Karl Kruuda Rally Italia Sardegna preview
Kruuda to make WRC 2 return in new Peugeot
Karl Kruuda will join the R5 revolution in Sardinia next week when he returns to World Rally Championship action at the wheel of a Peugeot 208T16.
The 21-year-old Estonian ace is switching to the new-generation machine having made two appearances in the 2014 WRC 2 category in a Ford Fiesta Super 2000.
Kruuda, who won his class on Rally Sweden in February and holds a strong fourth place in the WRC 2 title standings, says a new car will mean a new approach to the gravel event, which takes place from June 5-8.
“I still have a lot to learn about the car because I’ve only done one small test and one local rally in Estonia,” said Kruuda. “That means I don’t have the confidence yet to push to the limit of the car. I will take it a bit easier at the start, not like my last WRC rally in Portugal where I was pushing quite a lot. The main goal is to bring the car to the finish and if there are problems then we will use the rally to solve them.”
Having spent much of his recent career driving normally aspirated Ford Fiestas, Kruuda says he’s still adapting to the turbocharged Peugeot, which is being run by the Tagai Racing Technology team from Hungary.
“Getting used to the turbo is one thing but also going from a six-speed gearbox to the five-speed gearbox is not easy,” he said. “My pace notes are written according to the gear I am in more or less and with the five-speed gearbox it can be hard to understand what gear to use.”
With turbocharged cars beginning to dominate the WRC 2 category this season, Kruuda’s switch to the Peugeot is a logical step. However, Rally Italia Sardegna will effectively serve as a high-speed test drive, even though his car will be emblazoned with a traditional Karl Kruuda-style striking livery.
“We did the Harju Ralli in Estonia in this car and we will use it in Sardinia next as part of a two-event deal made by my management company, V&V Sport Management,” Kruuda explained. “Then we will have big discussions about what to do next. I hope we will continue with this car but if I am not happy in the car there is a possibility we will go back to the Super 2000 car. One thing I can say for sure is that we’re still working on the full colour scheme for later this year.”
The 10th anniversary Rally Italia Sardegna covers a competitive distance of 364.92 kilometres over 17 special stages from its new base of Alghero in the northwest of the island. The action begins with a 1.30-kilometre stage in the capital Cagliari to the far south on the evening of Thursday June 5 followed by three days of action on rough and tough gravel stages in the centre north of the island.
Tänak Hopes Experience Will Help DMACK In Sardinia
Next week’s Rally Italia Sardegna, round six of the FIA World Rally Championship, is set to be another huge test for DMACK with the challenging road conditions and high temperatures promising to punish both tyres and cars.
While the event boasts a number of significant changes this year, the tough gravel roads across the north of the Mediterranean island remain and, together with long stage distances, will prove DMACK’s puncture resistance and durability.
Drive DMACK World Rally Team driver Ott Tänak is hoping for a strong result in Sardinia after retirement on the first day of Rally Argentina. He’s already proved his speed in the Autotek Ford Fiesta R5 this year, using DMACK’s DMG+2 tyre to win every single stage he completed at Rally Mexico in March. He’s also a fan of the tricky Sardinian stages after finishing on the podium with third overall in 2012 driving a Fiesta RS WRC.
Ott Tänak said: “This is the only event where I’ve scored a WRC podium so it has good memories for me and I enjoy the stages. This year will be a little different with some new roads but the plan is still to have a problem-free run. We will drive at our own rhythm and pace as, after a poor result in Argentina, we need to have a good finish here to give our championship hopes a real boost.”
