Sweden, Portugal, Acropolis, Finland and GB for Ketomaa in a Fiesta WRC!
With D-Mack backing and Marcus. Should be interesting.
Unfortunately DMACK-backing for Ketomaa also means he is going to run on DMACK-tyres...which will probably render him somewhat uncompetitive againt the top cars on Michelins... :(
Mikko Hirvonen accept the number two at Citroen - Hirvonen : «Du genre facile Ã* vivre» - Rallye-WRC - L'EQUIPE.FR
Also involved in the project is Hjallis Harkimo, well-known Finnish (sports) businessman. Should be interesting to see what they can accomplish, Tänak didn't do so bad in Wales with DMACKs...Quote:
