Novikov has confirmed that he ends his rally carrer.
Just about Finland 2011, is anyone able to suggest a place to stay for the rally or someone who has some rooms available?
Better to wait till end of next February and rally guide 1 with confirmed route before you start booking any accomodation.Quote:

I heared from an Moto GP engineer that Suzuki is developing a 1.6T engine (he met a guy who apperantly runs it on a dyno). I told him that he probably tells me loads of bollocks, but as it turns out, there`s no smoke without fire :) . I hope it`s true!
He said that he wants to concentrate on business. He'll have rallying as a hobby.Quote:

Kruuda told in an interview that he is planning to drive something with 4WD (probably PWRC or SWRC) in WRC and probably some starts in IRC as well.
M-Sport cheated them.. Now it's better to buy copletlly new car then to upgrade it to WRC version..
Keep on with your dream. :rolleyes:Quote:

Future from Petter. Maybe 2010 was my last season
Because of greater than expected price of the new WRCs?Quote:

I don't think Tajima is allowed near any 'official' Suzuki projects.Quote:

Suzuki will not touch him any more....
Ketomaa said he would like to stay in WRC with the Chinese team. Be it S2000 or WRC is up to the team, he is happy to drive either
What has he done wrong to be banned by the Suzuki bosses?Quote:

So, Friday will cover quite a big geographical area (from Jämsä to Lammi, what, around 170-180 kms, at least), but the change is most welcomed. Hopefully the schedule will be made so that there is enough time to move around from spectators point of view as well. That we'll know in late February.
Helsingin Sanomat is quoting the M-Sport feature from last week's Vauhdin Maailma, where Christian Loriaux revealed that they nearly "killed Marcus and Timo" when Marcus drove 06 spec Focus for the first time in a test for Sweden 2006. They had left screws loose on the steering wheel which caused an off at 200 km/h. The incident was kept in secret from press as well as Malcolm Wilson.
Google translate
Speaking of Ford and steering wheels, and supertitions, for this year's Portugal they put Marcus' old steering wheel for Mikko's car, a part that have won several rallies - but it didn't help. :-) Nice little details.
In 2005 I`ve found this photo from Gronholm`s first tests: http://rallyzone.ru/i/news/1133995079459039.jpg Does anyone have a bigger photo?Quote:
