Interestingly in Finland I see no real reasons for any kind of barriers, natural or artificial. But try to stay too close to the road and some of the locals will loudly remind you about this.Quote:

It's not very fair to compare Poland rally with Finland rally, basically not fair compare any rally with Finland - they has so strong rallying and spectating traditions, that other can only learn from finns.Quote:

Latvalas second pass was pretty fast. Suninen doing well. Showing his talent...

I'm sure the Citroen guys will do 2-3 more passes over the stage.Quote:

Doesn't matter. Not uncommon to get WRCs even mixed up with R2 cars later on in Shakedown.Quote:

Mikkelsens statements in autosport doesnt look good if this continues on through the weekend
Mikkelsen actually managed to make a faster time than Evans, but Breen and Lefebvre remained as the slowest WRC cars.
Suninen also did two more rounds, but couldn't match his third run
Mikkelsen just went for 5th run but basically these are the final results

2:19.0, nowhere close to the pace he should haveQuote:

Mikkelsen looks like he wishes he had just kept driving the Skoda R5.
Do they follow championship order on the first run of shakedown also?
Trying to figure out pace for the first run
(and i know that it is only a shakedown and that some take it easy and that it has no bearing on the rally proper what so ever etc etc).
That'll make things interesting for sure...Quote:
