It's so good to see a 208 T16 not hampered by reliability problems !!! Juha Salo leading the field at Arctic Lapland Rally with 3 stages left to go :)
Behind him, Asunmaa(+16") and Mänty(+22"8) driving Skoda Fabia R5 and Nikara(+22") his Subaru...

Why do they write Salo lost 22' on SS6(he was +9" before they changed time) ???? :mad:
Edit: it was a problem with the times, RAS for Juha...
Oh noooo, gutted, Teemu Asunmaa beats Juha Salo at the end of the Arctic Lapland for 7"7(big time on the 54km final stage) :mark:
Asunmaa - how old is he? ewrc does not appear to have details.

Is Salo's car getting a bit old? Does PSA have a newer R5 for him?
what about the 2 Japanese Toyota drivers ? (Katsuta,Arai)
Jarkko Nikara highest placed TMR car - 4th in Subaru

11th- Hiroki Arai
45th - Katsuta
Jarkko Nikara with only RWD on the last stage. Read from a Finnish forum that he made a gear change from fifth gear to second and the front drive didn’t like it. Maybe we will have more news when pantealex and br21 returns from the rally.

yes, truth with Nikara, pity as he was driving really well.
great event, really special, one of a kind. japanese juniors - one had technical issues, other lost lot of time on one stage. which is nothing extraordinary when you look how often it happened to other drivers, those stages are really demanding. Salo was driving great, using his experience and showing that well maintained PSA R5 can be good car! Other DS3 R5 also finished high.
