Any reports from F-Cup yesterday?

Well, I was there. Very straightforward event with hardly any crashes or other interuptions. It was nicely organised, mostly fast and flowing stages. Weather was kind of heavy, close to zero and especially during the first loop of stages which was run in daylight it snowed quite heavily at times.

Mercedes-driver Jere Rekola lead the event from start to finish. He used the advance he had from a higher starting number, he had more grip. Astra-driver Juha Rytkönen, also with higher number, finished second and reigning F-Cup champion Jaska Nuorala in his fast Volvo 240 bettered his pace throughout the event and finished third. Most notable retirement was Volvo-driver Tero Salminen.

After two events Nuorala now leads the series, Joonas Kolehmainen (who won the first event) is 1 point behind. Runner-ups Rekola, Rytkönen, Nevä, Ruoppa and Salminen are more than 10 points behind.

Next and last winter F-Cup event is Valkeala at March 1st.

Unbelievable news from FRC.

Saloracing Finland has filed in a criminal complaint concerning Juha Salo's retirement in Arctic Rally. The team believes that the car has been sabotaged during the night break in Parc Ferme by someone deliberately loosening one of the radiator hoses. They cite several Mitsu professionals who have said that they don't know a single case where this particular hose would have came unconnected by itself.

The real issue concerns the parking company which runs the parking hall. After the first contact, they promised to investigate security camera tapes. After that, they have not answered to Saloracing in any form. Also, as another competitor's service group had taken their crew's car to Parc Ferme around 3:30 in the night after a retirement on Day 1, they had seen a dark car leaving the parking hall. In the criminal complaint, Saloracing wants the police to investigate whether the parking hall company has deceived the rally organizers on the matter of providing physical guarding to Parc Ferme (as required by the rules).
