Some news/rumours from Finnish Rally Championship few weeks before summer season starts:
- Championship leaders Salo and Lindroos will upgrade to R4 versions (Evo X and Impreza), but not necessarily ready for the next round in Hämeenlinna (May 14th)
- Kristian Sohlberg will drive Subaru in Hämeenlinna
- Janne Tuohino is said to bought Fiesta S2000
- Matti Rantanen is said to consider a car change for summer rounds, but to what car, no news. He could end up using several makes in the process.
Next round in Hämeenlinna is more of a sprint-type event with four normal SS and one tarmac SSS. Recced in the morning, run in the day, party in the evening kind of deal.
Last two FRC rounds are run in Lapua (June 11th) and Kerava (September 17th). Those two rallies will have an extra class for Vetomies title, Group F race, that some might remember as part of NORF or Lahti Historic ERC from past years.
