Matti Koskelo entered with Toksport's Fiesta RS WRC.
Also with Toksport, Janne Tuohino in Fiesta R5! I like that
Suninen also in the list now. this is gonna be great!
Cool list. Lots of WRCs on there or N.O.T to count haha.
Glad to see Suninen added as he was a key guy. Bergkvist would be good. I was really hoping for Hanninen, especially if he's got a drive next year. He'll need to knock some of that competition rust off.
Question for the Finns. There are quite a few guys in R5/S2000 machinery I haven't heard of. Are there any young talents there to watch out for? Or are we looking more at gentleman type drivers?
Hayden Paddon will enter Autoglym Ralli in Kangasala on July 16th as a part of Hyundai's PETs. That rally resembles a lot of WRC leg, four stages driven twice, over 100 competetive kilometres. Stages are naturally been used in 1000 Lakes in the past. Also a few other Rally Finland starters in Autoglym Ralli such as Teemu Suninen and OC Veiby.
My "info" told me that Hyundai will be driving with 2017 car... But we will see what happens :) Usually teams dont (or atleast nowadays) start their PET session with smaller rally.. In late -90´s and early 2000 it was usual here in Finland that some teams drove a small rally after their test session to Jyväskylä.
Jarkko Nikara misses Rally Finland but joins Vetomies which is run alongside the main event. He'll start with his Evo9.
The green battle wagon?
Now I need advice, knowing nothing about Finnish roads as a NRF virgin!
On Friday is it possible to do more than 4 stages comfortably?
On Saturday we want to maximise our Ouninpoha experience but which stage is best / easiest to get to after the WRC cars have had their second Pass
Advice or good spots to head for gratefully received!!
Still a place in our car and cabin going for a reasonable price if someone is excited by what looks like a fantastic entry list!
