Kosti rolled his car on SS2 according to MTV3 rally news, must have been an awfull fast roll because he is only 17,5 s behind the leader... :dozey:

Back in Dubai I guess.... :D

When I met him there early January he said only Arctic rally was planned

But this could change

[DonJippo]

He had an off and retired on SS3.

[DonJippo]

F1 driver Kimi Räikkonen 6th overall after SS5..very good rally for him :up:

Jari Ketomaa's time is missing both from SS4 & 5 so in reality Kimi's position should be 7th after SS5, very good result anyhow :up:

[WRC1]

impressive performance of the iceman!! he was anyway my favorit in f1, but now even more!

and it seems the result of pirelli drivers search was right!! nikkara seems to be quiet fast guy ;o)

[Fri]

He had an off and retired on SS3.

Thanks!

I was watching there as it is in my hometown. Really nice rally with difficult roads! the conditions were good, icy roads and some snow banks. Ketomaa was clearly the best driver, giving it all and lil bit more(it's his home rally too) and his driving was the most spetacular. At least those places where i was watching. Nikara was the biggest positive thing for me! Great driving!

Kimi drove well, and there has been huge progress since Artic lapland rally. There he was about +2 secs/km behind the lead, improving towards end, and here he was maybe +1 sec/km behind. And he made his own pace notes too, which were according to his co-driver very simple, but accurate, not too slow or fast. About his style, its kinda early to say, but what i saw he is pushing hard and his lines are maybe not so clean. He sort of pushes the curves and controls well with throttle. Maybe bit like in F1 i guess :P

after all, nice day and a nice rally :)

Within a few minutes I will post on my homepage (which will be in B&W untill monday to pay tribute to José Megre, 'father' of Cross Coutry Rallying in Portugal but, above all a friend that died this morning) a short resumee of the rally.
