Wow! Hard to believe a quarter of a century has passed.
I wonder how his career would have continued. A sad chapter in WRC history.

One of the WRC's most colourful characters, R.I.P. Henri Toivonen.
The legend lives on that is for sure!
Yes, it is 25 years and thats why organisers of Tour de Corse wanted to have this year event in first week of may. Despite they told it lot of months before, WRC and Sardegna organisers gave their events into the same date...
Attilio Bettega died on the same day in 1985 and with the same #4 on the door
No change to start order format in WRC for 2011. Process being used at present to remain until end of 2011 season...
a wrong.... but fair decision... hope the rules change next year.

An incredible rally-related crime has came up in Finland! :eek:
A well-known codriver has been sentenced to jail for over two years and a mechanic for over a year after they committed a fraud lasting over several years. The codriver was a manager at Nokia's factory located in Salo.
The manager (codriver) told (and adviced how to) the mechanic to do bills that looked like coming from Nokia's subcontractors. The number of bills was over 100. With this technique, they were able to obtain over 600 000 euros.
The money was largely used to maintain the team's rally cars and to buy spare parts but some was also transferred to the manager's account.

Totally incredible! Interesting to see whether the driver comes up with a statement. The driver, whose codriver this guy was, is a real figure in Finnish rallying, drove his first rally back in 1977, etc... They were a pair since 2002.
Some irony involving, because for many years they had "NOKIA" stickers on their car... :rolleyes:
Mikkonen has said already in court he did knew nothing about from where Ervasto's money came so don't think he will give any further statements....Quote:
