Most propably you can't get this good view on safety standards of WRC event + it'll be hugely crowded. But they'll fly. They'll fly before that jump many times, but this... different. Maybe worth for waking up at 3AM...
Anyone doing some recce on new stages this weekend?
Rally Guide 1 is now available on the web site as well ;

In my opinion, this is not the best round to entry, with no rythm with WRC cars (he is running a MaxiRallly, not even R5 speed), and with years since not doign it (10 years at least).
But on the other hand, surely he found the way ($$$) and giving he is more close to the end of his carreer than any other thing, he must be doing for the fun of it.
He will try to go fast, but for sure he will have fun.
Good for Ligato!!!
Good news for Ligato. I'd assume (more like hope) that indicates that Citroen will be there in that semi-works capacity - and it's not just rent-a-ride like Argentina. I think we all really want to see Meeke do Finland. Let's see what the entry is like. Hopefully Ligato takes the car destined for Al Qassimi and not Meeke/Lefebvre/Breen.
Meeke MUST be in Finland, there cant be any other option.
I hope he's there for I will beQuote:

You can buy rally passes at any Neste gas station on your way to Jyväskylä. It's a pass, to hang around your neck, difficult to email. I think you can't buy them at your hotel, but any Neste station and service park should do ok.Quote:

It's been written Meeke will do Finland, but how realible was the source, it's unknown. But I'm really confident Citroen will be in Finland with Meeke.Quote:

Meeke doing just now tests in Finland.
Thanks for the info - Just to clarify I"m not staying at that hotel - just that it is mentioned on the NORF website. I'm actually staying in a cabin at Kangasniemi - Can't wait!!Quote:

19 year old Juuso Nordgren won AKK's Star of the Future prize drive for Rally Finland. He will be entered for the event in WRC3 DS3 R3T.
This prize was awarded to under 25 year old drivers doing best in Finnish Championship in R2 cars after 4/6 events. Best three were chosen to selection after Saturday's event. Nordgren, as last season's junior champion and known fast driver, were the fan favourite and obvious choice anyway. He will now step into the path of Teemu Suninen ja Jari Huttunen, the previous two Stars of the Future. Hopefully Juuso will grab this enourmous chance!
Finnish TV station YLE drives through NRF 2016 SS7 Äänekoski-Valtra stage with Riku Tahko. (Can be seen in Sweden at least)
Such a demanding stage. Looks very fast and tricky!

Oi oi oi that will be a FAST stage that's for sure..Quote:

Erja has discovered that Pekka forgot coffee "Oi va dum! I'm sooooo forgetful...Don't worry I'll be right back!"
And out he goes, another 40km---full gas...sideways!
This could go on for days..:crazy:
How do ordinary humans resist the urge?
So you could watch the recce over there? Great!Quote:

Entries for vetomies closes monday 28.6 21.00pm but list maybe updated after that...
It gives me great warmth to think about the reactions of Rally Finland visitors seeing Vetomies (loosely translates into bad ass, fast, braveheart, no fear rally driver) crews such as Hirvonen, Hiipakka and Lario in their powerful BMWs pass by in our gravel rollercoasters. Lario is always spectacular and his 400+hp BMW sounds simply... No words. Well, let me phrase it like this: If you don't get excited from that sound, you are not alive.

Two Argentinean DS3 entries in now for Finland. I'm scared this is all we'll get from PH Sport :(
