There's also talk about combining Lahti Historic Rally (European championship) and Rally Finland. Finnish article on that one.

I'm just thinking how in the hell could the organisation handle the combination of about 120 cars of WRC event plus all the historic competitors which are around hundred. If the traditional Xerox event is kept with the historic one, then the approximate number of cars would rise to around 250 plus all of hundreds of thousands of spectators... :s mokin: One helluva event!

I'm already now so damn excited, so much new (or atleast last used in the early 90s) stages coming. So much to spectator-recce to do with endless opportunities. :)

My sources told me that M-Sport will move its WRC Academy activities in Poland during the season... maybe they don't have enough space in Dovenby workshop...

...don't know if they will open a new factory or they will be partnered to any local team!

Now the matter is clear, shouldn’t be any barriers for NORF around Päijänne. :)

Bet Quensel is re-thinking his strategy now.....

All the luck to him of course, but...

I know 2010 was a learning year for him, but his pace (or rather off pace...) in S2000 shows indication that he won't be capable of being a real threath. He might level with Wilson.

Both Abbring an Weijs Jr. are much more promising, but no money means no drive. Hope seeing at least one of them in SWRC.
