I hope that for Organizer and Fans, that he will be there. As I told you, thats the decision after Barum, if they change, everything is OK.

Weakest IRC entry for ages

I hope the series can regain it's former glory when Peugeot and Skoda come with R5.

Seems thats the final entry list IRC:

PRIME Yalta Rally - Crew Site

But where is Flodin? Thought he had a test and will be there?

[tolis]

Only 7 S2000-RRC cars:

S2000 1.6T
Protasov (Fiesta S2000 RRC)
Tamrazov (Fiesta S2000 RRC)
Salyuk jr (Mini Cooper S2000 1.6T)

S2000
Pajunen (Fiesta S2000)
Avci (Fiesta S2000)
Vazheyevskyy (Peugeot 207 S2000)
Vizin (Skoda Fabia S2000)

Only 1 Fabia!
It's a great opportunity for Pajunen to score a podium!

But where is Flodin? Thought he had a test and will be there?

I think that there were no plans at Flodin to start on Yalta.

[Hartusvuori]

So what would be the best approach for Pajunen? Push like hell in his first S2000 start and get the most out of that chance - and perhaps win or retire - or take a more calm approach, drive clean and secure a podium in an event with such weak entry. Technical issues would be the worst case.

Whose car is it?

[donlorean]

Whose car is it?

"Mikko Pajunen, who is co-driven by Kimi Räikkönen’s former navigator Kaj Lindström in an M-Sport Ford Fiesta S2000."
