RBR Motorsport Forums Cup 2009
Round 6-End Of Season: Rally Finland
9,10,11 October 2009
Rally I.D.
The final rally of the season takes place on wintry gravel roads
In the forests of the Autiovaara region. Temperatures can drop
below -20 degrees Celsius when the rally is on, but the special
challenge of the frozen roads means the event is one of the
most popular among drivers. To succeed in Finland, you need
a sublime combination of commitment,
fingertip feel and lightning reactions.

Man, Finland already! Cool, lets get this thing started!

NeverKnow

World Rally Team Estonia driver Neverknow will drive the final rally in the Richard Burns Rally Cup in a Subaru Impreza WRC '02. The reason behind this is that Focus he drove in the last two events is in the rebuild. "I am little disappointed that I can't drive Focus here. After the previous event the engineers found out that there was signs of stress on rollbars and major components of the car. So they decided to sent the car to rebuilding and unfortunately this taking a little longer than usually," he said.
The estonian will tackle the snow rally in a older Impreza. Despite this he hasn't lost his hope for the victory. "We had oportunity to choose between a number of cars but I chose the Impreza because I have driven this car on 3 rallies already. I know what the car is capable of and when to push. On this event everyhting is possible and it is really easy to make a retiring mistake. So why not go for the win," estonian said.
Last rally of RBR Cup Rally Finland is held 9 - 11 October on the icy and snowy roads of Finland.

I'll be there for the rally! I will be away from tuesday until sunday, so hopefully I will be able to do the rally before I go/when I get back home! Will the timetable be out on monday LCD?

Having being living in Norway for the past 13 years, I am hoping to go fast on this event. I am planning to test both the 05 Impreza WRC and the 06 Focus WRC before the rally, to see which suits me better in the snow conditions.

The final rally of the season!!So quickly RBR will end.
I can't wait a lot for the next championship LCD

Snow is really difficult to drive but hope for the best from myself...
I hadn't still decide with what car I'll drive,WRC or S2000.Practice and shakedown will give me the answers that I need!
