    I am going all 4 days, but not sure if I am doing Dyfnant yet. Where else are you going? (better move this discussion in the WRGB though)

    Shame, it always difficult to rely on public transport to spectate rallies. pm me if you want and if I can help somehow it would be great

    As the WRC has dropped most of its endurance, it could be argued that the WEC is tougher....

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

    Good luck for the future Mikko, you were always a spectacular driver to watch and a great character for the sport.

    Very good decision, he was a real fighter for some years and gave the best driver of all times a real fight taking the battle to the last round.

    It is a pity he ends his career on a low but props to him for realising that the time has come... all the best Mikko in everything you do from now on.

    Has Mikko been signed up for a few European cross country rallies in something like the nwm Ford Ranger? He could give the Dakar a go if it works out, being a mechanic might be helpful.

    I feel it is the correct time for him to go. It was clear from this season that he didnt have the motivation to fight on. Lets hope for a great Rally in Wales to finish his career on a high!
