Mikko Hirvonen with his BDA in Mikkeli's entrylist...
where can I find Finnish rally champs regulations in English?
From the rallism.fi website but only the 2014 edition available. Basicly it´s the same this year.Quote:

I don't understand the starting order :confused: I hate when "small" cars start ahead of "big" cars...it can sometimes lead to problem when the second ones catch the first ones in stage :mark:
You can be very angry than for all rallies in the Belgian Rally Championship this year. The 5 best Junior drivers with R2 cars will be starting ahead of all WRC cars in all rallies for the BRC... which is of course very stupid. :(
I am looking forward what Teemu Suminen and Juha Salo can do with their new cars.

Did last stage was cancelled like the first one?
Yes. Too bad conditions due to mild temperatures.Quote:

Jari Huttunen impressed me!
Check out my video from Vaakuna Rally! --> www.facebook.com/video.php?v=790830677633247
Indeed, he was really fast! Lets see what he can do in the future.Quote:

I need help for Vaakuna Ralli. Did these crews start the rally or not?
No: 37, 55, 58, 67, 91, 98, 129, 145, 146 and if yes, what's the retirement reason? Kiitos! :)

These crews did not start the event: 55 (no reason), 58 (missed civil scrutineering), 67 (broken gearbox), 129 (work issue). PER = cancelled entry.Quote:

Thank you! And what does TAUKO menas?
Tauko means a break, in this context I'd say it means the overnight break.Quote:

Salo was beaten man to man - no problems this time. Maybe a bit of over trying from Juha...
Teemu Suninen, definitely young gun to watch. Only 2nd 4WD rally for him and already a class victory in front of many experienced drivers. Congrats to Teemu and Mikko!
On previous round, on the onboard camera of Salo I had the impression that he wasn't 100% confortable on the Peugeot. He wasn't as smooth as he looked to be with the Evo.
At least that's what I thought...
Must be some learning time for him of course. Heard something about lower gears as well...
I think it was just the case of Salo not being as fast as the other guys. He hasn't really shone in Pohjanmaa-ralli (or whatever has the name of the event been in the area) in the past either. 2011 he had major unluck as his car burnt completely. 2012 he couldn't match the speed set by Lappi and Nikara, 2013 he couldn't match the speed set by Nikko and Nikara. Last summer, 2014, he was saving his EvoX which he had sold just before the event and he was way off pace. Between 2011-2015 Juha Salo has not won a single stage in this event. Also, regarding Pohjanmaa-ralli, back in 2013 it was held in Laihia, a local guy Nikko won, 2014 it was held in Lapua and Ylistaro region, a local guy Ketomäki was the fastest and this weekend it was mostly driven in Alavus-Töysä and again, a local guy Asunmaa won it.
What I'm really happy about is that Salo has brought a modern car to this series. It brings attention. I'm equally happy that Teemu Asunmaa has found significantly more speed compared to last year which is very good. Kristian Kiviniemi is also improving, perhaps a season or two behind Asunmaa now. Teemu Suninen is a different deal, but for his experience, he's doing well.
Next FRC event will be in the Eastern Finland, in Joensuu, mid-June. I will be visiting the event for the first time, so all tips are welcomed. Making the journey via Tampere it'll be around 600 kms one way, almost like going abroad for an event :-)
Also surprised by the result of Taisko Lario in R2: 2nd of class in Pohjanmaa whereas he didn't really shine on previous events(or even when he ran the Peugeot cup in France last year) :confused:
Here is incar footage from Jaro Kinnunen on SS1 at Pohjanmaa

Congrats to both of You for 1st OA victory in the Finnish Rally Championship series!!
ps. I believe Teemu might have same advantage since he lives in the area, but everybody need to live somewhere... ;) ;)
Take a look at this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9AjrnoskKg&app=desktop
It's an onboard video from last Saturday, driver Jari Huttunen. He is very promising young gun driving a C2 R2 at the moment in Finnish championship. For this end-of-the-winter-season he entered with older Opel. See what happens at around 2'50" - a perfect execution of a nonstop crash, roll and continue. No biggie....!
