Go Vovos!!! :)

No Rantanen... It will be the fab four clearly ahead the rest of the pack. Nikara has my vote for the win.

It will be interesting to compare Lappi and Pajunen on this one. My 5 cents on Lappi.

[Jeppe]

Take a look of Mikko Pajunen testing (http://www.petriskog.com/Rally/2011/Mikko-Pajunen/15849254_gT46k#1188433483_BdueV) prior to Vaakuna Rally in beautiful and fresh (-22 degrees) Finnish scenery.

And yes it´s first (and only) Twingo R2 in Finland for the moment.

You can follow Mikkos and all others results from here http://tulossivu.autourheilu.fi from the friday evening 19:00 Finnish time (18:00 CET) and continuing in the saturday 11:00 Finnish time (10:00 CET).

Race on!

Here I am at the service park...waiting for first service to begin.
SS2 is going on just now.

Nikara slipped of the road and got stucked air filter full of snow. Missed there almost 2min.
Therman, Tiippana also same problem, probably same corner.

Are those final points right?
Isn´t 15 points for the 1st, 12 for 2nd and 10 for 3rd?
http://www.rallism.fi/attachements/2011-01-31T10-09-33318.pdf
If I'm right: Salo (38); Lindroos (34); Tuohino (32); Nikara (23); Tahko (12)...

[OldF]

Esapekka Lappi did a good job again. Three events, three wins.
