Last year Rene Kuipers had a small moment in SS Hassi recce in Finland. Tells something about the corner that Finnish professional spectators were there ready to help already at the recce...

I don't know if it was mentioned here, but Consani will drive a Citroen DS3 R3T instead of the Mini WRC.

Bryan Bouffier will do the gravel crew for Nasser Al-Attiyah
I think he can do good in a Rally, he has competing with Porshe before, I'm not sure for the Mini though :)Quote:

He is very fast in his Porsche but it will be his first time in a WRC so it will take some time before he sets good times. He said that his goal for this rally was to bring the car back and consistently improve his time throughout the weekend. If there is some incidents with the "usual" WRC competitors, he can easily get in the point scoring positions i believeQuote:

well, maybe. If not for the pacenotes....

Dumas has been doing rallies i France for reasonable time. He must be used to make and listen pacenotes. He just usually drives completely different car.Quote:

I think vkangas means N.O.T
We write positive things when they decide to go rallying instead ;-)Quote:

EDIT: But I personally watch with interest only Le Mans as circuit racing. The drivers and machines there deserve real respect and "24 Heures du Mans" is truly the "Greatest race in the World".
what happened to N.O.T???
Nooo.. He is the gravel crew man for P. Nobre ;)Quote:
