I doubt Hayden himself is really interested driving with a r5 car.
What could he prove there? He wants to prove in top class which unfortunately won’t happen.

Meh, bad luck, but he wasn't very good anywayQuote:

Don't get high hopes for Breen, it's just one-off, because Sordo and Loeb don't want to drive it there. I can see their sitaution next year with their existing drivers. Neuville, Sordo (he have extra motivation now with his recent win), Loeb (Maybe yes, maybe not full season) and if Mikkelsen will be out Breen will come to the team more often if at least one of other two will not want to drive full season.

That is a different matter, which may well be true. Paddon may well be very interested, but unable to raise a budget from NZ for a season in an R5 in Europe/WRC2(Pro). Est though doubted that he was interested. I said "If he's not interested"...Quote:

And Breen never drove R5's in WRC events, only in national ones (in Italy, Ireland, Belgium) where R5 was the top class.
He said before the season, that his team will get the latest version when it becomes available. Maybe related to that?Quote:

Rally friends with experience of the Urria stage. I want to go to the Mikko's Crest area but the spectator parking (P4) is a long way to the spectator zone. Is there a shuttle bus service between the car park and stage? I've done this a couple of times in Ouninpohja but just wanted to check.
Hope everyone has a great rally!
Hi everyone! Don´t forget to make your Pickems for Rally Finland! Note: a few hours earlier closing time, this round.
Me myself will in a short moment start my trip to Jyväskylä. Ferry from Stockholm at 20.00 hrs CET. See you guys on sight. :) :)

It´s now raining a bit in service park / HQ area. +13C. High point today was +18
Average speed of mondays WRC2 test was over 140km/h (Emil Lindholm´s data)
I see quite many people from Forum going to the rally, I'm already here, so it would be nice to meet someone!
We might come to service after shakedown. Which team are you working with?Quote:

Finland here, tarmac rounds there and in the end you don't win any championship.Quote:

we are definitely coming to the service park after shakedown and thenwe are going to eat in Jyväskylä in the famous Buffa ;)Quote:

Anyway, good that the summer break is over, look forward to a nice battle and hope we get actions till the last kilometres! Let's see if Jarmo Lethinen can make it 2 podiums in a row, that would be quite a come back!
Have fun rally friends.
If Greensmith would be driving without bringing any budget, probably. But still it would be sad to miss the event for someone else's mistake...Quote:

Rally Radio special warned last night that it is drier than ever so absolutely no fires or barbecueing in the forest, and if possible, quit smoking for the weekend. Even though now it's colder, it's still drier than last year. It has rained less in Jyväskylä during the summer than ever while it has been measured.
Servicepark is open today from 16PM to 20PM for FREE, no need to wait after shakedown...
Me and RallyPer will attend, probably every day.
I live in that area.
See you guys at the stages. Have a safe rally everyone.
Why Rhys Yates isnt here:
Gutted not to be starting @RallyFinland this week. Time just beat us in getting the car fixed after a heavy @ypresrally crash. Back for Rallye Deutschland ! https://t.co/Pp492EK4LR
