What about parking with the bus service, can you go back from stage to the parking area whenever you want at any time (for example leave the stage after 15 cars)?
Thanks
Not sure why Citroen changed their numbers anyway, Breen has been #8 all season, but originally Qassimi was #9 like it was printed on the magazines, perhaps the waiver to change them around was made so late that the magazines were already in print. However, Tuulilasi includes Lefebvre in the driver profiles, saying "he might surprise in Finland". :DQuote:

Service park map with car numbers.
#22 WRCT driver Jean-Michel raoux is missing
#70 WRC3 driver Jakub Brzezinski is missing
any other driver missing?
There was some news that Brzezinski will stop his WRC-3 program after Poland because of poor results.Quote:

Hey boys I just got off the phone with a good friend who I build his engine and flywheel and suspension for his nice rally 240 Volvo and I even (yikes!!!:uhoh:) co-drive with a couple of times...He called to say he's arranged a very last minute trip to Finland with his family and negotiate with his wife to get one day off , Saturday, to go watch WRC...
Very last minute, brilliant planning, I know, but the poor boy doesn't have a clue what to do to see anything..
His name is Albert Kun but we call him Alperti Kunkanen because every rally driver should have a Finnish alter-ego.
He's a very nice guy, very good humor and generally fun to hang out with..
Can some of you guys temporarily adopt Al and drag him along?
Just Saturday......
Pelle! You have room maybe? language should not be a problem, he can understand me so he can understand anything...I have even tried to teach him some Finnish swearing (well he did ask what I was saying on Stages about his driving...)
if you can help and have some space please send me a note with your mobil phone number and maybe even say where you think would be smartest for him to be...
Naturally he's flying in to Helsinki so he has to go up North somewhere...Train? Buss? Where?
If you have any brilliant ideas please email me cause I don't know if PM works so well..My email is janvanvurpa "at" gmail 'dot' com
Now since he's a Volvo 240 rally guy sure he wants to see the big heroes but I know he will be extra thrilled to see F-cup or vetomies too...I have been encouraging boys to get to Finland or Sweden and see what "normal" people drive like ---or "Abby Normal" people in typical club level cars..
Please let me know....
I must say that I don´t understand what you are asking?Quote:

There is "public" test on monday in Keuruu "army area" but for who?
WRC2? JWRC?
(I know that privateers are also welcomed and Printsport drivers are attending)
Some stages have a bus line between parking area and stage, at least Pihlajakoski. I don't know how often it runs but if I remember correctly it's non-stopQuote:

So, answer to baffo is YES, you can leave which time you want.
and Raoux did withdraw from last weekends AutoGlym rally, so it´s safe to say #22 and #70 are non starters.Quote:

Leaving tomorrow morning, see you on the stages. So excited!
They fixed the Tuulilasi official program today so now you can view it, but you can't download it as an PDF in an easy way i think?
great..I emailed him and he's excited.. Hope you guys can hook up..He is a good guy..Quote:

-Tänak will win because:
--Ogier is not fast enough
--Neuville will watch what Ogier does, no big risk
--JML has got some mental problems, again
--Meeke will do somekind bad move, maybe car will break this time
-Lappi will be fastest Toyota and Top3
My prediction is that Tänak, Meeke, Paddon and Suninen will make fast stage times but not finish on the podium. I hope all cars will be competitive.
Another prediction is that the fight for the win will be tighter than ever on this season. It will be an epic rally.
Weather forecast looks like we have dry on friday morning and saturday morning, maybe some rain on both afternoons, thursday and sunday. But most likely the roads won't be totally dry even if it doesn't rain during the stage, probably quite damp.
Ogier will be quicker than Neuville but may finish behind JML. None of these 3 will be the winner in my view! I shall post a review of the 2017 crystal ball progress befor the start of NRF
Definitely feeling a bit sore not to be attending this year. I've done three out of the last four Rally Finlands. Very jealous of everyone who is going. It's going to be amazing. I'll be back in 2018!
Toyota press release: http://toyotagazooracing.com/wrc/rep...9/preview.html
Hyundai: https://motorsport.hyundai.com/targe...innish-podium/
Interesting that Finland is the only rally where Hyundai is yet to score a podium
Very hard to predict, just about anything can end up correct. Specially since it's hard to predicts crashes.
My go:
Latvala most likely to win - in Poland he was top3 fast on a rally he was never that good at, in Finland he has very good results from before, lots of testing with Toyota and has become stable this year
Neuville and Tanak will be fighting for 2-3, but Tanak with his wild style can pay dearly if he does a small mistake, Neuville has not done very good here and has been close to major offs in Poland too. Tanak might get some team orders to finish so M-Sport gets manu points.
Ogier will try "stable and safe" 3-4th place after loosing 20-30s on day 1 with road position.
Lappi can get up to podium if others crash, but not top 3 speed (note he has never been near Latvala in same road conditions)
Paddon 4-5th
Citroens are off course huge unknown, for Meeke he surely does have some pressure on, my guess is either he goes for win and crashes or he keeps it on the road in 4-5th place, the second option is surely better for both him and Citroen. Breen most likely to keep it on the road in 6th place.
Sunninen will get a good stagetime or two but probably crash. Hanninen either 8th-ish or big crash.

Now, your frien Mr Kun (Kunkkanen) need help. I have no room, yet. My plan is to stay over in my own car or maybe I´ll find room, but nothing decided yet, except for I live on hotel Wed-Thu.Quote:

@janvanvurpa Mr Kun can join if he will be at Jyväskylä 6am or Jämsä 7am Saturday morning. More details should be in PM, right? You get PM from me right away. (even though you´re at sleep right now ...)
My US weather app (not always consistent) is saying we will have some rain on Thursday, Friday and Sunday. Wet conditions will be interesting
no rain please, it will be not fun then to be there.
28 x R5!
Will be cool, almost more interesting than Wrc!
some of them will have the experience of their life, on the 1000 lakes roads!
And the cool thing is that there's no Mikkelsen or Tidemand to take a clear victory, instead it's gonna be a tight battle between Veiby, Greensmith, Huttunen, Nordgren, Camilli and Asunmaa.Quote:
