There was no success to Finns at Finish ceremony either: first JML got bit off-track and got stuck on the ramp. Then organisers used wrong Finnish flag (one for govermental use etc.) for Hirvonen and on top of it all,the wrong flag was even upside down!

It sounds rather odd that driver's are making agreements on top of what roadbook says. And if it was meant to be driven from the right side of the divider, why left side wasn't blocked by anything? Safety issue?

And what has it got to do with MTV3.fi......??? What team/driver are they representing? Haven't they done something like this before? Extremely small time behaviour.

Well, as far as I know they have their accrediated journalist present. Between rallies their articles are worthless, but on rallies they might have something to tell the others doesn't. Sorry if it offends you anyway.

A protest has been made regarding SS7. Take a look at the bottom of the provisional final results sheet. mtv3 just writes the news.

No, it doesn't offend me - it just seems they're the only ones making noises about it.......would they be as concerned if there were no Finns taking part?

Maybe not but I don't really care. Media is a good watch dog. MTV3 was the main reason behind Loeb's penalty back in Sardinia because the ultra-fast tyre change wasn't done by the book and it was MTV3's TV-personel that noticed Elena being without safety belts.

Don't think they would have a reporter down there if there were no Finns taking part...
