Rally Finland 2011

I've been at a presentation of the Impreza R4 in the Azores two weeks ago. STI Japanese technicians said their goal was to be about 1.3 seconds/km slower than the S2000 and around 1.4 seconds/km faster than N4's. Might be true but we're never sure because there is always a part behind the wheel and stepping on the peddals...
Truth is Arai and Nutahara never came close to S2000's and were clearly beaten by N4's...

R4... another japanese failure in motorsport ???

Cant complain about MTV3max live broadcast with Markku Aléns comments as icing on the cake.

in world level yes.

they are good for local village people events though since they are cheaper.

Probably, specially if it comes to be true the story about low cost swrc cars at about 100.000€...

In comparison to N4's the makes will probably put the difference clearly: if they can't make the r4 much faster they can surely make the n4's a bit slower...

business as usual

Unsurprisingly the broadcast ended before Tänak´s turn, plus they cocked up Ketomaa´s run as well and showed him only at the finish of the stage. But here are the top guys in SS3, featuring Mikko and his new coupé Fiasco:

Τοm it is not a japanese failure.With these rules you can t produce something better.Except if you mean that a european manufacture could make it better.
Yoy can t beat a rally car which borned from a blank paper for this purpose,with half way solutions like R4
