Suzuki довольна своим дебютом на гравии Ралли Великобритании!

Новости соревнований:
Suzuki успешно завершила Ралли Великобритании, проходившее полностью по дорогам только с гравийным покрытием, второе Ралли Мирового Чемпионата этого года запланированного тестовой программой японской фирмы.
Несмотря на чрезвычайно трудные и скользкие условия трассы, финский водитель Себастиан Lindholm привел новый SX4 WRC к финишу соревнований, пройдя максимальное количество километров трассы позволившей собрать ценную испытательную информацию о поведении автомобиля и проверив в боевых условиех несколько различных вариантов установок настроек автомобиля. Сегодняшний заключительная этап гонки, который одновременно является также частью Чемпионата 2007 Мирового Ралли - состоял из четырех специальные участков, всего 114 зачетных километров.

Автомобильные новости - Suzuki SX4 WRC No.19:
Инженеры Suzuki продолжали оценивать автомобиль в грязи и гравии Великобритании. Они остались довольны общим уровнем надежности SX4 WRC в его самом первом соревновании на сыпучем покрытии. На день открытия, команда была поражена неудачей, когда острый камень пробил трубку тормозной магистрали, но оставшиеся два дня автомобиль шел надежно и последовательно на протяжении всей трассы. Lindholm был вынужден перенастраивать настройки подвески во время третьего дня ралли, что также характеризует чрезвычайно плохую погоду.

Новости водителей:
Себастиан Lindholm отвечал за подготовку SX4 WRC для прохождения гравийной трассы, начиная с проверки автомобиля и заканчивая подтверждением установленных настроечных параметров. Он же и имел возможность получить удовольствие, подтвердив правильность их выбора лично испытав в соревновании на Ралли Великобритании.
"Мы выполнили много полезного труда в течении этой гонки, и собрали много информации. Это очень важо для будущего", сообщил 46 летний Lindholm, который в последний раз участвовал в Ралли Великобритании Ралли в 1998, придя к финишу пятым. "Наша задача от начала этого ралли была проста - добраться до финиша, мы даже не смотрели на время прохождения этапов и не рисковали.
Условия повсюду все три дня были никудышними, но это типично для Уэльса, для нас это было очень хорошо мы приобретали опыт и изучали поведение автомобиля."

Новости команды:
Команда Мирового Ралли Suzuki уезжает из Великобритании с большим количеством информации, которая жизненно необходима для развития автомобиля в будущем.
Nobuhiro Tajima, руководитель команды: "Мы очень довольны прогрессом, который был достигнут на Ралли Великобритании, благодаря тяжелой работе нашей испытательной команды и водителей. В экстремальных погодных условиях мы получили много данных, проверили много всего и обнаружили немало проблем, которые нам придется решить. Если бы мы не столкнулись ни с какими проблемами вообще, тогда я бы очень волновался. Получение хорошего времени не было нашей задачей в этот уикэнд. По завершению нашей тестовой программы SX4 WRC, мы расцениваем весь приобретенный нами опыт, как хороший так и плохой, как самую главную ценность. Наши задачи испытаний за 2007 были выполнены полностью и приобретенный опыт перенес нас в значительно лучшее положение, чем, когда мы начали. В следующем году будет новое начало Команды Мирового Ралли Suzuki. Испытания заканчиваются сейчас и в 2008 году новая стратегия начнется с новой команды. Мы с надеждой смотрим в будущее!"

У меня вопрос может быть несколько необычный...
... внешний вид машины с точностью до наклейки нигде найти не можем... Т.е. есть кое-какие фотки с выставок есть, но там не все ракурсы...
Мож кто что посоветует... Мож видели что-нибудь?

Видели, на ралли корсика погода была сухая и почти на всех снимках сделаных со стороны борта все надписи видны.

Suzuki Motor Corporation is pleased to announce that the Suzuki World Rally Team's Gardemeister from Finland and Per-Gunnar Andersson from Sweden.
Toni Gardemeister combines impressive experience and versatility as a driver with a great ability to contribute to car development. As the Suzuki World Rally Team's primary driver throughout the 2008 WRC season, he will play an important role in fine-tuning the Suzuki SX4 WRC car.
Per-Gunnar Andersson won the 2004 Junior World Rally Championship (JWRC) in a Suzuki Ignis and the 2007 Junior Rally Championship in a Suzuki Swift, so he's already a valued member of the Suzuki World Rally Team as he steps up to the bigger challenges of the WRC.
Joining Toni Gardemeister as co-driver will be fellow Finn Tomi Tuominen, who was also co-driver for the Suzuki SX4 WRC car's test entry in the Wales Rally GB. Codriver for Per-Gunnar Andersson will be fellow Swede Jonas Andersson. The Swedes have already raced successfully together in the Super 1600 category.
Suzuki Motor Corporation and its affiliate Suzuki Sport are supporting the Suzuki World Rally Team with technical and managerial know-how and resources. They see the Suzuki WRC challenge as a great chance to raise the profile of Suzuki products and gain technical data that will be valuable in future car development.

Швед Пэр Гуннар Андерсон уже дважды был чемпионом мира по ралли среди юниоров в 2004 и в 2007 на Игнисе и Свифте соответственно. Если SX4 WRC не подведет, то шансы его показать хороший результат довольно велики.:thumbsup:

Пресс-релиз от 18 01 2008:
76th Monte Carlo Rally (MC), January 24-27 2008

Suzuki World Rally Team embarks on first full season of world rallying

Following two test events in Corsica and Great Britain last year, the Suzuki World Rally Team now embarks on its first full season of world rallying with two new drivers: Toni Gardemeister from Finland and Per-Gunnar Andersson from Sweden, the reigning Junior Rally Champion with Suzuki.

The first of the 15 rounds that make up the 2008 World Rally Championship is the legendary Monte Carlo Rally, the oldest and most prestigious event of the series. Just like the roulette games played in the Principality’s famous casino, the outcome of the rally can be a lottery. Conditions can vary many times in the same stage, and it is not uncommon for a stage to start off in bright sunshine and end with snow and ice.

For the second consecutive year, the Monte Carlo Rally will start off in the town of Valence, in the Ardeche region of France, with two night stages on Thursday evening. The route takes in 12 more stages in the area on Friday and Saturday, before moving down to Monaco for four classic stages over the Col de Turini and a super special stage using part of Monaco’s famous Grand Prix circuit. The prize-giving ceremony will take place in front of Monaco’s Royal Palace on Sunday at 15:30 (CET).

As usual a wide range of conditions are expected on this year’s event, making Monte Carlo one of the most difficult rallies on the entire calendar. As well as varying weather, crews face a huge variety of road conditions: from bumpy, broken asphalt with reasonable grip to sheet ice like a skating rink. In total, the rally consists of 365.09 competitive kilometres.

Car news – Suzuki SX4 WRC n.11 (Gardemeister) and n.12 (Andersson):

This will actually be Suzuki’s seventh Monte Carlo rally, thanks to a successful Junior World Rally Championship campaign that resulted in two titles, but it is obviously the first time in the Principality with the all-new SX4 WRC.

The SX4 WRC sports a striking new white and yellow livery for 2008, and it has already racked up a number of testing kilometres in the region following a pre-Monte Carlo test at the end of last year with both drivers. Using the valuable experience gained from the two test events in 2007, the SX4 WRC features new differential and suspension settings for Monte Carlo, as well as a raft of other improvements under the skin.

Like all the other cars, the SX4 WRC will run on Pirelli’s all-new control tyres introduced for this year. These tyres are not permitted to have anti-deflation mousse, and only one type of tread pattern and compound is allowed per event, in order to reduce costs. However drivers are permitted to hand-cut the tyres to help disperse water or loose gravel, and for Monte Carlo a short stud can also be used if necessary, to find grip in icy conditions.

The entire Suzuki team is eagerly awaiting the unique challenge of Monte Carlo, and the whole 2008 season.

Driver news:

For the first time, the Suzuki World Rally Team will run two cars, as it will over the rest of the season. The 32 year-old Toni Gardemeister starts his ninth Monte Carlo Rally this year, and it is one of his favourite events. The Finn was on the podium as recently as 2006, and he has finished in the points on five occasions. His co-driver this year is Tomi Tuominen, who knows the SX4 WRC well after partnering Sebastian Lindholm on the Rally GB last year.

Gardemeister said: ”It’s fantastic for me to be back in the World Championship with Suzuki, and if things go well for us in Monte Carlo I think we can come away with points. The car is still new, so we’re not going to be on the pace of the frontrunners yet, but the overall set-up and reliability is good. The SX4 has a very compact wheelbase so it changes direction quickly, which will be very useful on the fast and twisty roads of Monte Carlo. This is always an unpredictable event, but I think that mixed conditions could actually work in our favour. I’m particularly looking forward to the Col de Turini stages on Sunday: these are unique stages and I’ve always had a very good feeling with them.”

For 27 year-old P-G Andersson, co-driven by Jonas Andersson, Monte Carlo will be his first-ever World Championship event in a World Rally Car. The young Swede has completed around 500 kilometres of testing with the SX4, so he still has to climb a steep learning curve. Nonetheless, the Monte Carlo Rally is not entirely new to him as he competed on the event in 2004 and 2005 with an Ignis Super 1600.

”I can’t wait to get started!”, said P-G. ”Obviously getting to the finish and gaining more experience will be the priority for me. Going from a Super 1600 car to a World Rally Car is quite a big jump as everything happens so much quicker. It’s also important to get the pace notes right: there are some corners that you wouldn’t even bother noting in a Super 1600 car but in a World Rally Car you really feel them! It’s important for me to have a solid run in Monte Carlo, so that I can go into my home event – the Swedish Rally, which is next on the calendar – with a lot of confidence.”

Team news:

For the entire Suzuki team, the Monte Carlo rally opens a new chapter in the manufacturer’s prestigious history. New arrivals at the team this year include Shusuke Inagaki as technical director and Akira Kawada as team manager.

Nobuhiro ‘Monster’ Tajima, principal of the Suzuki World Rally Team, commented: ”As we embark on our full first season, our goal is to make steady progress by taking one step at a time. Results are obviously important, but we cannot get ahead of ourselves either. In our debut year, it’s only natural to expect a few minor problems and we’re grateful to have a driver of the calibre of Toni Gardemeister to help us improve. P-G Andersson is at the very start of his career, so his job is to learn as well. We all share the common objective of performing to the best of our abilities, and increasing the profile of Suzuki’s compact cars all over the world.”

Интервью на старте шейк-дауна:
Nobuhiro TAJIMA (SUZUKI team manager)
« Being at the start of the Monte-carlo rally allows me to fulfil my dream. The team is also new in WRC. The team was created 2 years ago but we will enjoy every bit of the race because a first time only occurs once. Our objective is to finish the rally in order to accumulate as much knowledge as we can. It is a very peculiar race. One has to be reasonable and make it until the finish line. »
Per-Gunnar ANDERSSON (WCR junior champion)
New at Suzuki in WRC. « More work needs to be performed but we shall go step by step. The objective's being to learn and, why not, to enjoy the race. »

Monte Carlo Rally (MC), Thursday 24 January, day one (SS1-SS2)

Suzukis finish day one safely as the World Rally adventure begins

Suzuki’s first full season of the World Rally Championship got underway with the two SX4WRCs of Toni Gardemeister and P-G Andersson crossing the start ramp at Valence this evening before facing two tricky special stages in the dark. Having set top-10 times during both stages, Gardemeister finishes the opening day in a provisional points-scoring eighth place. Following the first 21 kilometres of the event and his World Rally Car career, P-G Andersson is 12th – despite completing most of the action with just two-wheel drive.

The opening stage, the 28.12 kilometres of St Jean en Royans – Col de la Chau, was extremely fast and slippery, due to snow that had melted during the day and turned to ice in the cool temperatures. The second stage was more technical, suiting the SX4 WRC better on only its third-ever rally. The Suzuki SX4 WRCs also had to deal with a lot of loose snow pulled onto the road by previous cars, having started the rally eighth and 10th on the road.

Car news – Suzuki SX4 WRC n.11 (Gardemeister), n.12 (Andersson):

Gardemeister had difficulty hearing his pace notes over the first couple of stages because of intermittent intercom problems. He ended the opening stage eighth and was in the top 10 once more on SS2, fulfilling his prediction so far that it would be possible for Suzuki to finish its first proper event with the SX4 WRC in the points.

Andersson got off to a flying start but had a driveshaft break after 14 kilometres, ending the opening stage in 11th overall. He had to complete the slippery stage with just two-wheel drive, and the problem persisted during the second stage as well. With both cars having safely made it through the opening day, they were prepared for a full day of action starting at 06:50 tomorrow at the service park in Valence.

Driver news:

Toni Gardemeister: “We had a few small problems but despite this we’ve come to the end of the first day in the points. This is a brand new car and there is a lot of development still to come, but I’m happy. It’s clear that the potential is all there, and I’m going to keep pushing tomorrow.”

P G Andersson: “It’s been an eventful first day! The driveshaft broke after 14 kilometres, meaning that it was really difficult to find traction on the ice with just two-wheel drive. I’m actually quite surprised by our position: I thought that we would have dropped more time than we did.”

Team news:

Nobuhiro Tajima, Suzuki World Rally Team principal: “I am very happy indeed with our performance so far: to be in a provisional points-scoring place in our first proper rally is a great achievement. It’s only been 53 days since our final test event on Rally Great Britain last year: in the space of that short time we have put together a whole new driver line-up and expanded the team rapidly. I’d like to say a big ‘thank you’ to everyone for their hard work, which has put us in this very encouraging position at the start of our first rally. Step by step, we’ll keep working to improve.”

Monte Carlo Rally (MC), Friday 25 January, day two (SS3-SS8)

Suzuki continues to make progress on tricky asphalt of Monte Carlo Rally

At the end of Suzuki’s first full day of World Championship rallying, both cars are safely at the finish with some valuable lessons learned for the future. The SX4 WRC has again set top 10 times today, with P-G Andersson finishing 11th overall and Toni Gardemeister 14th.

Andersson had a clean run throughout the day, although he encountered a small gear selection problem in the morning and also stalled at the start of SS5. Gardemeister’s progress was not quite so straightforward, as he had to cope with a loss of boost pressure in the morning (which was fixed by the Suzuki mechanics at midday service in Valence) and then a lack of engine response in the afternoon.

Today’s roads were mostly dry, with only a few damp places and a number of flat-out sections that pushed drivers and cars to the limit. In these rapid conditions, the Suzuki SX4 WRC proved itself capable of setting top 10 stage times once more, underlining its clear potential for a points finish on its debut.

Car news – Suzuki SX4 WRC n.11 (Gardemeister), n.12 (Andersson):

http://www.acm.mc/ramc/ramc_main.php
Gardemeister had limited turbo boost throughout all three of the morning’s stages, which held him back on the tricky mountain roads – especially during the long uphill sections. The Suzuki mechanics traced it to a small electrical problem at service, but the Finn then suffered an unrelated problem in the afternoon that affected the engine response.

http://www.acm.mc/ramc/ramc_main.php
Andersson left service four minutes late this morning as a result of some differential adjustments, which led to a 40-second road penalty. However, he had no real problems at all throughout the rest of the day and made excellent progress on what is only his first-ever World Championship event in a World Rally Car.

Driver news:

Toni Gardemeister: ”We had a few issues today but nothing major: it’s already clear that we have a lot of potential so I’m happy and I know where we can improve. I’m actually surprised by how quick we have been already when things are working well. There’s a very long way still to go on this rally, so tonight we will get the car back to perfect order and see what we can do: tomorrow’s stages are very nice. ”

P-G Andersson: ”Today has been very good for us, as we’ve had no real problems and we’ve been able to set some good times. The encouraging thing is that we have already been able to go quicker than some cars and drivers with more experience. I’m going to stick to a steady pace, because the priority for me is to finish.”

Team news:

Osamu Honda, Suzuki Senior Managing Executive Officer: ”At what is still the start of our first event, we are finally living our dream in one of the toughest forms of motor sport. Competition is in Suzuki’s DNA, from motorbikes to cars. We are finding out of course that the top category of the World Rally Championship is extremely challenging, but competition like this is the best way for us to express our deep passion for our cars. Like the slogan says, for us it is a Way of Life!”

Проблемы сегодняшнего дня:
Андерсон - селектор коробки + потребовалась настройка диффа. 40 секунд штрафа.
Гарденмайстер - пол дня без нагнетателя (проблема решенп - электрика управления - во время дневного перерыва, потом, вторая половина дня - двигатель неадекватно реагировал на нагрузку.

Основное резюме - когда все в порядке, оба могут ехать очень быстро.(as we’ve had no real problems and we’ve been able to set some good times) Потенциал очень велик!

Monte Carlo Rally (MC), Saturday 26 January, day three (SS9-SS14)

Suzuki in the provisional points on the Monte Carlo Rally

On its very first event, the Suzuki SX4 WRC of P-G Andersson has finished the third day of the Monte Carlo Rally in a provisional points-scoring place. The cars have set quick times in the top eight all day, including a brilliant fifth-fastest time from P-G Andersson on SS9. At the end of the third day of the event, Andersson is in a points-scoring seventh place but Toni Gardemeister has been forced to retire due to an overheating problem, after completing all the special stages. Today was the longest leg of the four-day event, comprising 443.26 kilometres in total and 132.78 kilometres of special stages. Both Suzuki SX4 WRCs had no major problems throughout most of the day: an excellent achievement in what is only the very start of the Suzuki World Rally Team’s first full season. Tomorrow the crews face another 66.95 competitive kilometres over the legendary Col de Turini and a spectator superspecial using parts of Monaco’s Grand Prix circuit, before the finish in front of the Principality’s Royal Palace at 15:30.

Car news – Suzuki SX4 WRC n.11 (Gardemeister), n.12 (Andersson):

Gardemeister had an intercom problem during the opening loop of stages, but the Finn was able to set some quick times including a sixth-fastest time on SS13. During the last stage, Gardemeister’s car began to overheat. Although the crew reached the service area at the end of the day, it was not possible to trace the cause of the problem and the car was subsequently retired in order to prevent further engine damage.

Andersson’s car was perfectly reliable throughout the day’s six stages. The roads today were more flowing than the action yesterday, allowing the Suzuki drivers to find a good rhythm and set some impressive times. Both drivers said that they were happy with the car set-up over the challenging and bumpy mountain roads, which were mostly dry with one or two slippery patches.

Driver news:

Toni Gardemeister: ”It’s disappointing to be forced into retirement, especially considering the fact that up until the end of it today was very good. The stages were well suited to the car, and while I’m sorry not to be able to finish the event, it has been a very positive experience for me and the whole team. We need to continue working hard to further improve our speed and reliability, but I have every confidence that we will get there.”

P-G Andersson: ”I’m very pleased with the way that today went and I also think that I improved my driving technique a lot as well. I was doing a lot less braking today and using higher gears to carry some more momentum: that was where I made up the time. If we can carry on like this it would be fantastic, so I need to concentrate on getting to the finish now. But I have to say that today was even better than I expected.”

Team news:

Nobuhiro Tajima, Suzuki World Rally Team principal: ”Naturally we are all very pleased by the speed that P-G and Toni have shown today. However, it’s important for us not to get carried away. There’s still a long way to go – with the extremely challenging Col de Turini stages – and we have a lot of work left to carry out this year. After this rally, we will have some more ideas about where to focus our efforts in order to develop the car further and prevent problems such as the one we experienced with Toni recurring.”

76th Monte Carlo Rally (MC), January 24-27 2008

Suzuki World Rally Team delighted by points finish on Monte Carlo debut

http://media.suzuki-wrc.com/images/51430_Gardemeistert01rmc08dr015.jpg

Suzuki driver P-G Andersson has finished an excellent eighth on his WRC debut in a World Rally Car, marking the start of the Suzuki World Rally Team’s first season in the top category of the sport. Despite some small problems on the opening leg, the young Swede set a fifth-fastest stage time and proved himself regularly capable of posting times close to the frontrunners. After nearly 400 competitive kilometres over ice, snow and some flat-out asphalt mountain roads, P-G and Suzuki have the satisfaction of a top-eight placing.

Toni Gardemeister was on course to join his team-mate in a points-scoring finish, having completed all but five special stages of this challenging event. Unfortunately the Finn was forced into retirement at the very end of the penultimate day, but he too managed to set a sixth-fastest stage time and prove that the new Suzuki SX4 WRC has the pace to run towards the front.

The final day’s action saw the crews complete two loops of stages over the legendary Col de Turini, where thousands of spectators traditionally gather to cheer on their heroes. Andersson concentrated on consolidating Suzuki’s first points finish, before the rally concluded with a spectator superspecial stage using parts of Monaco’s famous Formula 1 Grand Prix circuit.

Car news – Suzuki SX4 WRC n.11 (Gardemeister) and n.12 (Andersson):

The SX4 WRC of Andersson was generally reliable throughout the rally, although the young Swede lost time with a driveshaft failure throughout the opening loop of stages on Thursday night near Valence. Having established an effective set-up in the pre-Monte Carlo test, the team made only small adjustments to the car throughout the rally in order to improve the handling – although P-G felt that the suspension was a little too soft on the final day. Future developments will include work on the launch control system, and refinements to the suspension and differential.

Having moved into the top eight on the third day of the rally, Andersson finished the event a minute and a half clear of his nearest rival. Toni Gardemeister also made good progress throughout the rally despite some turbo boost problems on the second day. By the third day he had climbed back to 10th place and was set for a points finish, but his SX4 WRC began to overheat on SS14, Lamastre. The Finn and his co-driver Tomi Tuominen managed to get the car back to the final service park in Valence, but the mechanics discovered that there had been damage to the engine. In order to get to the bottom of the problem, the team decided to retire the car so that the causes could be investigated back at the factory in Paris.

Andersson and Gardemeister reported no problems or punctures with Pirelli’s control tyres, which were being used for the first time in Monte Carlo, and the event was also a valuable exercise for the newly-formed Suzuki World Rally Team – which now consists of around 120 people – to practise working together.

Driver news:

P-G Andersson was delighted by his World Rally Car debut after only 500 kilometres of testing before the start of the rally – meaning that he has doubled his time in the car over just the space of the Monte Carlo Rally. As well as learning more about the SX4 WRC, he also improved his driving
technique considerably over all four days of the event.
http://media.suzuki-wrc.com/images/51425_Anderssonpg01rmc08dr016.jpg

The 27 year-old, who won the Junior World Rally Championship with Suzuki for the second time last year, said: ”There’s a lot to learn, but I’ve really enjoyed it and I couldn’t have asked for more. To score points on my debut with a brand-new car is a truly fantastic result. My four-wheel drive
experience before this event was limited to just a few rallies in a Group N car and some tests, so for me this rally has been all about learning to use the speed and traction of a World Rally Car. There’s a lot more to come from both me and the car though. It was very important for me to get a good result here as it means I can head into the next round – my home rally in Sweden – with a very positive frame of mind.”

http://media.suzuki-wrc.com/images/51429_Gardemeistert01rmc08dr016.jpg
The experienced Toni Gardemeister, driving on his ninth Monte Carlo Rally, was also pleased with his Suzuki debut despite being forced into retirement. The 32 year-old Finn commented: ”Without the problems that we unfortunately encountered, we would have been fighting for points here – which I knew was possible from the start and P-G has also proved with his excellent performance. It’s clear that the car has a lot of potential, so actually I’m very happy. Now that the season is underway, we have to keep working hard to improve the car all the time. Our next rally is Sweden, which I like a lot. If we can find a good rhythm, it’s certainly possible for us to do well there.”

Team news:

The Suzuki squad worked extremely well together during their first rally as a two-car team, headed up by team principal Nobuhiro ‘Monster’ Tajima, team director Yutaka Awazuhara, technical manager Shusuke Inagaki and team manager Akira Kawada.

Tajima commented: ”This rally has been an incredibly proud moment for Suzuki as we embark on our world rally dream. I would like to congratulate P-G and Toni on doing a fantastic job: for P-G to finish in the points in his first rally in a World Rally Car is incredible. I feel very sorry for Toni: he
also did an amazing job and it was sad to see him retire. As well as the drivers, I would also like to thank the entire team: this achievement of scoring a point in our very first rally is entirely down to the fact that everybody has been able to work together easily straight away. We are very happy, but our philosophy at Suzuki is always to look forwards rather than back. Already the Monte Carlo Rally is a fantastic memory: now we are fully focussed in working towards the Swedish Rally in two week’s time, where our objective will be to try and finish in the points again – this time with both cars. Of course it won’t be easy, as the path to success is never smooth. But we can promise our complete commitment, as I hope we have already demonstrated so far. This has been a fantastic result, which was also down to the valued support of our sponsors. Congratulations to everybody!”
