2 Jimmy McRae/Ian Grindrod (Opel Ascona 400) 232m 8s

I need to check my typing more carefully in future!

[Juha]

Mika Sillankorva/Juhani Nieminen-FIN-Escort RS2000

Shouldn't this be Minna Sillankorva / Johanna Nieminen ?

I'm not certain at all but the names look remarkably similar.

ARBÖ Rally 2-10
7. Werner Grissmann/Peter Vogel-A-Ascona

Lucien Bianchi 3-10
9. Paul Erik Jensen/Ellen Syberg-DK-Kadett GT/E

[kabouter]

Shouldn't this be Minna Sillankorva / Johanna Nieminen ?

I'm not certain at all but the names look remarkably similar.

Mika and Juhani is correct. And if you look at the 1983 1000 Lakes result, both Minna / Johanna and Mika / Juhani took part A very good example of why first names should be included in results, such a shame that in so many countries first names were hardly ever given in results or entry lists...

[Juha]

A funny coincidence then.

It's a very annoying habit, I have lots of entry lists where I can't be 100% sure who is on them because they didn't even mention the first letter of the first name.

[RobertS]

About Rally Skoda there are two versions of result. Some say Sjunning was 5th and Blahna 8th (a.o. M.Holmes) and other (including all known to me Czech or Czechoslovak sources) say that Blahna was 5th and Sjunning 6th. Now guess who is right.

januszsz,
My poll is on the Czech sources >



Same results from the Hungarian magazines in 1980 >
