Wales Rally GB 2017

Anyway, it seems only haters are expecting a result from him.

It's too much PR around him. Wilson and Latvala start GB at 17yrs and didn't have such a media wave.

That´s true, but it´s totally different world nowadays. Too much hype and hopefully Kalle is strong enough to be at the center of attention!

He was as fast as tideman last year one rally when they both have skoda R5

Yes, in fact Kalle was bit faster. Both of them was in TGS cars, both in new roads, they never driven before, Kalle lost rally by 9.8 sec, while lost ~17.6sec in one stage because of power steering issues (if I remember correctly). Does Pointus drive not flat out?, I think so - it was preparation for Poland, did Kalle drive not flat? Who know, but he never had accident on gravel, so could be. Kalle is fast already, maybe clock not always shows that, but it's only due lack of experience.

At Latvia Kalle was driving as a home event, he has been driven there more than Finnish roads. Pontus was there at his first time and the target was just getting familiar with the conditions for the Rally Poland, not driving against Kalle.

Only time before Wales they both drive in one rally, was in Lithuania, and that was first time for both of them in these roads. And Tidemand know how to drive on gravel roads very well

Hopefully this is the right place to post.

I'm attending the WRGB tomorrow up near the Brenig. This is my first ever rally event so wanted to get input on good places to watch from and things I should be aware of as a "newbie".
