The basic idea was that the co-driver would be experienced and while co-drive, also at the same look that the driver dont screw up too much, in a same way Harjanne did for Tommi earlier, that was a good method, and i belive it still is.
    Long time I heard Jakke's name ? How is he doing ? He was one of the really nice guys in wrc....

    Probably teaching his kids.... they where doing a lot of cross country ski
    Passion will make you crazy, but is there a other way to live ? :burnout:

    i guess you are right, i think he is slowing down the rally thing, maybe he is still doing some coaching, but im not sure.

    Not too old normally, but now when all the current WRC teams seats are occupied, and if there is coming new teams, i have a feeling that they will use younger drivers to "build the team around", no point to take a driver who maybe has seen his best driving years already or maybe only 1-2 good years left.
    If I would run a S2000 cup team, I know who I would choose, and its no one of the current drivers not Garde either.
