The city Government took the decision to reduce the SS1 SuperSpecial in Saint-Petersburg... The start will be in the center of the city in Isaaky Square and the 1st special stage will be held next morning in Vyborg (the rally distance is 180-200 km away from Saint-Petersburg to the Finnish state board).

Will the TAIF Rally Team run this rally with their new 207 S2000

[Alex Nakhapetov]

Don't know meanwhile, but I'll get the info soon. In Finland Radik Shaymiev started on his new Peugeot S2000 for the 1st time, but was taken off the competition because of the mistake in documents - when team's manager sent the documents to organizers in the spring 2007 he wrote S2000 in Group A, what is mistake - it competes in Group N only. Shaymiev in the middle of the rally was offered to stop the race, but he refused and went all 7 stages without final result. As to his opinion, the car is much more better than his Lancer Evo8 (at least I;ve seen him for the last time in Estonia on Evo8), and it will take some time to learn new car.

Rally roads in Vyborg are very difficul and hard - we call them "3-dimention" roads with many-many different turnes, and these roads are full of stones.

Yes I've listened the interview, but he said he want to do a IRC round to train for Rally Vinho Madeira, but as you know Russia is a gravel event....Pluto is right. Perhaps he is thinking in Ypres but in that time he has forgotten he will be present in Rally of Maritimo in same date!
