Championship standings: http://www.rallism.fi/attachements/2...0-06-05318.pdf
Points will be given to top 10 as follows: 22-18-15-12-10-8-6-4-3-2
Group F Vetomies rally will be held together with FRC events in Lapua and Kerava (September 17th). However, in Lapua there are only 19 entries to Vetomies event. Unfortunalately there's a date clash with 1000 Lakes Rally, a historic event held on the familiar 1000 Lakes stages on the same day and that lured more Gr. F drivers.
And as it've been mentioned earlier, at FRC Lapua, Jari-Matti Latvala will drive Ford Escort BDA as a course car. He is a rally official but nevertheless will be driving as he likes - fast.
Where is Hämäläinen Karis Fiesta from? their own team or rented somewhere?

Quite interesting development in Australia:
RallySport Magazine - ARC CEO thrilled with 2WD rally car progress
I like the idea of privateers being able to build cars that can compete against manufacturers. Just like in the UK, original N4 will be banned. Instead FWD and RWD cars will compete against each other.
Hope this will atract more teams and drivers!

My photo from end of the SS3 Lapua :

Juha Salo's evo x (second overall before that), car just "puff" got flames behind the car at the stage end TC. I was 300m before finnish watching and he has no problems there.
Lappi (C2R2max) and Kinnunen(Honda Civic) crashed at the first stage.
What apened with Rantanen?
after ss3 and in service they noticed that gasoline tank was leaking and retired...Quote:

A bit of mixed feelings on the event. Time table was good - we saw first 25-60 cars on three of the four stages with no problems. On first SS1 we saw one off (Vainionpää), SS3 was nice spot as well and SS4 a tight yet stale tarmac left which is of course unusual in Finnish rallying. On that corner - which on SS1 was the first corner of the whole rally Dutch gentlemen driver Kees Burger had a double roll in Subaru, roll cage dameged. Then again cars after first 20 ran with terrible long intervals - which of course was due to ambulance on SS1. Also, the number of retirements was huge - 45 out of 100 and many of them were top runners: Nikara, Salo, Ketomäki, Rantanen, Hiltunen; Lappi, Mänty, Hautamäki, Kinnunen. Hautamäki had a good chance to take the lead on 2WD, as well as Mänty had a great chance to take "home victory" - alas but no. A pacenote error apparently caused victory for Joonas Lindroos, however the championships are very much open for the last round which of course is good.
Pinch of salt for the rally was of course Jari-Matti Latvala in an Escort MkII. Saw him on SS1 and SS4 (he missed half of SS2 and SS3 for clutch problems) and he wasn't saving the car - definitely most spectacular driving of the day.
I was spectating (Historic) Rally of 1000 Lakes in Jyväskylä area but phones rang... Kinnunen's Civic was pretty much totalled? Apparently there was a place in somewhere on SS 1, Lappi and Kinnunen off at the same place?
He broke the gearbox two years ago in Lahti and last year he broke it in the tests... JM always 110% :DQuote:

But Longhi is fastest on stages 2 & 3 coming back at 3,4 sec of Turk for overall lead.

Crew okey. You can see the car in this in-car just to realise how early in the stage the accident happened. Kees Burger is like said a gentleman driver who likes to rally in FRC events. Car is prepared by RDF.
Yes, it seems like an easy win for Longhi. ;)Quote:

Austrian Jänner Rallye returns to Czech championship! So this great event held in January will be now part of Austrian championship, Czech championship and European championship.
It is pity, but it looks it is true (according today's press conference).
Why is it a pity? In my point of view - it is my home rally - these news are awesone. Until your post I also thought that the Czech spectators and drivers, especially Pech, Valousek or Cerny, really like the Jänner Rallye. What are the reasons of your opinion, that the membership of the Jänner Rallye is a disadvantage for MMCR and ERC?Quote:

For championship it is quite difficult because it is way too early and too special event (there are no gravel or snow events in our championship so almost no-one is prepared for them). I fear that for ERC it is also way too soon in early January.
I really like the event but from our championship point of view it's quite bad decision to put it in because many of the competitors will skip it and lose points already at the start. In the moment we don't have enough crews in the "big" championship and putting another foreign event in the championship won't make the number larger, maybe opposite.
The Mogul Šumava Rally was in the past for years also in February or the begin of March and mostly in snow conditions. You didn't like that too?
Last time Šumava was in February was on snow was six years a go. No-one has same car as in that time. In those years there were two winter rallies in the championship, so having the suspension and tyres made sense. However in Šumava there were big problems with forbidden use of studs in CZ, so there was only Jänner and that was the problem. One rally for which You need special equipment and moreover abroad (I know it's just behind the border but for many sponsors it doesn't matter).
Let's see it from view of let's say Peták or Odložilík. Gravel suspension for S2000 costs maybe 40-50 thousand Euro and for what is it good for them besides one event? The other problem is that large majority of drivers doesn't have sponsorship deals done in first week of the year...
As I said those drivers who wants to drive Jänner would drive it anyway regardless if it is in the championship or not. That is let's say 20 of them but that's far from majority.
Thanks for your answer and I understand what you are saying, but Peták and Odložilík didn't drove in the most recent Czech round...
I don't know why not Odložilík but Peták doesn't like Hustopeče at all. Some time a go he said he wouldn't drive there again and it seems he was serious.
And there is also one point of view - Janner is too early for teams and mechanics. They prefer to stay during Christmas and New Year with their families rather than make recce / tests / stay in garage and prepare the car...
This week-end Bruno Magalhaes is running Rallye Ourense in Spain in order to prepare Ypres ;) but why in a Mitsubishi Lancer GrN :confused:
Masrallye - Rallyes Tiempos en directo - Rallyes Tiempos on line
Also this week-end is third round of danish championship :cool:

Kragh took the best on Jensen and Madsen on SS1 Sonderjylland Rally(DK) ;)
Traditionnal GrNs re far behind whereas two years ago they were clother(sometimes in front of S2000s)were there any changes in technical rules in danish championship :confused:
