Are the people in Norway interested in jumping a car over some artificial jump just for the sake of jumping?

---

What else could be the reason?

Duval "today to be on podium very easy"?
Maybe easyier than 10 years ago but he would be happy to have same consitency and speed than Thierry. Not fair to speak like this.

Duval is just crying out for some attention and publicity to try keep his 'name' out there. It won't work ...

If you haven't got something better to do and can create some interest amongst people who usually don't watch rally cars why not :)

My video from last year, was a bit hard getting a good angel to show how far it really was. The small jump at the start ruined the speed or else it would have been at least 70m i think.

Hehe, thanks. I remember You were there last winter ;)

You know.. people do and watch ski jumping as well ;-)

Going the ski and jump direction a thing comes to mind.

What's common between Sebastien Ogier and Walter Röhrl?

Have a guess...
