The story of Panizzi and Automeca pulling out of Istanbulrally

Geographical characteristics of Istanbul Rally is very similar to Finland Stages: fast and lots of bumps.
I think the most interesting stage is SS10 Ballica B-1. Some part of this stage was used in a National Rally named Pirelli in 2005.
The bump at the approximately 6 km away from the starting point of this stage is very dangerous. At that point 3 cars ran out of road after the bump.

, now there is a natural barrier to reduce the speed. Here are the pictures of that bump:

Alen was quick in Turkey last year too. I really enjoyed this rally last year, nice roads and scenery so looking forward to more of the same this year - except with more cars this time round

You should remove Panizzi and Augoyard from the pickem entrylist, as we all know now they won't be there

Even trying to slow them down...that still looks an impressive jump!
