    What if Mikko was driving C4 WRCar in Finland??? or even Subaru???

    I just wonder what the outcome of NORF could of been if Mikko drove C4 WRCar. Why Finns don't opt for the better cars. To be honest, I think even Subaru could of done the job for Mikko 2 weeks ago. So, what's all about Finns liking Ford so much, they will never provide car capable of wining the drivers title.

    You honestly think that the Subaru is better than the Ford?

    Mikko got second because he didn't have the maturity/experience to be truly 100% for every cm of every stage. He even said he was too cautious and that he just wasn't 100% on the limit all the time to be able to beat Seb.

    I know what you mean and don't disagree completely, but the times Atko posted at the end just makes me think about it.

    There is not so many choises, and different drivers contracts ends at different times, so its much a coinsident that Mikko drives a Ford i think, but 1 thing im quite sure about, there will never be a driver managed by Jouhki driving a subaru prepaired by prodrive, that bad treatment Mikko did get last time.
    But I think the outcome would have been the same even with the Citroen.

    1. The outcome would most probably been the same
    2. Why don't finns opt for better cars? So far Finns have driven at least Citroen, Subaru, Ford, Lancia, Suzuki, Mitsubishi, Talbot, Toyota, Seat etc.. Which one would suit you the best? So far we've done just fine I guess.
    3. I'm a finn and I don't like Ford. I like VW and Porsche for example.
    4. The only driver in WRC at the moment who gets to choose his drive is Seb (I guess)
    5. So far Finns have won quite a few drivers titles, at least 20 something from 70's and many before that

    Guess you havent watched the WRC for a while as Ford have been constructors champions for the last 2 years so obviously better than Subaru at the moment

    Is your life really so boring? Or why start this thread?
    Ford have made some very good cars since the move to MSport, half of them had the ability but not the luck or occasionally the drivers to win titles.
    Mikko in a C4 would not be faster than a Focus, and a Sub? daft suggestion :-)
