    Well done Marcus.
    RX was born on February 4 1967 at Lydden Circuit, Kent, England as a TV show event for invited rally drivers only (the winner was Vic Elford with Porsche 911) and is still the TV spectacle per se. But live at the tracks it is ten times better anyway.
    RX = You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave!

    Agree, its a good way to spend a day, I was in the past always at Ahvenisto watching the ERC, and the natonal events here was good level and proper cars too.

    Blimey, what a pity that the Ahvenistolla is no longer used for ERC rounds and had not been chosen as the venue for the 2008 candidate event for a 2009 Finnish ERC round. They went on June 8 to Kouvola instead and I understood that the Tykkimäen Moottorirata was not in favour of those who grant ERC rounds. However, the Ahveniston Moottorirata was always one of my absolute favourite ERC tracks, with a very compact course, nice corners and flowing gravel bends as well as a fine and comprehensible paddock. And those regular visits to my good friend Timo Kittelä (of Rally Systems Oy) at Kellokoski is also something to remember with great pleasure.

    Yes true, and very good for spectartors as well, easy to get there and to get away after the event + no matter where you did sit you could see easily the whole action, about Tykkimäki I have no idea.

    Interesting thanks for the history.I googled it and found a wiki article talking about Australia and how it flopped here sad and surprising considering the great one Peter Brock (RIP ) was one of the early proponents.

    I love how the drivers seem to have no fear they just go for it.

    I did about 50% of that wiki article, also the complete Aussie part. However, the wiki article in my mothertongue is much wider and for 95% my work, apart from the more recent pics.
