In theory Fiesta you can only buy assembled, so looks like it will be french car...
I would assume it is a 208 or DS, Salo has connections to the importer of both. My bet is on the DS3
It's always nice when a young talented driver get his chance to show his skills.

I know Twitter is good. But some comments or videos from Rally Turku here as well please.
Interestingly the three fastest crews in Turku all finished within 0,9 seconds of each other and the two fastest crews Kruuda and Salo had an equal time. Rare occasion! Ari Vihavainen was third. Then again - there is no overall competition. Kruuda won and Salo both won their classes. Teemu Suninen had his maiden victory in R2 class. Ville Hautamäki in bigger 2WDs secured his first ever Finnish champion title after a long line of seconds and thirds. Well deserved!
Also, there is now a DS3 R5 in Finland at the moment. Smailov - Giraudet has been testing it the past weekend, but let's see where it'll end up...
They were even on entry list of Ralli Turku, but didn't start.
