There will be more stages on Thursday so the format is actually 2,5 days next year.

Thanks for pointing that out.

So roughly in English:

- There will be more stages on Thursday evening near Jyväskylä
- On Friday there will be stages on both sides of Lake Päijänne with night stage(s) and eventually the Lahti SSS, I guess. Stages that haven't been run since 1990s.
- There will be more stages south of Jyväskylä, even south of Lahti
- There will be more stages run only once
- Saturday will be on tradional stages in Central Finland
- Rally ends on Saturday.
- Rally Guide 1 on February 25th 2011.

This sounds more logical than just SSS Lahti that was mentioned on the other news source.

I know it's still very early but is there already some news concurning the WRC Greece and Sardegna 2011?

In Argentina there are many good young drivers, why don't give them the opportunity for a world-class exposure?

Miguel Baldoni looked a fast guy... why dont invest in him? :confused: :confused:

Many discussions about Munchis I missed.

First Munchis, as said is Perez Companc hobby. Their are strong bussinessmen with lots of interest. Why Munchi´s? It is not a well known brand, never undertood why don´t they use their food products brands (they own also a Pasta brand in Italy).

regarding Villagra I jsut do nto understand his speed in WRC. In a group N he isfor sure a fast guy, but never demostrated in WRC outside Argentina (even when he did the PWRC he was very slow).

On the contrary Pozzo, who has shown his speed in 2001 and even afterwards in 205 and 2006, had always god speed on WRC events, but in local championship is only even with Villagra.

Munchis is to do it for fun, and it is known that Villagra was chosen for being an excellent driver, but moreover for being a safe one. It is very difficult that he has an off, and in WRC he is requested to leave a safety margin.

After some of the usual offs of Luis Perez Companc, while bein co driven by hisbrother Jorge, and his younger brother Pablo almost loosing his life in a Indy lights crash in USA, his family requested them to split.
At that time it started Vilagra in Munchs, with Luis in a separate car.

Yes there are young Argentineans with speed to develop, Baldoni could be one of them, Marchetto also.

well its really isnt that dark at the end of July in Scandinavia to be able to run proper night stages at a reasonable time.
