So many WRCs, but the winner will be a group N driver again?

I think you could be right, I think the winner will come from that trio - Katajamäki, Alen, Välimäki.

And Basti Lindholm will finally not run anywhere at all this year ???


I was therefore expecting him to run in Finland on the 207 S2000...

It looks like Basti will not run this year, but there might still be a small chance to see your beloved 207 S2000 in hands of a finnish driver later this year...just yesterday I heard a rumor about Janne Tuohino possibly getting a 207 S2000. No idea when or what series (IRC maybe). And take this with a grain of salt...the source of the rumor was not what you could call totally reliable

There was also talk about Anton Alén getting to run in the Punto S2000 in one of the later FRC rounds.

About Peurunkaralli, looks like it's gonna be a great event - see you at the stages!

Really? Mikkonen said in some interview that he was expecting a good battle against Vihavainen in a Focus. Any news if he is gonna buy a new WRC????

Just when I thought there was gonna be a WRC-car winning a FRC event finally this year. Maybe Vihavainen can surprise, or even Papa or Eklund

Mikkonen will have new car for the summer (next Finish championship event will be in juni) I personally think it will be S2000, not WRC

Would this be a 207 S2000 from a russian team(I've read in national rallies thread that a russian team bought two 207 to run estonian and finnish championships from this summer)...???
