Ngezinye izikhathi ngikhumbula izinto ezingavamile kakhulu ngezikhathi ezinzima kakhulu. Akulula kangakanani? Zama ukutshela iphoyisa i-anecdote phakathi nomsebenzi we-STOP ngo-4:00 AM.
Isiqephu sokugcina salolu hlobo senzeka kimi ngesonto eledlule. Bekungesikhathi sokusebenza kwe-STOP, kodwa bekungesikhathi kwethulwa imininingwane yenjini entsha engu-1.5 TSI yeVolkswagen Golf (engizoyishicilela maduze nje kuLedger Automobile).
Ngenkathi omunye wabaphathi bezobuchwepheshe beVolkswagen bethula izimanga zobuchwepheshe zalesi siqephu esisha, umqondo wami - noma kunjalo, ngenxa yezizathu ezingaphezu kwamandla ami - wavusa inganekwane endala.
Inganekwane yokuthi uHenri Toivonen, ngo-1986, wayeshesha kuSekethe yase-Estoril ngemuva kwesondo leLancia Delta S4 yakhe kunezimoto zeFormula 1 ngalowo nyaka. Kubikwa ukuthi isikhathi sikaToivonen sizobeka iDelta S4 endaweni yesithupha kugridi kuGP yasePortugal.
Inganekwane egcwele i-inthanethi nokuthi... o!, Sengiyazi kakade ukuthi kungani ngikhumbule inganekwane ye-Toivonen ngesikhathi sesethulo! U-Alfredo Lavrador, olingana kazwelonke no-Jeremy Clarkson (kodwa akasho ukuthi “bacoradas”), ukhulume ngamandla ezimoto ze-rally kanye… pimba!
AKUMELE UPHUTHELWE: Imoto yezemidlalo yakwaMercedes-Benz “ephefumula” isihlabani
Ngokuphazima kweso, ngakhumbula inganekwane kaToivonen futhi ngaqala ukumtshela le ndaba, “Ubuwazi ukuthi uToivonen, blah, blah(…)” kwaze kwaba yilapho engiphazamisa khona. "Ini?! Imoto yerali esuka endaweni yesi-6 kugridi ye-Formula 1? Uyahlanya,” kusho u-Alfredo ngokukhululeka okuyisici sakhe.Ngabe iqiniso, amanga noma ngiyahlanya ngempela?
Ngokuqondene ne-hypothesis yokugcina, u-Alfredo uqinisile - kwesinye isikhathi i-ECU yami idlala ngami. Ngokuqondene nabanye, njengoba uzobona emigqeni embalwa elandelayo, ukuthi kungenzeka ukuthi i-Toivonen "indiza" e-Estoril ayitholakali kangako.
Ngizwe kaningi indaba kaToivonen exoshe izingane zeFomula 1 kangangokuthi ngisho nemibuzo ka-Alfredo yayingakaze ibe nesibindi sokungabaza ubuqiniso bamaqiniso.
Masibhekane nakho, umqondo wokuthi insizwa ishesha emotweni ye-rally kunakwi-Formula 1 inothando kakhulu, i-epic futhi *ichaza isichasiso ngokuthanda kwakho lapha* kangangokuthi cishe kuyicala ukukungabaza. Yilokho u-Alfredo akwenza, futhi wenza kahle kakhulu ...
Ikhompuyutha emathangeni ami, inkomishi yekhofi ingigcina ngijabule (ngezinye izikhathi angiliphuzi nokuliphuza, kodwa ngithanda iphunga. I-Manias…), i-Google ivuliwe futhi masilungise le ndaba. Ulungele uhambo lweminyaka engu-30? Asikwenze…
Siyakwamukela kuma-80s ahlanyayo.
Akunakwenzeka ukubheka emuva kuma-80s ngaphandle kokuvusa imizwa efana nokuncoma nokulangazelela.
Ukutuswa kwesintu ukuthi sisinde emithethweni ye-rally evumela izimoto ezinezimoto ezingaphezu kuka-600 hp kanye ne-Formula 1 ezingaphezu kuka-1000 hp, phakathi kwezinye izinto, njengokuntuleka kolwazi lokudla okunempilo emaphaketheni - amafutha aphilayo, afe esemncane noma izoba bukhoma fast , die young? Noma ngabe yini.
Futhi ngiphuthelwe ngoba, dammit, ukungazi kuyisibusiso kwesinye isikhathi, futhi njengoba ngithanda ukudla ama-french athosiwe ngosawoti, ngiyathanda nokubona umbukwane walezo zimoto. Ngiqinisekile uma ubhekisisa lesi sithombe, uzothola uyihlo noma umkhulu wakho phezulu kwamajika amajika eSerra de Sintra.
Litanies eceleni, ake sithole amaqiniso. Ingabe uHenri Toivonen empeleni washayela iLancia S4 e-Estoril ngo-1986? Yebo, ikhofi lase libanda lapho ekugcineni ngithola ukwaziswa okuthembekile ngalo mcimbi.
UNinni Russo, umqondisi weqembu likaLancia kuWorld Rally Championship ngeminyaka yawo-1980, ukuqinisekisile lokhu kusizindalwazi seRed Bull.
Kungenzeka yini ukuthi i-WRC isheshe njenge-F1?
UNinni Russo ukhumbula lokho kuhlolwa ngobusha okungenzeka, eminyakeni engaphezu kwengu-30 kamuva. Ekhuluma nesigaba se-motorsports somkhiqizo weziphuzo zamandla, uRusso uthe: "Kuzwakala kungakholeki, kodwa igebe phakathi kwe-F1 ne-WRC ngaleso sikhathi lalingekho likhulu njengoba linjalo namuhla."
Eqinisweni, izikhathi zishintshile namuhla, futhi siphoqeleka ukuthi sibonise ukumamatheka kwe-wan lapho sibona i-SUV "enoshevu" ye-B-segment idlula. Anamandla, ayamangalisa kodwa… a Yaris, ngempela?!
Esikhathini esidlule, ukumamatheka kwakungephuzi, kwakuvulekile futhi kuqotho. Kwaba ukumamatheka komuntu osanda kubona imoto yoqobo yomjaho idlula. Izimoto empeleni zasenza saphupha. Zama ukuphupha iPolo. Eqinisweni, akekho umuntu ophupha ngePolo noma iFiesta.
Kodwa namanje angikawuphenduli umbuzo we-Euro esigidini: kungenzeka yini ukuthi i-WRC isheshe njenge-F1?
Hhayi ukuthobela imithethonqubo, kodwa ekuhlolweni kwangasese mhlawumbe. Akubanga nzima ukukhulisa amandla eDelta S4 kuya ku-700 hp ngokunyusa ingcindezi yeTurbo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, sikhuluma ngo-Henri Toivonen. Omunye wabashayeli abanekhono, abangesabi futhi abashesha kakhulu abake bahlala phakathi kwe-baquet nesiteringi semoto ye-rally.
Ku-Russo, uma kwakukhona noma yimuphi umuntu emhlabeni okwazi ukufeza umsebenzi walolu hlobo, kwakunguToivonen.
“Ngokubona kwami uHenri nguyena obeshayela iS4 ngendlela engcono kakhulu. Kwakuyimoto enzima kakhulu. Futhi ukunakwa! Angisho ukuthi abanye abagibeli babengenawo umuzwa nge-S4. Kodwa uHenri wayenokunye, wayenomuzwa okhethekile.
Umshayeli, ngeshwa, owayeyisisulu salowo muzwa. Ingozi eyenzeke ezinyangeni ezimbalwa kamuva yamphuca impilo yakhe kanye nezicoco zomhlaba nakanjani wayezozinqoba. Esithombeni esingezansi, uNinni Russo ekhuluma noHenri Toivonen:
Inganekwane iqala ukwakheka
Kuze kube manje ibhodi lamaphuzu linikeza: Guilherme Costa 1 – 0 Alfredo Lavrador. Sinomshayeli, sinemoto, sinazo zonke izithako zokuqhubeka nokukholelwa kule nganekwane emnandi.Ngakho-ke ake siqhubeke nezitatimende zikaNinni Russo.
OKUPHATHELENE: I-DAF Turbo Twin: “iloli elikhulu” elalifuna ukuwina i-Dakar iyonke
“Emasontweni ambalwa ngaphambi kwe-Rally de Portugal, kwaba nesivivinyo e-Estoril. Bekuyisivivinyo sangasese futhi uHenri ube nesikhathi esimnandi – kunzima ukusho manje ukuthi bekusikhathi sini. Kodwa kwakuyisikhathi esambeka kalula phakathi kwabayi-10 abahamba phambili ekuhlolweni kwe-Formula 1 okwenzeka e-Estoril emasontweni amabili noma amathathu ngaphambili”.
Ima kancane… izivivinyo? Kepha bekungekho kuziqu zeGP yasePortugal?! Izivivinyo zingenye into, iziqu zingenye. Kubi… Guilherme Costa 1 – 3 Alfredo Lavrador.
Njengoba i-Redbull.com ibhala, sekudlule iminyaka engu-30 manje (ngisanda kuzalwa). Futhi njengoba “noma ubani oxoxa indaba enezela iphuzu”, nokho-ke, izivivinyo zeFormula 1 zaqala ukudideka neziqu ngesikhathi seGrand Prix. Akuyona into efanayo.
Ngokusobala, u-Toivonen kanye ne-Delta S4 yakhe abazange babe nethuba ngokumelene ne-Formula 1. Noma kunjalo, kuseyindaba evuthayo. Futhi ngikutshela okwengeziwe. Lapha eRazão Automóvel, nginesibopho sokukhuluma iqiniso, kodwa lapho ngixoxa nabangane angisenaso leso sibopho.
IZIDUMO ZENDULO: Lancia, siyohlala sikukhumbula kanjena!
Ngakho ngithemba ukuthi uzolandela isibonelo sami. Ngokuzayo uma ukhuluma ngezimoto nabangani bakho, qhubeka nokufunza inganekwane yokuthi ngo-1986 iGrande Premio de Portugal, kusukela kumugqa wesibili wegridi, imoto ye-rally ibingase iqale.
Uma abangani bakho befana nabami, uma kuziwa ezimotweni, ngayinye iqamba amanga kakhulu kunomunye (akekho u-Sancho, akekho okholelwa ukuthi iMercedes 190 yakho isasebenza u-200km/h), ngakho-ke... ngicela usakaze le nganekwane ngawo wonke amasoso . Mayelana nabangane bami, abaqambimanga noma cha, ngeke ngibahwebe nganoma yini. Nalaba abangibiza ngohlanya.
