Are you sure about this, I remember Pentti once told about the Brittish licence but the reasons why he had it was very different.

A little off topic, but you Antony might know, did Mazda Rally Team (Europe) have any collaboration with Mikael Sundströms Muurala Motors in the past? I was just thinking becaus he did build good...

you have to show some understanding for the toss, he is coming from a place where nobody can drive a rally car, and where national heroes are guys like ante gotovina, it cant be very easy.

i belive it depends on how reliable the part is, if it is reliable they put it in both cars, if not, then maybe only in the other to make sure that atleast 1 car finishes

i dont belive that the cars are tailor made, it does not make any sense, the setups offcourse are individual but the car it self is same for the works guys.

Pykälistö did work for Citroen, not Peugeot.
For Peugeot was involved, Grönholm, Panizzi, at beginning also Auriol but he got the boot and was replaced with Aghini.

Agree same like Audi did with Mikkola too, if it would be up to me I would pick Ketomaa, he can drive but even more important, excellent test driver and he understand about how cars should be too....

It depends on the champion, Grönholm would have got a deal this year if he would have wanted.

I would say it depends on the national championship, here it would be impossible that a gentleman driver could win a championship.

from your team atleast Grönholm did have a mental trainer back then, Latvala has the same trainer now, both are private arranigments, not from M-Sport.

in all sports the guy who is better prepaired, coached, have better equipment has always the upper hand, not only in motorsport, but in rally I belive skill matters very much also. In Group F there...

Its difficult to say exactly what F-Group cars cost because they are mostly self built, but something between 20000€-50000€.
Its also possible to rent cars, the price for that is about 1000€-2000€/...

Then welcome to Finnish F-Cup

ahaa ok.

Did you have any manager or did you try to make your own contracts?

It would be good also if the privateers should look after their rights and make air tight agreements, when it comes to about the car. tyres etc....., then teams could not take advantage of young guys...

sorry but can you explaine to me what this has to do with how teams treat privateers, i failed to understand.

Maybe, but not long time ago Tuohino told same kind off stuff in Vauhdin Maailma about Citroen.

Thats not what I mean, only said the story is subjective because it is.

I guess you mean the subjective true story?

Forgot to ask you, did you have any manager? And do you think that professional rally drivers should have competent managers.

Interesting reading, but nothing exactly new in the big picture, favoritism has been always in rally, Audi did favor some driver same did Lancia Ford did favor McRae according to Solberg Subaru did...
