not as bad as having no finland in 2009 at all.
no le mans 24 hours as part of the le mans series would be funny.

Curly moustache man – I have an even better idea. We should remove rallies that have been around for decades and put them on the back burner.
Big nosed jerk – Yeah, the fans can go to hell. We don't need any suggestions from those plebes that attend our sport. They don’t know what is best for the WRC.Marco Simoncelli 1987-2011

As sad I am to see Ouninpohja change I also must say that I sort of understand the reasons why it must change. This Year the drivers said that it was "too" fast. I think If they think so it is better do something now than cry later. I've been on that stage maybe 25 times and it's not always been in this road we've seen in later years. That region is the heart of finnish rallying. There are plenty of exiting alternative roads there.
The "rollercoast" part will go. The competitors averaged 180 kph + on that section and boy.... that is fast. I'd hate to see anyone having a puncture there..."San Romolo opettaa"
