Citron Junior team got reprimand due to testing on wrong site:

Petter and Chris did 3 runs at todays Shakedown here in Finland, and at the time they finished they were the fastest car through so far. Mikko Hirvonen did 4 runs and ended with the fastest time through.
- We had two really good days of testing before the rally, and the three runs today just confirmed that, says Petter Solberg. – Everything worked perfectly, so we just decided to stop after 3 runs.
Shakedown stage was 4,6kms, and Petters average speed was 125 km/ph. During one run he did 39 gear changes, at one point in 6th gear for 25 seconds.
which penalties or sanctions ?Quote:

If I'm not mistaken, quickest runs:
1st run Petter
2nd run Mikko
3rd run Mikko
My name is Leo and I race rally cars in Canada (known to some as CrazyLeo). This year my girlfriend and I decided to come to Finland to watch the rally. We are actually on our way to the first stage right now.
It so happened that we have booked an appartment with an extra room with 2 extra beds at the place we're staying, because our friends, who were supposed to bring the car couldn't make it (my friend's wife gave birth to their son yesterday!) So, we are stuck without a car... and all rental places are sold out.
If someone is going to see a lot of the stages (get up early, stay up late :cool :) on Friday and Saturday and has 2 seats in the car, I though you could take us with you...
And if you or any of your friends need a place to crash - you're welcome to take the room and 2 beds that are vacant because of my friends didn't make it.
Please let me know, my cell is
+358 405 676 377
OR
+7 926 63 521 63
Because time is short, please call instead of a PM.
Cheers,
Leo
Best of luck Leo :) Would be a pity if you didn't get to see the rally, it really is fantastic :)
offcourse he gets, some one read this and pick him and gf up, the only problem is that most guys stay far from the town.Quote:

kkk slower than Ketooma!!
Nice to see J.Kankunen and J. Repo back in a world rally time sheet!!
God luck to the oldie!
juha slower than Al Quassimy ???
Kankku slower than Al-Qassimi hurts, but too early for conclusions I think.
Loeb at pre-start press-conference said interesting words about Ogier:
"The question was what I think about the story: for sure in the last rally we saw the fight between Seb and me and to have both in the team and all this, it would be easier for him to be in Ford. Now he is in my team, he is my team-mate and we try to work well together".
HE is in MY team!!!!
Ok, Seb 2.0, now you may forget about wins...
Raikonnen samw time as al quassimy...Solberg attacks.
Back from the first day. We went early to shakedown to get to the place we had recced, and it was totally worth it. It was at the same straight of jumps that someone already posted pictures from. Nice shady place, also, you know, this has been THE hottest day ever in Finland, thought that was in eastern Finland, but we got well along in Jyväskylä region as well.
Ford drivers attack, that's for sure. and apparently it was fast as well, haven't checked much shakedown times yet though. On third runs both Hirvonen and Latvala landed on the nose, but on the fourth run both landed okey. I asked Mikko about, and he said it was how he drove the place, not with setups or so. Other Fords - no competion.
Citroen's did well of course. Petter Solberg was most spectacular, but perhaps not the quickest. It'll be interesting to see what kind of times Sebs, Sordo and Petter will set. In the service park Sordo was absent, at least I didn't any of him. Ogier was like he was meant to be on the factory seat. Sebs and Petter were really relaxed.
Then the S2000s. They come in numbers, but you can tell who are the real drivers. Nasser Al-Attiyah is perhaps a flight pilot, he's jumps were just crazy. For a first timer that could prove to be a non-finish. Hopefully not. Then Hänninen and Ketomaa. Hopefully it'll be a close fight, but I think Ketomaa wins it by far. Rantanen, PGA and Sandell were okeyish as well.
Now some rest, it's not that many hours before start to Urria stage.
Solberg wins the mini stage...real rally tommorow.
Thats for sure a good new!!! Respect to Peter!Quote:

I got his message - and if you read this CrazyLeo, this is a reply - and unfortunately I can't. I'm a passenger myself, and like you can imagine on a tight schedule. There are some bus rides to Fridays and Saturdays stages from Service Park, so the situation isn't hopeless, I hope. More info on the spectators guide.Quote:

At above, I was also thinking. Being first on the road is never good right?
