in the Mitsubishi series.
Also new to the Evo Challenge are Welshman David Meredith and the hotly-tipped Simon Harraway, both of them drivers to watch this season.
PIAA are once again supporting the award for junior drivers, five falling into the category for under 25-year olds this season.
We are delighted with the quality of the Evolution Challenge entries this year, said Championship Coordinator Simon Slade. Once again, it is going to be difficult to predict a winner, so this season is going to see another closely-fought championship which is just the way we like it!
With an overall entry of 90 cars, the Evolution Challenge represents 16% of the Rallye Sunseeker field and it is anticipated that more registrations will be received before the start of the event.
The Rallye Sunseeker gets underway from Bournemouth town centre on Friday evening, with two spectacular stages through the botanical gardens and along the esplanade. The road surface switches to gravel for Saturdays 11 stages, all of which take place in Ringwood and Wareham forests and, following a total of 62 competitive miles, the event returns to Bournemouth for the finish at 6.00pm.
The 2008 Mitsubishi Ralliart Evolution Challenge is backed by Mitsubishi Motors UK and Ralliart, with support from its associate sponsors: Pirelli tyres, PIAA lights, Speedline Corse wheels, Sparco racewear, Performance Friction Brakes, Sunoco Race Fuels, ADR Motorsport and Walkinshaw Performance.

Gluggatjöldin Ķslensku :)
Saturday 16th February 2008 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Round 1 Rallye Sunseeker, Bournemouth Friday 22/Saturday 23 February 2008
BLAST OFF IN BOURNEMOUTH!The eagerly anticipated battle for the 2008 Pirelli MSA Gravel Rally Championship gets underway next weekend when crews from all over the UK converge on the seaside resort of Bournemouth for the annual ANCRO season opener as the 23rd annual Rallye Sunseeker bursts into life.
Five-times winner and very much the local hero, Marcus Dodd from nearby Poole and co-driver Andrew Bargery from just down the coast at Hove, are looking to defend their title once again in their FliteWise sponsored Hyundai Accent WRC and whilst the pair will start the Southern Car Club and Croydon & DMC organised event as favourites, there is the usual class entry following Dodd away from the start in Bournemouth on Friday evening.
Heading the challenge will be recent Wyedean Forest Rally winner Andy Burton in his Peugeot Cosworth whilst a trio of Subaru Impreza World Rally Cars, each in very capable hands, complete the top five. Jon Ingram, Julian Reynolds and Isle of Wight driver Will Nicholls can be regarded as potential event and Championship winners, and their respective campaigns for these coveted positions start now.
John Lloyd is at the wheel of the first of three Ford Focus WRCs in the entry, whilst a very strong Irish presence is led by Sean Devine (Subaru Impreza WRC) and Stephen Moore (Ford Focus WRC) and despite regular ANCRO stalwarts such as Steve Perez, Paul Bird and Roger Duckworth missing for various reasons this year, the battle will be just as intense.
Once again, the Mitsubishi Ralliart Evolution Challenge kicks off in Bournemouth with a host of drivers intent on emulating Phillip Morrows 2007 success. Welshman Sebastian Ling, Scot David Bogie, Englander Nik Elsmore and Irishman Keith Cronin lead the field as all the contenders set out on the long road which does not reach its conclusion until the end of October.
Other drivers who could make a splash on the two day event include Stephen Petch who takes to the wheel of dad Steves Hyundai Accent WRC, whereas Charlie Payne is set to contest the series in a Mitsubishi WRC. Fellow Northerners Tony Thompson (Mitsubishi) and Miles Johnston (Mitsubishi) will also be looking for a good result, as will veteran Warren Philliskirk who ventures south in his MG Metro 6R4, as does Stuart Larbey, to take part in the festivities that aim to celebrate the iconic marque on Rallye Sunseeker.
In the supporting Subaru Group N Trophy, rapid youngster Tristan Pye will head the challenge although he can expect stiff competition from Roger Chilman and Alistair Thorburn.
Throw in 70 years young veteran Harry Dodd (Hyundai Accent WRC), Ulster starlet Jonathan Greer (Mitsubishi) and Icelander Daniel Sigurdsson in a similar car and the scene is set for a typically exciting curtain raiser to the National rally scene.

Keppnisdagatal 2008
Góša kvöldiš.
Hér er hlekkir į keppnisdagatal fyrir įriš 2008 fyrir bresku meistarakeppnina, Ķslandsmótiš og heimsmeistarakeppnina ķ rallż.

Lokaundirbśningurinn į fullu!
Góša kvöldiš.
Žį er komiš aš lokaundirbśningnum fyrir fyrstu umferšina ķ EVO-Challenge meistarakeppninni - Rallż Sunseeker - ekki nema tķu dagar til stefnu og mikiš eftir aš klįra hjį lišinu.
Žaš eru 90 įhafnir skrįšar ķ NAT A ralliš og hafa strįkarnir hlotiš rįsnśmer 32. Ekki er nś hęgt aš segja aš flóšhestarnir hafi hoppaš hęš sķna af gleši yfir rįsstašnum en svona er aš vera śtlendingur ķ UK.
Žaš veršur Ķsak Gušjónsson sem mun verma ašstošarökumannssętiš ķ žessari keppni - en hann keppti meš Danna ķ žessari sömu keppni į sķšasta įri og mun žvķ reynsla hans koma sér vel nś.
Žaš er alveg ljóst aš strįkarnir munu ekki sżna fullan hraša ķ žessari keppni - en markmiš žeirra er aš keyra mjög žétt alla keppnina og kynnast nżja bķlnum sem er vķst geysilega öflugur.
Danni fór til Bretlands ķ sķšustu viku og var aš prófa nżja bķlinn meš Stuart Jones - sem keppti ķ heimsmeistarakeppninni PWRC į sķšasta įri og er sennilega hrašasti ungi ökumašur Breta. Eyddu žeir heilum degi į einkaęfingarbraut og fóru ķ tęknięfingar. Lofaši bķllinn geysilega góšu - en Danni kvaš hann mikiš kvikari og skemmtilegri en gamla bķlinn sinn. Einnig var mįl manna aš ekki vęri aš sjį aš Danni hefši ekki stigiš ķ rallķbķl ķ žrjį mįnuši - žvķ hraši hans og tękni kom višstöddum į óvart.
Viš munum halda įfram aš setja inn lķnur į nęstu daga.
Kvešja / Flóšhestarnir
