Compaired to what other countries? It seems that you dont understand the idea with manager, the manager makes it possible for young drivers to drive its not about beliving in manager or not.Quote:

I believe yes. He seems to be very mature driver and has a Loeb-style speed reserve always. He also has an incredible tarmac speed.Quote:

We had a small incident on Thursday evening after arriving to Hyväneula at spectator area I if I recall it correctly (forgot my spectator guide in the camper van). There was parking beside the road but we found a nice parking lot near the stage.
When we had been there for few hours there came four marshals and said that we have to move the car because it was after the ticket selling point. By that time also our driver had had few bears and was not sure if he would dare to drive immediately but a friendly marshal offered to move our car.
After that they moved the ticket selling point again and then we were again after the ticket selling point but now we didn’t have to move the car anymore.
On our way home one guy noticed that he had been using a last year rally pass. This years pass was still in it’s original package. :D
I guessed that... How about then other countries? I am not worried at all about the future.Quote:

AKK Motorsport´s current rally coaching members (by the way earlier three drivers were Hänninen, Nikara and Rantanen) Esapekka Lappi, Jukka Korhonen and Mikko Pajunen showed great speed and they all completed the rally route. Pajunen won the spirit of the rally award and Lappi and Korhonen took two first places in their class.
Also Ketomaa, Lindroos and Rantanen have not said yet their last words. The truth is that it is possible to improve the reliability of the driver, but if you are not fast enough your speed will never rise to the top level...
That was good :-) Kannattaa pitää aikaisempien vuosien rallipassit tallessa...Quote:

Given the quality of competition in the WRC versus the IRC, the number of events that switched to allow longer events including night runs and let's not forget live TV coverage I wouldn't be so quick to call it an inferior championship. I'd be more for seeing a series using the R-types over S2000 and WRC so there's no real advantage for either series.Quote:

I agree with you. It was more like a local rally and not a WRC event. But I don't like crowded places so why complain... :D
