I guess Skoda were doing some testing on the way back from Portugal and wanted another opinion on the new car (and maybe Jan and Kalle were a bit knackered after last week!)
Anyway, nice to see Pontus and Skoda on good terms, and I see Ola dug out his old 'Skoda UK Motorsport' overalls from the Mikelssen days: https://twitter.com/PontusTidemand/s...59146356432899

I was thinking of one outing just for the feeling. Finland could be that one...

It's just that he's contracted to Skoda, and apparently they're typically quite strict with their deals. In fact, he's still contracted for next year as well, unless he manages to get a WRC deal. Originally Posted by Rallyper

How long a sportsman has to spend in the Finnish army? 3 months?
(Rovanperä is going there this autumn)

Minimum of 6 months, but it's not like you're there all the time. More of a PR thing tbh. I don't think Kalle has to skip any rallies. Originally Posted by Tarmop

Is this just a thought or a rumour (Pontus driving a WRC in Finland)?

Kopecky hasn’t driven Finland since 2007, so I think it’s highly unlikely he’ll start there. Pietarinen would be my bet. Originally Posted by pantealex
