Rally Finland 2012 will most likely be driven only around Jyväskylä area like it have used to do in so many years. This year's experiment with stages further south is said to be succesful economically (which I fail to believe) but there have been critical feedback from spectators and thus return to old form is considered.
So they're going to listen to spectators? They certainly didn't do that over here when RallyGB abandoned Kielder & Yorkshire...Quote:

Flip side of that is that 1000 Lakes goes back to a smaller area. Would people be happy if Rally GB goes back to a close geographical area again? I know that this years event doesn't satisfy spectators who want an all UK event, but from what i hear certain manufacturer teams don't like venturing so far from Cardiff bay, with its hotels and restaurants.Quote:

Maybe said Manufacturer teams can go and do Rallycross or something less taxing......Or when the sport is getting huge media interest they can start calling the shots!!
Why VW don't give Felix Herbold a chance? In my opinion he is the best young German driver available. Herbold won the ADAC Wikinger Rallye, the ADAC Hessen Rallye Vogelsberg and the AvD Sachsen Rallye this year. He wasn't that bad in the ADAC Deutschland Rallye, the IRC/ERC Geko Ypres Rally and the IRC Canon Mecsek Rally.Quote:

with Mikko's performance, neither my wife or i think that it is likely that Ford will renew his contact.
we think the problem is that Mikko cannot handle the pressure of being the #1 driver in a team, whereas Latvala apparently has no issues with it.
but, with VW (and potentially Toyota and Saab) coming into the mix in 2012, this should turn out to be very interesting!
LOL.......
are you still searching your archive for Loebs bahaviour ??
Ask your wife please..and also inform her in your family motorsport meetings that
1. Saab and Toyota are not coming
2. WV joins in 2013
and please continue with your archive search to speak more lies and about Loeb.
i agree with N.O.T, there is no way Saab will join the series in 2012 especially since the company is on the verge of being folded. If SAAB survives if we are very very lucky we
might see them in WRC in 2016 or something but not the nearest couple of years.
And Toyta have gone to the Le Mans series. So not likely that they will be back in rally either.
but i think subaru come back, with subaru trezia, same car as toyota yaris s. they already spread the rumours of an wrx 1,6 turbo version, optimalisaized for group N4/R4. short way to upper class.
