It should be an easy job for Ketomaa in S2000, he has much experience from Jyväskylä, else too he has been showing ok driving in the S2000, hopefully Lindroos shows potential, and I belive he will.Quote:

First time was around 2004 when he was about 19 years old and was 4th or 5th in GrN until broken tyre did more damage to his car on Sunday.Quote:

In a way Tänak as a PSD driver is driving where Lindroos could've been, but of course Lindroos made a crucial mistake in the shootout.
Now let's just hope they won't all retire on Friday's morning loop...
Also, about WRCs, will be very interesting to see how Ogier will perform. Last year he improved his pace a lot after Saturday morning. This year it could be frighteningly flat out from the word go. If Hirvonen is not leading the rally before the 1st service, it'll be game over for him. About Latvala, he's still a caged beast (hopefully :) ), so anything above 5th will be good. But this year I have perhaps the strongest gut feeling that a Finn won't win. Oh my oh my... is there a rally in Bulgaria before this or...?
I think you are wrong Juha Salo will be fighting for the win in GrN and if someone driving GrN can beat S2000 on any stage he is #1 canditate for that.Quote:

The jump is so obvious that everyone have it in their notes. Plus the visibility wasn't exactly optimal... My first failed spectating place in a very long time.Quote:

Himos has one pretty crazy "hide jump" on the small road and I'm really considering going there this year as usually I've always tried to avoid Himos at any cost but thanks to Kolonkulma and Väärinmaja being driven in the morning and not in the afternoon as they have used to, there really isn't much choices...
