Finger posts
Corner cutting is common practice in Finland as drivers use every inch of the road to keep their speed up. But while clipping the edges might gain the odd tenth of a second here and there, the scrabbling tyres damage the roads and this year the Finnish authorities have taken steps to protect them. Brightly coloured finger boards [pictured below] are all over the route this year, warning drivers to keep clear of the edges. The signs are made of sheet aluminium mounted in a rubber foot, so it wouldn't be a disaster if a car did hit one. Question is, how many drivers will take the risk?

Yes, I am just up over here 06.20 and I see Breen---isn't it he who rolled a few meters into SS1 at WRC Poland, and here here and now BREEN AGIAN! and Neuville, and several other POOF! and where are the armchair heroes calling them "focking idiots"?
Now those guys calling Lukany an idiot must know something.....where is the piercing analysis now?
Personally I am very curious how these various guys are driving so riskily...I raced for decades and I know its always a balance but I wonder if the guys are in reality PAST their own skill limits and only the amazing suspension saving their asses most of the time? Or are these smaller cars so short that when they let go, they're just GONE and rotate around faster than the guys can catch the rotataion---
I don't know... but it is a bit odd we see guys throwing the cars into the woods so early.John Vanlandingham

Craig Breen : "A tyre came off the rim on a high speed corner and we could do nothing about it... "
