rally finland

[passat TS]

IMHO,

Don't expect too much from the Fabia's this year. It's tough to catch up in
a short period of time in their business. The main thing is submit the car
to the different rally conditions to see what breaks, fix it and submit
again to see it if breaks again. I don't know about the others, but M-Sport
strip down their cars to the bare metal after each rally to look for cracks.

Marko is still at the mercy of the reliability of the new car. Tough call.

Marcus is a easy pick if nothing happens. However, McRae and Carlos are
fighting for a next year works team spot. Hovenperra is another good
candidate.

The last is the tradition of only Scandinavians win in Finland.

Cheers from my WRC couch,

Carlos
