There are things You can't explain to the outer world...

In some previous years Ouninpohja videos saw some jump length scoring, was this year such thing, who is the winner?
This is what i like in people... the search for the good spot... taking risks by imagining the line and the speed of the drivers at that spot and when the result is like the pictures above the satisfaction is guaranteed... some times you lose of course but with experience you minimize the error.Quote:

Again great job with the pictures.
The metre marks were all set, but because of the obvious ongoing war between Vauhdin Maailma magazine and the rally organiser, they were removed. I don't know who's the winner.Quote:

This year Vauhdin Maailma’s spectator guide was crap. Description of viewing places but no closing time of the stages and no parking instructions and what services there was. Also heard in the radio that the VM spectator guide included viewing points that was not allowed.
I would add also spots in corners with water splashes. Such pictures are just incredible.Quote:

A wonderful rally as usual!
BLoody flash why everybodu uses it :dozey:
Terrible marketing from Tuulilasi. This was the first time I heard Tuulilasi had something to do with NORF. My eye did not catch any Tuulilasi guide at the stores or magazine stands, but the VM was showing everywhere.Quote:

Surely there would have been parking and other information in VM, but AKK Motorsport did not allowed them that info, because the official was Tuulilasi. What a mess. If there was money issue (what else it can be...) and Tuulilasi was willing to pay more than VM it was very stupid decision from AKK (not a big surprise nowadays) to stop the co-operation with VM. It had been the official guide since 1970´s or something...Quote:

There it is by Citroen themselves, in short Citroen engineers have developed for some time now something completely new in the suspension which they finally desided to use and homologate now as the advantage was clear!
If you don`t believe what I said than maybe at least when it comes from Citroen themselves you believe!
And for the last time if you have to homologate it`s alot more than just a setup thing!
Did the Mikko has also this new "setup"...maybe not...
Yes, both works cars did!Quote:

This is one of the most annoying thing about the "personality driven" way WRC rally is covered and looked at... show us a clear photo of whatever the big giant secret is. Wheels off in service, close up.. Details, photo of parts, not speculation about super secret something we can't say--Quote:

My video from Rally Finland. I didn't do that many stages this time and tried to enjoy my vacation more and just didn't bother with Ouninpohja because of the traffic. But i got some nice jumps and Mökkipera and Leustu, I've been to the Leustu jump twice before when it was ran in the other direction. Hope you like it :)

And where did I say anything about secrets? There is none. Close ups from service park are basically useless because cameras can't penetrate metals or act like magnifying glasses.Quote:

What a great first post! Welcome to the site :)Quote:

it is not that i dont believe you but maybe Finn media want to create a myth about the secret star treck suspension invented 3 days before the rally,because Finns lost fair and square inside their country,but the truth is not like this.Quote:

"Until then, the gas cylinder was placed at the top, now it's down, says Xavier Sunday Mestelan-Pinon, technical manager at Citroen , in L'Equipe. We did not invent anything, because our opponents are using this technology for a long time but we had never explored this avenue.
Rallye - WRC - Finlande - Loeb, trop fort pour eux
the secret citroen weapon in ds3 suspension was something fiestas and focus used for years.
The pain is too big... they are starting to run out of depression medicine and they start to invent things to cover the incompetence of the drivers for the last 10 years... the days that their managers destroyed other peoples careers (Loix, Scandola ects) to push their youngsters are over so now they try to invent start trek stuff... it is both sad and amusing in a way.
Lets just hope their panic doesn't affect the career of some finish drivers who actually prefer to drive than creating connections with teams and managers.
So did Hirvonen also.Quote:

I do not know about Scandola, but maybe Markku Alen´s effect at Fiat was so strong that it helped of course his son´s career, but it is too much to say that Scanola´s career was destroyed. If Fiat would have been entered the WRC with the World Rally Car they surely had taken italian driver if someone would have been at the same level as other drivers...
Do not worry! There is still coming fast drivers from Finland and they really prefer to drive (Lappi, Nikara, Pajunen). Maybe Hirvonen and Latvala will never achieve the WRC titles, but there has never been such a dominant driver like Loebinen...
Hahaha! :rotflmao:Quote:
