The third Finish Championship rally and the last of the snow events takes place this coming saturday.

Entry list here: http://www.tenab.net/v2007/0703101l.htm

Follow rally live here: http://www.tenab.net/online.htm

There we see some interesting entries: Ari Vihavainen returns in a Focus WRC after over a year long repairs to his car due to accident last January. Also Kai Eklund in his first ever rally in a WRC car. Note also a supposedly one off entry by Aki Teiskonen to his homerally.

So many WRCs, but the winner will be a group N driver again?

I think you could be right, I think the winner will come from that trio - Katajamäki, Alen, Välimäki.

And Basti Lindholm will finally not run anywhere at all this year ??? :(


I was therefore expecting him to run in Finland on the 207 S2000... :mark:

It looks like Basti will not run this year, but there might still be a small chance to see your beloved 207 S2000 in hands of a finnish driver later this year...just yesterday I heard a rumor about Janne Tuohino possibly getting a 207 S2000. No idea when or what series (IRC maybe). And take this with a grain of salt...the source of the rumor was not what you could call totally reliable :)

There was also talk about Anton Alén getting to run in the Punto S2000 in one of the later FRC rounds.

About Peurunkaralli, looks like it's gonna be a great event - see you at the stages!

Really? Mikkonen said in some interview that he was expecting a good battle against Vihavainen in a Focus. Any news if he is gonna buy a new WRC????

Just when I thought there was gonna be a WRC-car winning a FRC event finally this year. Maybe Vihavainen can surprise, or even Papa or Eklund :D

Mikkonen will have new car for the summer (next Finish championship event will be in juni) I personally think it will be S2000, not WRC

Would this be a 207 S2000 from a russian team(I've read in national rallies thread that a russian team bought two 207 to run estonian and finnish championships from this summer)...??? ;)

Salo is the man this time. No mistake. Everything was still open before the last stage. Finland has got no (few) WRCars but they've got huge battles for each place. Good to see newcomers in N2 this year, Rantanen 8th and Nikko 12th. Nikara ridiculously fast.
2 questions to Finish members: where does Arminen come from? How old is he?
What is Vesa Mikkola up to this year?
