In Finland yes, but Anton Alén is nowhere in tarmac rallies. Hirvonen is able to take some points on that rallies too. I agree with Hänninen, but Loeb is a class apart.Quote:

Nice fight in Gr.N tough in Finland with Salo and Haninen, Ketomaa little bit further behind. ;)
Wilks leading the JWRC before Prokop, little bit of a surprise to me, certainly in the Honda Civic. :D
Wilks is not subscribed in JWRC, so Prokop leads. ;)Quote:

Ok, thanks for that Wim, but he is leading 2WD category surprisingly. ;)Quote:

Don't think any tactics is appropriate for rally Finland's road surface... Just need going as fast as you can.
No need for tactics in Finland. Mikko will want to be in front.Quote:

I only listen because of Colin (The Scotsman). I think he's quite good. The others are crap (IMHO).Quote:

Östberg off at the same spot as J-M says the radio.
Ou-nou... and they were three...
In-car from Latvala´s off this morning - had he lost the control of that car a few tenths of a second earlier, it could have been really really bad:

Indeed... so it's now confirmed to be a mistake in notes, no stone mentioned in there
Yes :( and down to 3-2 in Norway-Finland in top 10Quote:

Well, is it Latvala's or Anttila's fault?Quote:

Apparently Östberg didn´t have that rock in the notes either, reports say he hit it as well.
Latvala's, he is the one who decides what goes in and what not. Co-driver just reads back what he has been dictated during the recce.Quote:
