    Vetomies entry list with numbers, this year 2wd will start first (and only foreign competitor last)

    Looks like nice fight between RWD and FWD cars, fast drivers in both types.
    Also it is nice to see that the two Step2 Lancer WRCs will be there, bit of a shame Vihavainen is not driving, I would be interested in his times compared to newer cars.

    Well, Vihavainen is well over 50y old...
    His deal with that WRC02 has ended, probably driving FabiaR5 next.

    They needed to slow it down. No chicanes needed.

    Very narrow, some stones visible even now.

    Could be hard to get there and maid be difficult (or impossible) to find good spectating place.

    Hej Panty... wait a minute..what kind of nick-name is that?
    Anyway, Pantiiii can you do me a favor if you have a chance?? Not very difficult but since it's partially my fault i want to try and help..

    because there is such good action in F-cup I have introduced it to America and out frozen neighbors to the North...Some of the guys kind of missed that obvious car is Volvo 240--of which there are millions laying around here----winning series last what 4 years..
    Nope they got excited about all the E36 BMWs...
    Several have built them, and spent too TOOO much in my opinion and now the chicken comes home to roost:

    They are suffering chronic failures in some areas--and remember, average shopper who lives on your SS roads going to get groceries drivers quicker than most of these guys on rally.. so they and I are puzzled and wondering what the F-cup BMW guys are doing in just a couple of areas:::
    Rear Lower shock mount--cast iron..paska. they break.
    With paaaaaaska cast iron what do guys do?

    Differential mounting, super paska..
    Again I don't see F-cup guys dragging diffs behind cars so looks like they don't fall out

    What are they doing?

    Maybe you can ask, maybe you can crawl under a car or 2 and take some photos..and send..

    Or maybe you just say the hell with it and tell them to buy a 240 Volvo to win!

    Hello everyone. My son and I are driving to Finland from the UK and I have a few questions if I may:
    Which is the best way to drive into the Ouninpohja stage? Is it down the road/stage itself before the road closure or will there be spectator entry through the forest? I was going to ask about the National rally but I see that it has already been mentioned. Can someone be kind enough to provide a link for more information regarding the entry list please. Is there a problem with mosquitoes in the forests? We are planning to see shakedown, service, SS1, SS2 Halinen, SS5 Halinen, service SS9 Laukaa, SS12 Laukaa (Our hotel is close by), SS16 Ouninpohja, SS19 Ouninpohja, SS23 Oittila, SS25 Oittila. Thanks.

    EDIT: I have just found the National entry list https://akk.autourheilu.fi/Public/Ki...n.aspx?id=4841

    You mean the spot where they turn off and then not enough speed for Hänninen's corner? Can't remember anything good between there but plenty of places before they turn off to the narrow road, been in the area 3 times Looks like there could be something interesting on the narrow road, need to see it in real life
