    I read somewhere a few weeks ago that the FIA helped finance getting Hayden Paddon's new Hyundai WRC2 get back to NZ, as they needed to make sure he was on the start line in the latest equipment from a PR point of view to bring in the crowds.
    Kaj Lindström told in an interview that the air freight for cars had risen but not that much. But the ticket prices for personel had skyrocketed.

    I think it was WRC Promoter, not the FIA.

    The FIA don't use their own money for anything.

    I think WRC Promoter actually helped financially most of the international competitors. They did for Kenya too.

    How soon after a barrel-roll is it appropriate to ask the driver for a photo in front of the wreckage?

    Yes, you're right.
    Ha, ha. Of course it wasn't the FIA. What was I thinking?

    For me SVG is the best 'all round' driver in motorsport at the moment; quick in everything he drives......

    Is there a better sound than that of Porsche engined Flat-6 ???
