Fastest R5 again on SS9, despite losing time with an intercom issue! Today has gone really well so far - hope we can finish on a high with the final SS10
Fisted hand
@Tunturirally
Man Solberg again continues to amaze me.
This kid has a huge future.

So the longer ones are needed to get through the snow and down into the ice.
In that case Pirellis SM1 tyres with 8mm "stand out"...Quote:

It´s about tenths of a second, but I think he made it.
Edit: 0,9 secs in favour of Asunmaa. However a slower time showed up very shortly... something like 15:11,4 on GPS splits. However still win for Asunmaa...
I saw one photo from Solberg and the Tyre had the "WJ" mark on it, which I understand is the new model with longer studs.Quote:

still a good test, getting to know the car setup.
will be good experience to have inhouse when starting in Monte.
However Oliver took back some 38+ secs today, given he must have done some major change. Tyres I guess...
So today was showing the speed in between them if going on same tyres...
Αmazing pace from Oliver! We know that Asunmaa,Lindholm,Salo are very fast at their home rallies,and today he was clearly destroying them.
this photo?Quote:

There is clearly marking WJ1, which is the new Pirelli tyre for national use.Quote:

But main question is if Oliver changed type from Friday to Saturday.
Here is list of allowed winter tyres in Finnish Championship (Class6 WRC + Oliver did not drive with these rules)Quote:

So what did he use? I guess WJ1 on Saturday and WRC tyre on Friday...
according to Teemu Asunmaa in another forum Oliver had same new WJ all event, but mind that 2 stages after Saturdays first service were the really snowy onesQuote:

If so Oliver would´ve lost more time Saturday after 1st service, wouldn´t he? Snowy stage starting early. Same conditions as Teemu of course, but to the rest of the field of fast drivers in RC2 cars.Quote:

He is a fast learner and a smart team, so Saturday they could step up and go as fast as they could, better knowing car and set ups. And it finally showed where Olivers status is. Winning Saturday by some 35-40 secs.
Asunmaa said that he lost totally around 30s on Saturdays 2 stages because Veiby had problems...
Of course this isn´t fully true and maybe Oliver also had some "dust" problems.
Because it was Oliver´s 1st rally with Hyundai, I believe that he was not attacking 100%, especially on Friday.

What I meant is Oliver took full advantage of the 9mm studs in the snowy conditions, it looks as like the new WJ tire suits full snow alot better than clean roads as seen from the results the drivers who got the new tire suddenly were alot faster on the last 2-3 stages.Quote:

And just to be clear I am in no way saying Oliver had a bad rally, especially Saturday he showed the difference between a full time rally driver and a national rally driver..
Any result link to the Historic rally Jari Maiti Latvala and his father is driving today?

Wow! Over 150 entries in such a small country! And a proper snow rally! And a world premiere of Ford Fiesta Rally3!
It's going to be a great rally day in Finland on Saturday. It's been a while since I saw a proper snow rally for the last time!
Are there any live results going to be available?

The old GrN cars in national class SM2, what are the tech reg for them?
Are most of them upgraded to a sort of Group A tuning?
Is the start at 1000 or 1100 local today?
Who wants to follow, LIVE from stages of O.K. Ralli - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gyrWYmmmd2o
In SM2 class the cars are still basically gr.n, just some minor things allowed over gr.n rules. Upgraded ones drive in SM1 class with R5's (for example Jarkko Nikara last year with his Evo).Quote:

More things together. For example Lindholm had issues with car. But there was also heavy snowfall, so first drivers on the road were cleaning...Quote:
