http://www.nesteoilrallyfinland.fi/en/41760.aspx They are official car sponsor of the event indeed. But I guess it's something between the national importer of Mercedes-Benz and the Finnish federation, and it has little to do with Mercedes getting involved in rallying. Also rallye-magazin.de has a long history of publishing crap-articles.

The national importer of MB in Finland is a company called Veho. They also import Citroen, Ford, Honda, Skoda and Smart of which Citroen has been the official car sponsor for the event for few years now.

So, just guessing, but maybe Veho will not import or doesn't want to promote the new brand "DS" (only top-line models, no vans, pickups, etc. needed in rally organisation) but at the same time doesn't want to lose the huge national publicity gained through NORF collaboration and therefore continues by changing the car brand to one which can provide different kind of cars...

The Loeb Love is strong in him, and one or two others here. Any posts exhibiting anything other than outright Loeb Love will be met with a furious reaction, as you have seen….;-)

Forwarding a post that just appeared on my FB page: "Did you want a Paulo's comeback in rally ?" ......I'm starting my countdown to the venom-laced reply from our resident Greek philosopher! 10........9.....8......

A bit off-topic, but I don't think Veho is importer for Ford or Skoda (Ford Suomi and Helkama Auto respectively, I assume), they just sell those brands. They do import both PSA brands Citroen and Peugeot, having bought Auto Bon almost two decades ago.

Great news about Loeb doing Monte Carlo. It will be interesting how competive he can be though. I assume that Ogier can be a little bit faster especially driving the Polo, Jari - Matti has now the speed on tarmac but Monte Carlo is not a pure tarmac rally with all the snow and ice and I doubt that he can read the changing grip better than Loeb. Don't think that anyone else can be on par with these 3 guys. So a second place is very realistic goal! Of course I will be very happy if Loeb can be on the higher step of the podium!
