    Jari Ketomaa 2012 season

    Jari Ketomaa huippukalustolla MM-sarjaan - MTV3.fi - Urheilu - Ralli - Uutiset

    The program contains five rallyes; Sweden, Acropolis, Portugal, Finland obviously and Rally GB. Ketomaa is faster than Paasonen so resultwise thinking, I'm way disappointed if he is not the champion after rally GB!!!!

    Ketomaa has not tested the car nor the tyres yet. His plan is to get to know the car on the snow of Sweden. After that he expects podium results from the remaining rallyes That's the spirit

    Ketomaa sure knows how to talk the talk, now he only has to walk the walk.

    If he is slower than Tanak, he can move back to China and rally there.

    On serious note, I'm honestly glad Ketomaa has even this small program for this season. The guy is fast. I hope he shoots and scores

    Me too, hopefully he can deliver something. DMack tires are unproven though ...

    I share your thoughts. There was a long silence from Ketomaa and I'd given up hope already in this economical climate. One thing for sure, this is better than nothing. But I hope we won't hear excuses on the tyres - although, don't bite the hand that feeds you even if the tyres would prove not worthy. We don't know yet.

    Ketomaa is very charismatic, a rally driver who we don't know for always complaining but rather the opposite.

    Apparently former "manager" Kim Vatanen or Craig Pollock are no more supporting Ketomaa. Anybody know what is the situation? Maybe Ogier´s well-paid contract with VW was enough for them...

    Without the support from the DMack tyres it would not be possible and great to see some role also for Grönholm and Harkimo, but I doubt that they are putting own money to this project...
