His team was also cooperating in building S2000 cars for Škoda Motorsport customers. Also capable of major rebuilds of all Škoda WRC cars.

Wonder if he had anything to do with the design of the illegal turbo restrictor? Must be nice to be labelled a genius from Mosley!

Anyway - this is still NORF thread...

Me and my son Simon was in Finland for 11th time in 13 years.

Very good rally this year. As always. Strange though, Jyväskylä didn´t have camping places for tenters. We had to find our own place outside the center of J-Ä. At the shore of Taulumäki we finally found a place to put our tent although it was quite near some industri buildings and near a thoroughfare for exercising people running almost around the clock...

We did 8 stages and got to talk to Ken Block after his off on Leustu. We also saw Mads on his very BIG moment at Leustu just before Saakoski.

We met friendly people we ever met before, nice finnish people on stages and after reading this forum I reccon we were at same place as Hartusvuori on Urria...

Even met Morten, Katie J at Ford, Per Carlsson, Camelopard and his lovely wife Erica, Mads and Jonas at recce on Mynnilä, Kai T and many more people.

I got my very need of Finland and will with love come back next year to the most beloved rally in the WRC. Having said that during listening to Jorma Kääriäinen on Spotify....

What you explained about the changes in Citroen appeared to me as news, not as excuses.

And I'd like to add too, don't leave for this.

I think anyone with their eyes open could see a change from previous rallies this season. Citroen found an edge speed wise....seems like new suspension part could be part of the reason!

Citroen took 16 stage wins compared to Ford 3.

Here are our pictures if you are interested to see some: We hope you like them.

for which reason are these wooden poles next to the road? aren t they dangerous in a possible off?

This is similar in Estonia and in Finland. Those are traditional fences for old farm properties. They are usually more for cosmetic purposes than for defending purposes. Construction wise they are very light wooden poles and usually not even able to go through the car window.

Sorry if I have missed it, but is there any onboard of Mikkos record run through Ouninpohja?

It was not a record run. Mikko's time on Ouninpohja 2 was indeed 1,2 seconds faster that Petter's time in 2004, but in 2004 the stage was 230 metres longer.
