Do You think it's important who YOU are searching for? ;)

Novikov crashes again :( ... looks like Mads is the only hope for this season for Ford ...

Modern Norway and Sweden proper^[b] are situated on the Scandinavian Peninsula, whereas modern Denmark is situated on the Danish islands and Jutland. The term Scandinavia is usually used as a cultural term, but in English usage, it is occasionally confused with the purely geographical term Scandinavian Peninsula, which took its name from the cultural-linguistic concept.^[1] The name Scandinavia historically referred vaguely to Scania. The terms Scandinavia and Scandinavian entered usage in the 18th century as terms for the three Scandinavian countries, their peoples and associated language and culture, being introduced by the early linguistic and cultural Scandinavist movement. Sometimes the term Scandinavia is also taken to include Iceland, the Faroe Islands, and Finland, on account of their historical association with the Scandinavian countries.^[2] Such usage, however, may be considered inaccurate in the area itself, where the term Nordic countries instead refers to this broader group.^[3]

Though the fact that Sweden and Finland was same country for about 600 yrs until 1809, I don´t think it´s very wrong to talk about Scandinavia and also have Finland in your mind. Finland and Sweden has so much in common, just like Sweden and Norway has as well. (Swe and Nor was in a union until 1905.... which is a pity it was split up, because of all oil there is in Norway...)

Massive respect for Rally Sweden organizers, this is how every loop of WRC should be!

Rahji is flying today!
