Congrats to young Lappi. But I'm a bit disappointed over other's drivers performance...Fiftht at the end and already more than six minutes behind...It sounds awful.

What I was extremely happy about was that selfconfidence from Lappi. The young gentleman just noted that he was able to drive much faster if it was needed. Great great driving by him. If I was a teamboss, I'd put my eye on him already.

It´s still long way to the top, but he looks very, very promising.

The rally continues tomorrow at 10.22 CET with stage 6. The last stage (SS10) is a real mega stage, 47 km.

Overall results easier to follow Online1 valikko.

I don't think so that Salo made mistakes at these 3.7km stages. This short stage was driven after 2 long forest stages, so Salo's evo X tyres were not so good than Lappi's because evo is heavier.

I now updated my blog Rally Co-driver with our adventure in the Arctic Lapland Rally. With 233 stage kilometers anything can happen and at least our rally with the R2 Fiesta had its ups and downs.

Finnish Rally Championship continues this weekend in Mikkeli's Vaakunaralli. Third event of the series and at the same time last of the winter rallies.

Competion starts on Friday evening with a combination of super special stage and normal forest stage (11 km) and continues and finishes on Saturday with 4 special stages. Number of stages is little but the overall competetive distance is 113 kilometres.

Entries bare resemblance to earlier rallies this winter with most notable difference being the absence of Jukka Korhonen who is driving a BRC event the same weekend. Beforehand it's easy to predict that the podium will be occupied by same competitors as in Riihimäki and Rovaniemi - Lappi, Salo and Pajunen - but what will be the order remains to be decided.

Temperatures has been normally cold during the past 4-5 weeks or so, but at the moment it have dropped close to zero degrees. Forecast for the weekend in Mikkeli region promises temperatures between -4 to -6 degrees with a chance of snowing, so it should be proper winter rallying conditions.
