    I believe in 2003 the absolute pressure could have been around 3,5 bar but I'm not sure.

    Thanks

    A tradition has been that the president hosts a big party on the independence day with all important people (politicians, celebrities, war veterans etc) being invited and the whole thing is televised. This year, all the Finnish WRC champions (and Markku Alen) will be among the 2000 guests.

    The president Sauli Niinistö has also been a rally co-driver years ago, proved by this picture

    I think there's something about being a rally codriver that tends to make one naturally suited to leadership. There are too many examples to be mere coincidence. David Richards, Jean Todt, Luigi Macaluso, and now you tell us about Niinisto. I dare say many more co-drivers than drivers have gone on to success after their first careers.

    It might just be that they earn a lot less and therefore have to work longer.

    Maybe management rather than leadership?

    This was well put by Ari Vatanen in his early autobiography book (I think it was called “Every second counts”) talking about the mistake his co-driver made at the 1985 Monte Carlo Rally and the massive range of skills these people possess, he was very complimentary as far as I remember (read the book almost twenty years ago).

    Just in time for the Mahonen interview aftermaths. The route of the 1000 Lakes Rally 1986 had only one stage over 20 kms (SS19 Ekojärvi 22,23 km) and 11 stages between 10 and 20 km, with the remaining 36 stages under 10 kms long. Even Ouninpohja was cut into two 7 km stages.
