Yes, that is why I put the big grin behind the Ford tactics post, but I don’t think Mikko will feel bad being 10s behind Loeb after today’s stages.

It is normal, because there is not a very talented Finnish driver in S1600 (Kalle Pinomäki is no top driver) as they are in Group N cars. Even in the past years, Group N cars were faster than S1600's. ;)

Uh? It's rare that I hear his interviews in english so either he gives different views in english or he is misunderstood. But like Mauri A noted, in finnish language interview he's not boasting how great he is.

@Prorally
i know mate, just results didn t show him in previous stage. :D

Agreed, I´d like to see the sources where he has said those kind of things. Should be hard, cause there is none, not in Finnish at least.

Why don't people call it a Mitsubishi Lancer anymore or have Mitsubishi dropped the Lancer name?

Then we should call it Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution as they never put which version it was and with now so many version makes it easier to say Evo IX or next one Evo X
