In my opinion it has nothing to do with reality and R5.

I might be wrong but I think a full Group 4 Ford Escort RS cost about £30k in 1975 (so £120k in 2012?), plus you could get a lot of the work done by a range of preparation companies to get this cheaper.....Quote:

Everything is better than todays, atleast last years, situation. Its a joke to call it anything with world. Much better with "amateurs" with real chances to win in a real and open championchip!Quote:

Bugger i have to go straighten a 50mm Bilstein insert for a friend in New England, cause we can't merely buy new.

Räikkönen want to drive in Finland
I also want to drive there
Jari Ketomaa will not compete in Greece (he is not on the entry list either just like we noticed), but he decided to skip the event and compete New Zealand instead. Despite the fact he was testing in Greece (probably the same Autotek´s Fiesta which one Spyros Pavlides is driving in Greece).
Very good decision, beacause now he must be ready for Finland to make the big attack. The roads in New Zealand are very similar to Finland without the big jumps, but the speed is high...
Just a small correction(not that it matters), Jari tests on monday after rally greece (if the car is in shape as it will be ran in Rally Greece)..Quote:

I think we won't see any difference in Matthew's performance, was it for half a season break or not. Err.... so don't worry.

Since the "babycars" or the "go-to-shopping" cars started to be the base to World Rally Cars, things never be so good as before.
The low class cars are being the base to all the WR Cars.
