Three musketeers
A couple of years ago I started a thread of three musketeers; Paasonen, Pykälistö and Tuohino, and about their future in WRC. At that time it looked rather bright.
Well, I think it's time for conclusion. None of it happened. Thank you. No further questions Your Hounour.Another Flying Finn

World Championship is interesting and it is nice to see a top driver of your own country at the top there, but I am starting to realise to that nothing is more exciting to have great drivers and great battles in your own country.
Those three that you might never really made it into world championship, but it is not the end of the world. I hope they are pasionate enough to get back to their home country, find the right budget and sho their own country that they are worth their money...
PS: Just got back from belgian TAC Rally, where I saw Freddy Loix and Larry Cols battling, one was world top level in WRC, other in JWRC...Post your own splits on the net: find RallyStopwatch on the Google Play Store.

A.F.F., stop crying! Your three musketeers aren't competing in WRC, but it doesn't mean that they are dead and should be buried! There are other championships than just WRC! I fully agree with HaCohttp://www.rallymadness.prv.pl - rally photos and movies!

Les Trois Mousquetaires is one of the best books I have on Belgian rallying! As for your choice of three musketeers in the UK we had Wilkes,Meeke and McShea and what happened to them...just the same in reality.

There are still Finns who will carry the Finnish flag in WRC for a long time like Hirvonen and Latvala, and there will be new talents, so no worries!
Waiting for Subaru to come back to be :champion:

Finlands ability to produce 'has beens' and 'wannabes' the last few years is amazing

Is this guy for real? From some of your other posts I can only presume that you are a troll and looks like I fell for it .
