I understand there are faster roads than this that have been used for rallying in parts of Quebec, Nevada? etc.

Nice video, but would have preferred to hear some notes from Gelsomino :)

And no too well when there are narrow roads with turns on gravel. Look at how many SS1 or SS2 crashes he's done..... and that in cars very easy to drive.

Extremely wide and fast roads, sounds a bit like NORF, brilliant :D Except without jumps, boo! :mad:

Yes, but the difference is it this: it is the WRC guys, a few and a LOT of Finns that average 76-78mph or 110-118 km/hr on those Finnish roads, the best in the world.
Here it is guys who could never do top 10 in a Finnish F-cup Junior event averaging that.

So EITHER our roads ARE crazy fast (and relatively) simple,

OR!!!!

All the WRC team managers are all idiots that they are not waiting at the end of stage with a contract---with a 5 year plan---to sign us up>

I really can't say which it is...

That was last Friday. There was no snow this year but the temperature was around freezing when the sun went down.

Today Rally Sweden says they made some profit out of the rally this year. Howeever the media coverage was a minus result. Now they are counting on FIA to cover the loss.

Who knows what FIA will do and what they think...?

Edoardo Bresolin. Any more news about his programme?

Italy , Portugal and ... ...

I think we should create a thread about all these nobody tourists with money so all the members with the pervesion to care about them can post in there and not poluting useful threads with such trash.

and to be politically correct name the thread "gentlemen driver news"...because if it was up to me i would name it "useless middle age crisis millionare nobodies who like cars" thread

Is there an individual person out of pocket? Thats not good!

Nevermind, I hear Jean Todt wipes his ar$e with bundles of £50 notes, he will have to swop it for a couple of days and use bog-roll like the rest of us.

No, RS is a company actually. But did a big loss last year which this year has turned to a plus result. Except for media coverage which I think is in an other book keeping...
