    Saddest of news. Besides Tommi Mäkinen, Hannu was single biggest rally driver I looked up to (and first one at that).

    Hannu was always my favourite driver, he showed me around his Quattro on the Scottish Rally once, and then some years later on the RAC rally when he was with Mazda, he recognised me at scrutineering and called me over for a chat. Absolute gentleman and very sad to hear of his passing.
    RIP Hannu

    For me he's the gentleman of rallying. Really likeable person. So saddened to hear the news.

    I know the corona situation doesn't allow it, but it would've been really nice to see Rally Mexico this month, first I wonder how Rovanperä would've cope being first on the road, and second, it would make the gap a little less huge until the next rally. Again, I know it's not possible in the current climate, just pointing the fact that it's a shame we don't get to have a rally (for the first time since 1996 btw) during this time of year.
    Only you know your true potential.
    This year we rally #ForCraig

    If you think RE is super fast them you havent seen Liepaja.

    Prepare for a lot of chicanes.

    Remember that Liepaja was almost on the calendar last year as well. It was only Hyundai who declined to go there.

    It was also announced as one of the spare events of 2021.

    It would be super fast indeed, and/or covered in chicanes. But in these exceptional times everything goes.

    The article says Liepaja would replace Safari, in order to make Liepaja, Estonia and Finland all within two weeks of each other. Then there's also Ypres as fourth rally with two weeks gap. Would it be too much for the teams?
