Ok so Hyundai, M-Sport and Movisport will score team points and drivers points on this event.Quote:

Some elements strange for me as M-Sport and individually Gryazin (including Greece) seems to have already use their 6 European rallies before Finland.
But not that much important as M-Sport is not really anymore in the game for the manufacturer championship and the same for Gryazin for the driver championship
SS6 Oittila has a new small road loop replacing the fastest bit of the stage. Will be tricky in the dark…
So you are not familiar of next years (2022) rulesQuote:

Thank you for the explanation, I did not know about the new rules. I read also a little bit about it (especially how the young drivers championship works), quite an interesting move by the FIA this time.Quote:

But I think Rally3 will disappear quite early because young drivers already made the move R2 to R5 directly. It creates some sort of hierarchy in the young drivers championships
Any information about rally passes?
Few weeks to go, but there are still only the "collectors edition" ones available.
Or could it be that these will remain the only ones?
And who is going to sell the passes besides the official online shop?
They are saying that there will be special APP for tickets, price of "normal" pass unknownQuote:

Regarding Pickems Rally Greece, (closing at 1700 CEST today) note that Katsuta (edited) and Suninen withdraw from entrylist. Change in your current quote.
The price is irrelevant at the moment, main problem is if we have to buy them online or do some petrol stations like Neste in the past will sell as well.Quote:

Route preview, you're welcome. Only a fourth of the route is familiar from 2019, while a third is completely new or used only before the era of current drivers.

A promotional short film. Like Tommi mäkinen would say, absolutely incredible!
Great video, it doesn't get any better than this;)Quote:

On Friday, I’m not sure it is clever to try to go from Ässämäki 2 after the WRC cars to catch the finish of Oittila?
Saturday, 4 stages should be ok and Sunday the classic Ruuhimäki rollercoaster.
What are your plans for the weekend…
great video,all these guys together...................
Hi everyone!
I'm an exchange student and I'm currently in Turku, I was wondering if someone from this city is going to Jyväskylä the weekend of the rally. I was searching bus/train connections but I don't think the schedules will match as good as I want. So please if you know someone who's going from Turku let me know, I will obviously pay my % of petrol so it gets cheaper for both.
Great promotion for Rally Finland.Quote:

I thought it will be Ott instead of Kalle in the end :laugh:
Lampinen meant he won the whole rally. Subtitles were incorrect.Quote:

I think it will not be possible for the win with so much time out of a RC1 car (+ he will not have his last year’s car) all the more with Rovanpera and Tanak being 4th and 5th on the road.
+ a very far road position may not be a huge advantage this year with the rally later in the season (darkness, weather).
A podium position might be reachable if he adapts quickly and would probably secure him a seat for next year (whatever is the team).
A comparison with Katsuta would have been interesting but as the Japanese has been unlucky recently, I think he will be quite conservative to finish this time even if it is his last opportunity to achieve a good result this season (he seems too far in asphalt rallies).
I don't think no one can keep pace with Rovanperä this year. Maybe Tänak, but IF and only IF he can find some sweetspot with settings - he is fast for sure, but his confidence is nowhere near Toyota days.
If Lappi can beat Ogier and Evans, it's more than "good job" already. And it also may give 2nd place.
If conditions are equal i suppose a lot of drivers can keep pace with rovanpera.
Ogier, evans, neuville and tanak should be at least equally fast when they need to.
The thing which separates the champions from the would be's is knowing when not to push. And then ogier is still king.
Finland is a fast rally. Will make difference. Rovanperä will be up there among 3-4 other guys.
In the past Hyundai has not worked will in Finland, but maybe they've gotten closer with good pace in Estonia both years (and maybe promises of pace in Finland 2019). In that sense, I would say Tänak will be the fastest one, with Kalle the next one. Then behind them Breen and Lappi, with Evans, Ogier and Neuville a bit behind them. The only question is if Tänak will get to the finish without problems.
0 podiums in 6 starts is indeed telling.
However in 2017 Paddon certainly had podium speed and they have 2x 4th with Paddon in 2018 and Mikkelsen in 2019, both times they would have podium if Citroen wasn't there.
So purely based on Citroen not being present they should get podium this year.
There was some talk about the car not being suited for negative camber of Finnish roads. But the narrower roads used last years maybe doesn't have so negative effect.
Anyway the big question is the weather. if it rains properly anything can happen.
And M-Sport very likely not being on the podium either. Yes, I'm quite sure either Tänak or Breen will be on the podium.Quote:

Hi guys. Anybody knows if the spectator guide on-line is available and how to get it? (in the official site link to ksml for guide but i can't find anything about it)
Thanks
Spectators guide is not released/ready yet. One reason is that entry for support event "Vetomies" closes midnight (4h from now), so they probably want that entrylist included.Quote:
