splits didn t show that diferences from start.Even splits at about less than a minute(about 1,5-1,8 km distance.

This also raises some memories from the previous years.

I was watching at about 00:15 were it 2008 or 2009. Mikko did the most spectacular run throwing the car sideways before the turn. My first thought was that now he will crash. All the other ones drove with a straight line true the turn.

The place that begins at 1:25 I said to my friends that is the place I would like go and watch by what I found out when doing the “recce” with rally-maps.

At 5:18 the old Ouninpohja starts but now in opposite direction. Ouninpohja continued in the junction to the right.

When Ouninpohja was driven in the opposite direction there was an interesting jump at 5:48 followed by a right turn at 5:45. When Kankkunen was driving the Hyundai, he turned the front wheels to the right direction when he still was in the air.

At 6:00 the old Ouninpohja ends. The small / narrow road was interesting the watch. Not many straights.

Here's my video from Finland!

Looking back at it now maybe i didn't have such a bad rally after all even though i screwed up two stages.
I got jumps and a fast combination in shakedown and Lindroos hitting a big rock, mailbox thrashing in Evo and jumps in Leustu 1, enjoy :)

very nice video...the best action i have seen from finland so far.....the fact that the spectators or the marshals didn't move that rock that Lindroos hit show that they are plain stupid.

Indeed a very nice video! Some good spots. Flying Finish part is fast! :)
You made a few good changes of position to stand during the stages to make it much more spectacular, especially SS5 after the first few cars I almost clicked through to next stage :) Same with SS11. Good shots after the beginning ;)

Sordo was very fast on short stages. Maybe more confidence and concentration needed for longer stages.

Thankyou SubaruNorway, nice video. Nice to see Paddon at the end. Agree about the rock NOT.

Plenty of us Brits call Mikko "Hirvo" too

Daniel does say "Jean-Marie" as the male pronounciation!

Thank you everyone, it was harrrrrd work!

Marshals drove me crazy, that's why i was able to change location in those places sneaking past them. Like the inside on SS11 and SS5 was not allowed for some reason... And Ruuhimäki jump was hard to get too, so not many cars there. Had to hide in bushes to get the Leustu jump from the best angel :P

And yeah some photographer walked past the rock and tried to get a marshall to move it but no, and then there just wasn't time for me to get it before Lindroos came. Suspension seemed ok, just bent it so that the driveshaft popped out.

Youtube link if someone wants that. Watch in 720p.

Yeah seems unfair to leave a massive rock/house right on the line.

Great photos and top video Subaru Norway. By Aussie standards the marshals are awesome in Finland. Australia sucks!!

Yeah last year was good so shame we didn't stumble across each other this year too hehe.

Not sure if I'm doing Finland next year, depends on what format they run.
I like Wales this year with Shakedown on wednesday, 3 stages on thursday and then 3 normal days where you can just take your time and enjoy and still se many stages. (Maybe I'm getting old)

Something like Norway/Sweden, Greece, GB and Italy next year maybe :)

AUTOSPORT PLUS - How Loeb has won over the Finnish WRC fans

does anyone have access to the above to give us a brief review of the article? thx
8th August 2011, 09:43
hsmed

Actually there is not much in the article about how Loeb has won the hearts of the Finnish fans. It is 'explained' in the text below, which is cut out from the article:

....it's worth explaining how he won over the hearts of the thousands of Finnish hardcore at the podium celebrations. From the noise, you'd have sworn a local was standing on the top step.

"I told the crowd that this year, maybe because of the performance, that I felt I had a lot of supporters," he says. "It felt different from 2008, when I beat Mikko [Hirvonen]. Then I felt some people were a bit angry against me, but this year I didn't feel anything like that. This year I had good support from the public. Everybody was waving and saying things were good. It felt nice on the podium. It was good sport."

Finally, the Frenchman appears to have won over the Finns – and they're about the hardest audience for him to play in front of. Finland is a proud nation with an exceptional history in the sport; the Flying Finns are rallying's All Blacks – they don't take defeat well, especially not at home, and their supporters are the most partisan of them all.

But, last weekend, they finally got Loeb. Yes, he spoiled their party, but it was like they appreciated, acknowledged and accepted that Loeb really is the king of their sport.

...and that's it. The rest of the article basically deals with who can stop Loeb from winning. And the answer is (based upon the result in Finland): Nobody, really - for the moment.

Can't say that thought didn't cross my mind too.

On those Andrey's photos, I'd like to how that historic Escort (pic. 24) landed on that Jokimaa jump. Looks lot of air to me for 40 years old car...
