I can tell you more here:

The word "varuprov" means sample or pattern meaning I was sent this small photo and was able to order bigger photos. However at that time I spent all my money on rallying, being a student as well, so not much money to pay for all costs. I drove thre rallies in that car and sold it later in the autumn. But I had become C-class driver and my goal for that year (1972) was fulfilled...

"The record of Jari-Matti will be hard to beat, although we never know, but 100 rallies in the World is also a good number, it's good, but I have not really thought about it yet. It's a snapshot, hope it will not be my last rally, I still want to do this job in the coming years, and we'll see when it stops, "said Thierry Neuville.

Neuville made his World Rally Championship debut on October 2, 2009. He raced a Citroën C2 R2 in the colors of the RACB. He did not finish the test. In the 14th special, the alternator broke down. The Belgian was in 21st position and leader in the R2 category.

"I do not remember much, I remember where it happened, we go there every year and I sometimes have to think about it, what I remember is that we did the shakedown with the notes Sébastien Loeb (five times world champion at the time and official driver Citroën, ed.) In this way, we were able to check his notes once again and I had the chance to understand his system of work. also offered to drive the entire race with his notes, but then I declined politely. "

The special quiz '100th' of Neuville

His first rally WRC: "In 2009. I remember it vaguely, it was in Spain."
His most beautiful victory: "That in Sardinia, in 2018."
His biggest output: "The worst was in a test session, in rally, maybe the shakedown in Finland, we managed to cut some trees."
The rally he wants to hang on his record: "No idea."
The opponent for whom he has the greatest respect: "Everyone, but some are more dangerous than others." Sébastien Ogier is a real reference, there is Sébastien Loeb too, with whom I share perhaps the character Always give the maximum without playing other things. "
197 departures for Latvala, is this a goal? : "We'll see, if the sport evolves towards the electric or the hybrid, it will be necessary to know if it will please me still."
How would he summarize his career? "It was fast, I started practically without experience in an almost professional setting with the support of the RACB, I arrived very early in the WRC, and yet I had a super speed It was a little lacking in regularity, but we have been able to work this point with time, we are 4 times vice-champion, we have been close by twice, we still have a few years ahead of us, it should be done. "
What he would like us to remember from him: "I hope I have been able to impress some of our fans, I'm doing the best I can, always."

"If I wanted to fly, I would've become a pilot" - Walter Rohrl talking about his dislike for Rally Finland

[Rallyper]

Well, with those 600hp+ engines and very poor suspension, I´d agree...

Nowadays no excuses for top driver to compete in Rally Finland
