Siim Plangi looks promising.

Lindroos was also very promising He had superb starting position (17th) and he was leading the race for quite a long. He had a few scary moments, when he had a puncture before the end of one stage and just after the finish of the stage the wheel decided to leave the car :-) you can see it here (30 sek after the start of the video)

Unfortunately he retired two stages before the end due to the oil leak.

Joni Nikko was doing also quite well but he practically destroyed his car one stage before the end. You can see what happens when you drive into the stream in quite rapid speed: http://reikoh.planet.ee/main/ralli/nikko.jpg

You can see how clearly hi misjudged the corner here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RdrhLRhq3bI
starting from 0:40

It was very eventful rally :-)

Thanks for the links. Hopefully this rally served as a good practise for Lindroos for Finnish championship's gravel events. I think it did.
