Loeb started the mindgame. "I don't have to win rally Finland".... right. He'll keep the pace up there and forces Mikko to take risks which eventually might pay off.
Mikko has the chance of winning but he'll have to do twice as hard work as he did last year.
Latvala.... no way he'll win. He wants to finish so he keeps the brakes on and finishes on podium.
Petter... he thinks he has the chance and steps on the same mine as Ogier and goes off.
That's the whole rally. Now you don't have to even follow it :)
so who wins.... ?
Loeb wins this one.
So everyone - what stage will you open your rally with, except from Lajavuori which I presume everyone will be at.
For me I probably chose Urria because I donīt know any good part of Jukojärvi even though Iīve done recce there a couple of times. Of course we have the last corners of that stage but itīs so well known by now (even for Kimi) so I expect nothing to happen there. :p :
hope Mikko ... if not ... will be a disaster :'Quote:

I will cry tears of joy and excitement if Kankunen is on podium.
Jari still fast in Finland... i see him on podium ....Quote:

Would be good if he win, that would mean Ketomaa would be second :)Quote:

Plus I always loved to watch him drive, he takes so smooth lines :)
I'll say Mikko.
That's because fastest driver in Finland (JM) is still in the cage and Loeb has said he's not going to give give 100%. Ok, that might be psychological warfare but anyways he does not actually need the win.
Petter and Ogier may crash because both are really pushing for win.
Kimi vs. Juha I'd bet for Kimi. 56 km's of testing for Juha is just not enough. Finland is also the "closest to tarmac" gravel event.
I think Petter can win this one because Citroen is much much faster this year and he have bben allways fast in Finland
peter never has a clean run in finland....
Yeah, but somehow those 300km without off/crash/etc are not easy to come for Petter :-) If you look at the past :-) So, realistically it will be between Loeb, Mikko and Jari
I think Kankkunen is capable of being the best Stobart driver. I think his limited amount of testing will play a role though. He has to rely on knowledge and his natural talent, but what's the pressure really, it's already a joy to see him drive a WRC rally again, no matter where he ends up.
Oh yeah, and I think this is the only rally where Hirvonen and Latvala can excel this year. I doubt Ogier will take many risks on his first outing for the works team.
Juho Hänninen will drive Fabia Evo 2 from Skoda Italia (I guess).

I'm picking Petter for the win.
Faster car than the Fords. Faster than Loeb due to him only driving for points.
Faster than Ogier due to experience of Finland.
Hirvonen a close 2nd.
Loeb 3rd.
I predict Sordo will put in some fastest stage times as well.
KKK in 5th!
The last stage of the rally will be broadcasted LIVE on the Italian national tv (free to air) RAI.
RAI SPORT 1, 17.00 CET
Good to hear, pino... isn't it? :D
Good news indeed but I will be in Finland watching live so it doesn't matter for me :D As for the winners I would love this podium :Quote:

This rally will be very interesting for several reasons.
Ford, Hirvonen has obligation to win therefore he will have to take a maximum of risks. Latvala must remain very close to Hirvonen in case hirvonen goes off.
Citroen, Loeb must assure a smooth rhythm to remain in contact of hirvonen without taking too much risks. Ogier should not forget his goal now, that he must inevitably mark a maximum of points for the manufacturer championship before thinking about himself. Sordo liberated from any pressure is going to be able to confirm his big progress on this surface. Petter Solberg will passes or breaks. Raikkonen with more experience risk creating a big surprise with a very good result. Kankkunen will be behind the habitual actors of the WRC his talent will not erase the weight of the years. Excepted from a lot off road front of him. For Juha as for everybody, it is not unfortunately possible to be and to have been.
finally this rally should be very opened for final result.
I hope for the sport this race for Ford would be not se same end as Bulgaria this way should be ā great disaster.
That the best wins !!!
My wish, as itīs all wishes above - JML wins and Mikko close second. Petter third.
1) JML
2) MH
3) PS
Loeb DNF.
Kimi 5th.
Juha 7th.
The other Citroens somewhere 4-8.
Close battle in S2000 and PG wins
Flodin takes victory in GrN.
Thatīs my wishes.
Now only hours before I enter the ferry for Helsinki.
It shall be a very exciting rally for many reasons.... :)
Thank you. What is your predictation about Kankkunen and who will be the fastest S2000 driver?Quote:

Loeb, Seb O, PS, DS. I think the car development of the Citroen will result in another overdriving display from the Ford drivers I will assume the Ford co-drivers have the car wreck recovery team's number programmed into their mobiles.
It will indeed be very interesting, I guess we won't know whether Seb will go for the win before day one is gone. Petter will certainly go for it, I predict either a win or an off for him.
Does anybody who has been to Alkio opisto know how the internet works here? Password on the wireless which they had no clue what was, but not on cable they tought, but I can't connect at all with that...
As I told you there is always the prepaid USB-modem option...Quote:
