Bleh, looks like it's only one stage visit this year, fortunately stage 11 is not far from Sysmä. :)

Don't know but if it's Lindroos it's quite natural as he has a massive experience of 0 km with s2000 ;) .Quote:

There's no doubt - Joonas is going to be FAST! :)Quote:

Chris Atkinson writes in his Facebook that he's coming to Finland for recce. I hope this mean he has/is included in plans for WRC comeback.

I know they can do recce-only, but do they have gravel crews? I was thinking more along those lines. ApologiesQuote:

I see Ogier is talking about a win in Finland, going to be awesome. I should be on a plane heading northwest right now!!
Ogier might challenge both Latvala and Mikko like they have never been challenged in this rally.
If you look back at Ogier this season, it's almost mindblowing..... Faster than Loeb in Sweden, leading in Mexico before crashing, win in Portugal, win in Jordan, not so good in Sardinia, victory in it's hands in Argentina before blowing it, win in Greece. Ofcourse in rally you need to finish but if he managed to keep it together in Mexico and Argentina he might would have been well in the lead of the championship. And I think if he wins in Finland he might just be set to win the title.
Pretty incredible.Quote:

As long as it doesn't affect their performance, then hell, bring a skyscraper if needed...
They seem to have lots of money even if they don't win. I'm starting to think Ford is the Chicago Cubs of the WRC.
Hope this is from this year :) .Quote:

Rantanen Livery? I was waiting for a Mini Mad Croc crocodile design, but is nice...
I think it is Matthias Therman who has Mad Croc livery.
Rantanen in 2009, Therman in 2010, but The Therman Car is known as "Who Let the Dogs out" Focus :PQuote:

A grande attack in the race as well for sure, but staying on the road is another thing.
