    I guess Skoda were doing some testing on the way back from Portugal and wanted another opinion on the new car (and maybe Jan and Kalle were a bit knackered after last week!)

    Anyway, nice to see Pontus and Skoda on good terms, and I see Ola dug out his old 'Skoda UK Motorsport' overalls from the Mikelssen days: https://twitter.com/PontusTidemand/s...59146356432899

    I was thinking of one outing just for the feeling. Finland could be that one...

    It's just that he's contracted to Skoda, and apparently they're typically quite strict with their deals. In fact, he's still contracted for next year as well, unless he manages to get a WRC deal.

    How long a sportsman has to spend in the Finnish army? 3 months?

    Minimum of 6 months, but it's not like you're there all the time. More of a PR thing tbh. I don't think Kalle has to skip any rallies.

    Kalle and Pontus

    btw.Pontus should start with WRC-car, maybe his last chance resultwise for this year (Rally GB is too far away for any future negotations)

    Is this just a thought or a rumour (Pontus driving a WRC in Finland)?

    Kopecky hasn’t driven Finland since 2007, so I think it’s highly unlikely he’ll start there. Pietarinen would be my bet.

    I would also bet Pietarinen

    but Kopecky will drive every event what factory allows/wants him to do.
