For those who are behind Loeb now! The situation is not lost, only despaired. Latvala want to score some point and he give up. Ogier is flat out near the Ogier’s explosion syndrome..... ;)

By the way why Solberg P is so "slow" on this event :confused:
Don't talk about detuned DS3 please, I don't believe that :rolleyes:
with latvala so close behind ogier team orders are out of the question also....the big afternoon stage is going to decide everything i guess, after that both teams they will prder their drivers to bring the cars home if nothing spectacular happens....
he never had winning pace here....Quote:

2 seconds lost for latvala in a 4 km stage....game over ??

Mikko is driving well but then again he doesn´t have the pressure, just enjoying the fast roads.
It's too early !!! I want Citroën to win with one-two but rally is still long anything can still happen, I'll start thinking about possible victory after SS17 if Loeb and Ogier manages to increase gap again :mark:Quote:

Good time by Sordo again ;) but cannot improve his current position :mark:
Yes, Sordo has been better than expected in the first two rallies with MINI, and it looks like it will be 2-0 over Meeke after this one. I have always stated that Meeke is way overrated and I predict that Sordo will beat him on the remaining 4 MINI events aswell.Quote:

hirvonen is really fast, i think he´ll become 4th!
Now we will have to wait to see if there will be any team-orders. Also it remains to be seen if, in the case Hirvonen catch-up with Solberg, they will ask JML to let him pass to third to take maximum possible amount of points for championship.
That's a lit bit unfair for Meeke. Sordo was been doing the championship for last four years with a top car, he knows the rally's and he knows turbo cars. As much as I like Sordo I think Meeke is going to be faster next year.Quote:

If Loeb wins this Rally, he will be the first non-Nordic driver to win Finland twice. And perhaps also the first non-Nordic double in the honours list of this Rally. But the way is still long.....Quesnel must be at the edge of depression, we are going to see if he is a real Team Manager or an managed Manager??? Cry baby cry !!!! :) :) :)
Ogier said before the service that there won´t be any team-orders, we´ll see. Latvala conforming that the Ford is tail-happy everywhere and he has tried to fix it, without any luck.
Is the rally finishing on Saturday?!
Anything on Novikov? We're driving from Isojärvi stage and he was on the roadside bonnet up. Didn't get a better look though.
NOVIKOV E. / GIRAUDET D. "We have problem with the car again. Oil pressure or turbo, don't know."
He retired with oil pressure problemsQuote:

Two latest stages Hanninen is faster then Meeke. Let me guess, is the Fabia S2000 faster then WRC Mini or ...?Quote:

Thanks Miika, you're great.
Sorry I see Hanninen was fastest in the last 5KM stage but in the previous one Meeke was faster so try again.Quote:

Still this brings up a questions:Quote:

:)
Or maybe Meeke and Sordo are driving for a finish to gain valuable data for next season? Don't forget this is Hanninen's home event also.
Can anyone tell me if there is a link to a website etc that will be streaming the power stage from rally finland??
Agree, but that was expected, all Brittish drivers has been, if you look closer at they real achievments, 2 x 1 time champions.Quote:

Leustu stage is live for second pass, let's see what will happen and if we will see some major changes.
Ogier slowly making time up, this is gonna be close.
