Finnish rallying championship news

[Rallyper]

I've seen many of those events from very close, no need to watch Youtube. I just like to hear from Japé what makes the difference comparing to the other championships in the world.

Ok then, you should know by now.

The most illegal recce championship in the world, maybe? I prefer events with real pace notes, more fair for everyone.

What makes the F-Cup the best rally championship in the world? How many different championships you have been watching around the world? I'm just curious.

Well it is a far way away, and with all the snow and wolves and hungry angry moose, a scary place and the women,, now that I know about but the F-cup I just watch, and i spread the word. You could call me John the Baptists bringing the word of F-cup to the blind in the wilderness.

But a wery vise-guy said it maybe better:

The idea is to cut the costs. Turbo and 4wd is ideal for the performance, but it’s like a Pandora’s box also. It will always be expensive, if we are thinking about the amount of rallies and km which are driven in the world rally championship. It’s not a rocket science to build fast 4wd turbo car and drive rallycross, hillclimb or small rallies for a hobby.

Lot of average drivers have been champions at the national level only because they have had enough money to buy good 4wd turbo car. In the 2wd field it’s not so easy, no matter how much money you have, cause there are plenty of very skilful drivers.

That's the key I think...and not just because I have 2wd rally car which I do, but also I have one old Group N & 1/2 4x4 car, but it is getting un-4x4-ised...

Fine, enter events with pace notes...

Some people need crutches.

As you noticed I'm not against group F or 2wd cars. I just don't get it, how on earth F-cup is the best championship in the world. Many countries have national homologated 2wd cars which are VERY spectacular and the level of skills is high. If the F-cup would be driven with normal pace note regulations, then it could be awesome. When there is corners like they have had where 20 to 40 cars went off is it cost-effective or cheap for a normal working class driver? With the pace notes you can decide by yourself, which corner you want to crash your car, it's not decision by the marking mistake of marshals or the spectators which have prepared the corners also to see more crashes.
