It's a great pity, RallyRUS just have prepared 5-litre bottle of Red Label to meet friends in Vyborg... :)
Today Sergey Uspensky, vice-president of Russian Automobile Federation will come to Saint-Petersburg to help organizers to solve all their problems :)
Today group of Russian journalists, who will work in rally Russia press-center, go to Vyborg to look through the roads. I hope to get some information with photos of the most interesting places tonight.
Really does not surprise at all...Quote:

The same situation with the way from start to Vyborg - I'm surprised, if the start was held, how participants will go the distance on trailors? But there is such a decision of Rally Commetee.
Rally in Russia developes very well in last few years. Of course there are some problems, but where there are no problems at all? Rally ib Vyborg is one of the most interesting, together with winter Ermak, summer Gukovo and Novorossijsk, that will be in October. By my opinion, Novorossijsk is the best rally of Russian Rally Championship (very interesting - 2600 km to go from Saint-Petersburg, mountains, warm sea - 21 degrees in the morning, and no crouds of resting people... :)
Rally in Vyborg is interesting because of its roads first of all. Many years ago there the Soviet Union Rally Championship was held, but new generation of rally drivers just started to learn the distance and no one our pilots knows this roads absolutely - everybody needs good stenogram and expierenced co-driver.
Here in Russia we hope that our drivers will show their class and... Who will win?... Maybe Novikov?... :)
Thank you Alex for keeping us informed about the organization of this rally !! :)
