Yeah, I'm sure there are some Jari fans, he still is a pretty handy peddler. Not quite in the same league as his son though. However, as Ari Vatanen once said, if you really want to know what is happening with Jari-Matti you need to talk to his Mum, not his Dad. :pQuote:

:) Kiitos (For all the links)
Still no feedback for us? ;)
Jari-Matti will hear it in the next 24 hours and I promise his thoughts.... :D
only if you promise that he will create an account at motorsportforums. :hot:Quote:

Because someone has to give some feedback... :)
In general a nice clean site, everything is easy to be found.
I just don't really like to wikipedia in "brief biography" in such a frame, it looks a bit messy. Also remember that everyone can make changes to wikipedia, so if someone makes a bad joke, it's on the website too. A palmares with every event he did and how he did would be a nice addition. ;)
Just a detail, the background picture isn't covering my complete screen (1920x1080px), for most screens it's ok, but with computer screens growing from time to time it's maybe something to keep in mind.
For sure. But keep´im posted. And welcome to the forum. And good luck for next year.Quote:

Agreed on the Wiki stuff, it's a short term (and inexpensive) solution for providing some content in other languages. There is a risk of course, but we hope we'll get a warning if someone does something naughty. The Thiery Henry Wikipedia vandalism is a classic example.
Could you explain the "palmares after every event" comment please - apologies but I don't understand the term palmares I guess :confused:
Screen wise, again, agreed, we've optimised at a lower res than yours as we're not seeing that much traffic with big flashy screens like you rich people in Belgium can afford :o :D What has surprised me somewhat has been the high proportion of mobile (low res) traffic, even after the event ended.
However, I don't want to distract from the forum too much with any more technobabble so.....

...eli varmaan jonkinlaista miten missäkin on mennyt -listaa kaivattaisiin. It sure would be interesting list if it goes back all the way, even prior to WRC days. Only like where, when, how, why - I think there has been something similar in past JML websites...?
EDIT: And what I'd like to see more are mama Latvala's scrapbooks, recent years too. Okey, they're good only for Finnish fans, but still, nice addition. I know the archive is big.
given that '1' was used in 06 for both Mcrae and Pons standing in for Loeb I'd imagine the same will happen next year and Loebs deputy will get to run as No1.Quote:

Jari-Matti Latvala admits squandering WRC title hopes with Ford - WRC news - AUTOSPORT.com
Don't know that was this already here but I've heard a rumor that VW is behind of Ola Floene's "retirement". Ola was said that he is going to retire after two year's anyway so VW kick him of. VW think that they're schooling Andreas next year's and then he suppose to be ready for full WRC program. And that's why they said that co-driver changes now, not two year's from now... Everything must be ready when they starts full season. It means that VW need's Andreas and Markkula, don't need Ola and Juho... Andreas And Mikko will compete seven rounds next year...
But like I said... Just an rumor...
Its true that Markkula is new Co Driver of Mikkelsen. Its not true that VW kick Ola off. VW was surprised that Management of AM put Ola out of Team. If you saw the final of Cataluna, VW Team Boss congrats to Ola, but nothing to Mikkelsen. VW is behind of Ola, there were made many many mistakes in AM Management and we dont know how that ends. Probably with an off to AM from VW, nobody knows. Also AM Monte and Sweden starts with Fabia are now in a complete another light, because VW stopps some supports to him ... difficult story.Quote:

Is that what you meant with your earlier post? And what do you mean with "Probably with an off to AM from VW?"Quote:

Yes, I remember my post as problems for AM ... yes, that means that VW dont understand that decision Ola out of Team. Jost Capito is one of many persons who support Ola after that stupid change. Monte and Sweden was planed for AM with Skoda Ogier but NOT under VW Motorsport. There are 2 or 3 Teams possible which should support AM on that two races (one from Austria!), but VW decide that all costs from that races must pay by AM himself. Before Co driver discuss VW agreed to pay ...Quote:

AM should be careful for future in his decisions, because if he dont go the speed of Ogier, there are some other fast drivers which could replace him very soon (2014). And with a new co driver, a new car ...? All who know Ola Floene, knows what I mean. Ola is in my opinion one of the best co driver! AM never drove with another Co, and with Mikko he has also change the language to english. All that things could slow down.
Thank you for sharing this info. An insight into the team which we don't usually get to see!Quote:

OK, nobody can do that job until end of their life, for sure he have to think about ending his career, but not now, not when when the step is into WRC! 3-4 years, maybe yes, also when AM is 100% with VW. And in my opinion AM needs exact for this time, new car, new team, new challenge, a man beside him who exactly knows him!Quote:

Rumours said that Benito Guerra, PWRC Champion is on his way to Motorsport Itália car. The team principal visited the sponsors in México to get the deal..!
You mean Mini WRC. There is also an option for ERC.Quote:

Reading between the lines so we avoid the positive self-talk that Mikko's sports psychologist has drummed into him we can learn the following:Quote:

With Dani Sordo appointed as team mate there is suddenly someone returning home who the team all liked immensely. Sordo is consistent on gravel (so Mikko can't play a waiting game in the hopes of gaining good points as he'll be competing with DS!).
"I feel really, really good," he said. "On gravel I am sure I'm ready for the fight.
"Provided that Jari Matti, Sebastian, Mads, Evgeny, Jarko, and Ott all get problems on the first day"
"It's going to be quite a different season, with Jari-Matti [Latvala] and Sebastien Ogier in a new team with Volkswagen - it's going to be exciting to see the pace of the new car.
" I hope to god it's a turkey for the first 6 rallies"
"I'm really happy to be part of such a strong team. I'm going to be ready and I'm really looking forward to it."
"But damn it I wish I had Neuville as no 2!"
The Finn's co-driver Jarmo Lehtinen said they had used the 2012 season as good preparation for next year's step up in status.
"The preparation has been mostly done for next year," said Lehtinen.
"We know the team and the car and we set ourselves targets. The first target was to know the car, the second was to deliver the manufacturers' title and the third was to put [team boss] Mr [Yves] Matton in a position where he had to give us team orders to slow down and we did this on a few rallies.
"Fortunately this was no problem as Mikko couldn't have gone any faster than Seb anyway ;) "
Dani Sordo with Citroen again! Dani Sordo rejoint Citroën Racing - Citroën WRC
If the news about Kuldar is true then we have a number of musical chairs on the CD seat to contemplate.
Novikov - Giraudet or Minor or Prevot
Ostberg - Minor? (M-Sport or Prodrive?)
Mikkelsen - Markulla
Atko - Prevot?
Tanak - Martin? (But he'll be needed for the 3rd M-Sport when Nasser isn't using it! ;) or will he now be permanent for Nasser too?)
Meeke or Breen for Nagle?
Permanent CD for Jarko if he gets a full Prodrive season
Would Jonas or Ola want another season with anyone.
I can't remember a time when there was so much upheaval among the note callers
