Tuohinos WRC train left a few years ago allready, the Finnish championship thing i understand but its difficult to understand why he want to drive in the WRC, because there is nothing he can achieve from there.

I remember watching events that it seemed like at almost at every rally someone had a moment, either ripped a corner off the car, did a soft roll, had the hood come up at high speed, or someone had a crash. The trick was it was rarely the same person from event to event.
Duval and Atkinson were good for a crash out 1 out of every 3 events it seemed.
Too slow, always has been. He looked liked Finland's answer to Matthew Wilson in sWRC this year. It's nice he can fulfil his passion by driving in the Finnish Championship though.Quote:

He is not going make any money. He is not going to win.
It is a hobby, and he enjoys it.
And still he is not a tourist at all, but an extremely fast driver. Not at all like Therman, Arolainen, Merksteijns, Kuypers etc, who I admire a lot too.
When someone has a passion and an opportunity to live out it, it is fantastic to wittness.
I'll be happy to see him around next year!
totally agree

What Touhino, Block, Henning etc etc etc try to achieve is several points:
* First, having fun while spending time on their hobby (which many on this forum should do)
* Second, having fun with rally cars and competing against others in the World Rally Championship and trying to to their best and get the best results possible
* Third, trying to be the Best-Non-Sebastien-Driver-In-The-WRC-2011
About those others no comment, but I wish that sponsors here should consider, if it would be more clever to support someone who might have somekind future in the sport, on the other hand i dont think he will find sponsors.Quote:

But renault has no problems with it, what is more reasons to stay with Renault F1.
Lahti city council will make its decision on Monday whether they want Rally Finland or not.
There's also talk about combining Lahti Historic Rally (European championship) and Rally Finland. Finnish article on that one.
