I don't know how the WRC cars eat the tyres. However some years back in the Finnish Championship Arctic there was a big difference whether you were driving on snow/ice or if the ruts already had...

When you take the winter clothes, boots and showels out of the car you'll stay warm for a couple of hours. No problem 😀

Ten years ago you had to have some logs in the car to be able make a fire to keep you warm if you had to retire. You also had to have a knife in the car to end the misery of a reindeer in case it was...

That's always dangerous to say to a Finn. When a Finn is drinking the amount consumed is his/hers own business :) For other nationalities I can't comment how big of an insult a comment like that is...

They love to watch crashes. Simple as that. I'm not a fan of "professional spectators", but atleast they are really fast to lift you back to the road.

As a Finn I would say Tommi will let them fight. But at this point too early to worry about team orders. Anything can still happen and the main thing is to drive away from the competition.

And now of course there are two questions to answer:
A) is the car built by the village idiots amazingly good so that even dogs can drive it fast?
B) are the drivers superhuman that they can drive...

Around from 0 to -7 celcius. Normally it has been from -10 to -15 in Mikkeli during the rally, but this winter has been very mild so it might be about the same temperature as now.

Unfortunately he went of on the horse race track super special. Always nice that he brings exotic cars to the start line. Last year he was driving a 206 wrc which you don't see anymore in the Finnish...

Two years ago he drove with a Ferrari 308 :)

I'm not sure if this is a very common problem here in Finland. If I'm not mistaking the mount breaks because the suspension is bottoming out. The easiest solution is buying a proper suspension. Also...

Basically everyone knows someone driving an E36. It's so common nowadays. You can post your questions of the failures here. I'm pretty sure someone can help. For example my brother is building his...

Even us Finns can put the drinking on hold if there is a worthy cause...

Normally I don't consider Latvala as the strongest person mentally. This time however he has kept Ogier behind him for two days. I don't think it matters to Latvala that the gap is smaller, because...

There's nothing to gain for Skoda to enter Lappi. They are focusing on ERC. Especially since they don't have the R5 car ready yet so why send Lappi to Finland with the S2000. And if Lappi would like...

Sorry for Ingram to roll the car. He was showing good speed until he rolled. I'm very impressed with Jaro Kinnunen's pace in his first tarmac rally. On the last stages of the day his sec per...

Salo has no been excluded, but he will make an appeal. The appeal has to be processed during 30 days after it has been made. I would assume it will be processed very swiftly since the next FRC round...

Interesting to see the battle between Kruuda and Nikara. Atleast that's my guess on who are going to fight for the victory. Anyhow a great entry list for the Arctic! Lots of nice cars and good...

Here are the final results. Seems that rallism.fi hasn't bothered to update then English side of the pages with the results.

No maps available yet. The recce hasn't started yet so the stages are still a secret.

From youtube some videos can be found with "turku ralli 2013" or something similar searches. Here is Nikko's crash SM Turku Ralli Ek 3 Joni Nikko - YouTube

Åhlin was driving with a Fiesta R2....

Are all the Finns sleeping it off or something? :) Propably most dramatic rally of the season. On the 4wd side Salo retired on Friday, Vihavainen went off the road and Nikko had problems. On Saturday...

If anyone has pictures from Saturday from the car 248 (white-orange BMW M3 in the Vetomies extra class) I would be very interested in them. Especially in Ouninpohja the right hander with guard...

Vasily Gryazin certainly made an impression among the 4wd cars. Really well driven for a guy of his age.

SM3 class is always the class to watch for. That's where the real battles are nowadays and...
