I'm right now at Mini's test. Earlier Meeke had small moment, I heard Paul Nagle speaking with engineer, they had had rear in the ditch but it had came out.
Now the car is broken, it's some mechanical failure. Tests paused.

Ok, thanks for correct info!
Actually correction... Meeke went off, left rear hit a big stone, then spin and off to the ditch. Unclear whether the tests can continue. Damn...
was Meeke´s off on the Sirkkamäki stage or nearby?
Juha, car is being repaired and testing should start again this afternoon or in the morning so don't go too far. :)
Yeah, better luck tomorrow. Still major repairs being done after about four hours since the crash. I'm heading home, 2,5 hour drive... I saw three passes. :DQuote:

Juha_Koo, were you the guy who was interviewed by MTV3 couple of days ago at tests? If not, it's a nice coincidence... ;)
Haha, yes I am. :)Quote:

Interviewer says: "it was not allowed to media visit in forest while car was repaired by mechanicans until it was in towing condition".
I wasn´t clear enough. I meant the MTV coverage. How to be able to look at the MTV coverage abroad Finland.Quote:

Mini tested today with Sordo (and Meeke a bit). Day 2 proved successful, even though the weather was very rainy at times. Nice jumps. :)
Nonetheless, here is my short video: VIDEO
And small photo gallery: PHOTOS
I have to say, I was very very surprised by Mini... Especially the suspension, it looked absolutely fabulous! Sordo commented it being even better than C4 on landings. Really, they have progressed a lot with the suspension. Engine seems to lack some power but otherwise it is starting look like a very nice package. I fell in love with it! ;)
Good job Juha! I wish Mini could succeed in WRC, because the whole series needs it.
Also here´s some more footage of today´s Mini test and Dani´s interview:
YouTube - ‪Dani Sordo testing Mini Countryman WRC in Finland (Korpilahti July 12th 2011)‬‏
Nice photos Juha!! the rear spoiler is new?
A couple of wicked jumps there, of course the landing is always certain but once Meeke gets that thing going the landing could happen either on the road or into a lake.. A great shame that Ouninpohja isn´t still in the route because a red Mini and Ouninpohja, you know.Quote:

yes i noticed that too, much like the Audi S1. surely spectacular to look, but do they loose time or confidense when jumping like this. they may need to adjust the way the drive over the jumps to avoid something nasty to happenQuote:
