Žala's super moment in Samsonas Rally Rokiškis - https://youtu.be/u1LKD7s6k3I
In media was written, that Asunmaa's car can't be prepared properly because Rally Finland is only one week before, and about Salo don't know. I could be due cost - it's cheaper rallying for fun with Subaru. Basically everyone in guests category waving to crowd and have good time. Also Samsonas has connections with Finnish Subaru tunners, where he started few rallies with Subaru, so maybe they helped to invite Salo and Asunmaa and also delivered cars. Both of them entrant was Jukka Hara - maybe this name familiar to you?
I read a Finnish interview where Salo says the rally organizer had prepared them rental Subarus, tyres, everything ready, and just invited them to drive. Salo and Asunmaa have been doing business with Samsonas, so probably related to that.
Any more comments in Finnish media from them about rally itself, about rallying in Lithuania? do they like it?
16. EMV1,LRC1 2017 0 KALLE ROVANPERÄ / JONNE HALTTUNEN LAT / FIN SKODA FABIA R5 TGS WORLDWIDE
Kalle with other co-driver on entry list, instead of Pietiläinen in Lõuna-Eesti Ralli 2017. http://www.autosport.ee/rallyreg/?page=27&race_id=394&
Looks like Saaremaa rally in Estonia will have really interesting and good driver line-up this year. Ott Tänak have already said that he will compete in a R5, in local forum there are some talk about 2 other top WRC drivers who have said Yes. Organizer have told that they work hard to get as much previous winners to start as possible.
Also there is a "new" stage witch was last used in 2001 i think.
