Well, Garde just finished third in Mad Crock Rally Estonia today. You can see full results here: http://www.autosport.ee/rallyreg/?page=32&race_id=80&
Märtin (Focus WRC03) won that rally, nearly 3 minutes in front of Tänak (Subaru Impreza). Garde was 1.5 minutes behind Tänak and second in GrN. Prokop was little bit further behind. So, from these results you can get first comparisons:-)

Prokop had his fare share of moments for sure: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAmoyi1ueZs Prokop starting from 35 sec. It does not look so bad but if you look further in this video you can see how close call it was.

And this jump: http://www.postimees.ee/?g=1789&art=288886#63934 This is very, very, very big jump on nearly full speed and quite many cars that have landed like this have rolled afterwards.

Why would a Swede be thinking of grilling strong beer?
It sounds dangerous, won't the cans go KA-BOOOOM?

Maybe best they stick to lätt-öl....

Would have loved it, but we doesnt arrive until thursday evning and then go straight out into the bushes for some serious camping :D

By the way, is there any place we can download POI`s for SS starts and Finishes for our GPS`?

Is it possible to download detailed maps of each SS?

^^ At least I haven't seen any such service provided by the organizers this year. Start and end points are at the spectators guide, but I don't know are they downloadable anywhere. There are no GPS marks for spectator points or parking areas, so you have to go old school for them.

Oldschool navigating is actually more precise and more fun. We got totally lost twice during Swedish Rally, using GPS POI's provided by the official rally magazine. Problably our GPS device was not good enough, but we have never been lost when navigating oldschool way.

On this site you can have the POI if you first locate the places yourself:

A bit over a week to Rally Finland...! :bounce: First team equipment rumoured to have arrived to Finland today. Not a long till testing begins.

this rally is going to be vital...Citroen has the chance to put the last nail on the ford coffin by winning in their all french team the all finnish at ford...

ford on the other hand want to prove that they have some life left in them heading to the final chapters of the citroen dominated season. Winning here of course will not have any effect on both championships but for sure they can brag they came victorious on the best and most demanding rally on the season.
