While searching the true Scandinavian reality, also please think:
Does rallying have a moral justification? It's bad for the nature, dangerous (people can even die), it's a waste of our natural resources and it doesn't serve the human kind in any way.
BUT then again, it gives pleasure to individuals - and who can condemn hedonism as a moral principal? It also fulfills man's desire to compete. Would man be complete with desires left unfulfilled? Plus the competition makes engineers to invent new things - which can be transferred to standard cars atleast in some level - faster (think about the Cold War and Space Race and the scientific effects of it).
;)
Unfortunately every new set of rules is more and more strict and there isn't much new to invent since almost everything is forbidden.Quote:

A person who goes to watch a hockey game most likely gets taken away and forgets all about his everyday problems and comes back a stronger person. Same goes with rallying though the ritual is different.Quote:

At its best, from fan's point of view, rallying is pure escapism, it has its life imitating characteristics, huge drama, sense of fulfillment and loss. All you can ask.
So, to return to the question what is Norwegian reality or The True Scandinavian Reality (TSR), I would say in both cases it is escape from it - reality.
And btw - Latvala will beat P.Solberg and Ketomaa will do the same to Mikkelssen. How can that even be questioned? (See - in this reality I can say so, but tonight on the grill queue after midnight, no chance.)
Is it starting 08.38 CET ?

Edit: I'm not the best with Eu timezones, but 9:38am local time is the forst car to SS2
Does anyone know much about Radnor? Is it a good stage? Was thinking of going there but don't want to be disappointed as we usually go to Crychan.
Cheers
So, good morning, first stage of the day will be live in about 15 mins?
