Only FRC for him this year? I think that he wanted to do some ERC rallies.

---

He wanted, but not enough money...

125 entries

Interesting to see the battle between Kruuda and Nikara. Atleast that's my guess on who are going to fight for the victory. Anyhow a great entry list for the Arctic! Lots of nice cars and good drivers in different classes.

class1 Tuohino with R5, how far behind Kruuda (or Nikara) he is? Vihavainen with Mitsu WRC, Top5 material.
class2 it´s probably Salo and then Nikko and rest.
class3: Lindroos has always been very good in Arctic but how fast are youngsters?
class4: Hautamäki is speedwise man to beat.
My 5 cents!

Haven´t followed SM so close, but how is speed for Max Vatanen?

Seems to work very good ! =)

Salo in his own league, even with R4. Tuohino and Nikara fighting for 2nd (after SS3).
The speed of Tahko very disapointing, Kruuda in trouble, lost a lot of time

Not knowing for sure, but Tahko hasn´t had many rallies recently? Of course salo is the one we also would see in ERC or even better: WRC!!

broken rear diff for Kruuda, end of the rally for today....

For sure. Touhino always fast. But I thought he´d be even faster...? Let´s wait and see after a couple of more stages. :)

Well, he is getting old now and like I said has not donw rallies in years. So he is doing better than I expected

Information about Koskelo's Fabia S2000??chassis,registration plate,old owner??thank'you very much.

Salo completely in his own league today. His Mitsu is now back in international R4-spec (last year it was national R4, with bigger restrictor, etc), but due the new rules which allow the use of racing fuel he's having a really good feeling with the engine.

Positive surprise in the SM3 class (=R2), newcomer Joonas Tokee showed some good speed with P208 R2 before problems on SS3. After day one Vuorisalo (last year's R2 silver medalist) is leading the SM3 class and Henri Haapamäki showing good speed, being second with C2 R2 and very experienced (Arctic) codriver Lasse Hirvijärvi.

Rally over for Salo, retired due to overheating issues...

First win in Finland for R5, Janne & Markku Tuohino win Arctic Lapland Rally 2014!

Final stage finish:

What's the difference between SM1 and SM2 Lancers ?

SM1 is called "Super4" and it includes: FIA R5, Super 2000 (2.0 and 1.6T), FIN R 4WD (including WRC cars that have been homologated 31.12.2002 or earlier).

SM2 on the other hand is called "Production4" and it includes FIA N, FIA R4 and FIN N 4WD cars.

Therefore SM2 Lancers are "regular" Gr. N cars and in SM1 Lancer's are FIN R type (more freedom in the rules) cars (bigger restrictor, etc.).

thank you !

MM = maailman mestaruus = world championship

MM-ralli = WRC-rally = NORF, so thats not what you are looking!

Some other little event held on August.

Maybe you mean Mänttä 200 rally? On those days it was usually held few weeks before NORF and a lot of factory drivers used it as an test rally for NORF...

Maybe
