And Finland's rally, you just have to watch these videos from a special program about Finland's rally :shhh:

But first, Kimi's first stage in Finland's rally last year:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PzoMd8OnDR0

Many have been waiting for this!

Kimi Räikkönen's first WRC-rally.

They asked him in the press conference: What are you going to do after F1?

Kimi answered: I am going to drive something!

Is it rally? We don't know yet.

JK (Juha Kankkunen): Yes, that's still a question mark but it could well be rally.

He said that he is too young to retire at the age of 30. This is a great opportunity for Räikkönen. The car he drives will partly be the base for the car WRC will use in the future. Beside him he has the Norwegian Bieldtvedt and Räikkönen plays it safe in the start, he almost falls asleep. The first braking, that goes well, Räikkönen is on the move. Making pace notes is probably the most difficult thing here in Jyväskylä for Räikkönen. He isn't used to having someone sitting beside him and gives him orders on how he should drive. Räikkönen has enough skills, there's no doubt about that and how far does Räikkönen's speed take him? Räikkönen's first special stage is now on. Juha, how does it look to you?

JK: It looks good. Kimi knows how to drive, very beautifully, but the start again.... he is usually good at starts in F1 but now he failed, something happened, the start wasn't very good.

There was no KERS!

JK: Yes, there was no KERS, that's probably the reason.

Bieldtvedt takes the leading position here, Räikkönen is 2.5 seconds behind him. It's good to compare the cars here too, the Norwegian's car is a N-group car and Räikkönen's car is a S2000-car. There comes Räikkönen, guaranteed work from Räikkönen, from Kaj Lindström, experienced co-driver, who certainly knows what the name of the game is. He is the right co-driver for Räikkönen. Räikkönen's first special stage is soon wrapped up and is it so that Räikkönen is winning the Norwegian? Yes!!! Räikkönen wins! Does he make the top time? New top time, Kimi Räikkönen 1.26. Juha?

JK: It's going well, it's going well. It would have gone better if he would have nailed the start but he drove really beautifully and nicely. You can see that a driving man does a precise job, a professional work and it was okay to watch it.

And the people at Killeri are completely crazy, people roar and scream. They have wanted to see this and now it's true. Kimi Räikkönen in WRC-rally, shows his thumb-up there, everything is going well. Räikkönen has been keeping a bit quite when it comes to interviews but what is the situation when he drives to the finish line.

Oiii.....Rally Finland, I would eat my hat, if I would have the chance to go there! :cool:

I was out with a friend yesterday, we already made plans to go to Rally Finland this year and are now a bit unsure since if we get real good tickets to Helsinki Motorsport then we would skip the rally and go there instead ''hmm''

It's going to be packed in Jyskälä this year - absolutely packed. So since my friend knows zero about rally it might not be the best idea in the world to take her there - she might have some idea about F1 (not sure since she brought as a souvenir in 2006 from Monaco, not the GP, a Ferrari-ashtray and other Ferrari-stuff :<>:

) so she might be as overwhelmed as Steve Robertson who was asking in Rally Lapland where the paddock is and when he was transported to the guest premises he was transported to citroen's tent :lol:

if I was you, I would definitely choose Rally Finland since it is after all one of the best rallies in the rally calendar.....

I wouldn't miss it for anything right now!!!

Wolfie · **Posted:** 03 Jul 2010, 11:21

But Leijona, can you take the chance of her possibly being utterly bored even though she suggested she would come with me in the first place?

I don't know how she would feel about it, the partying YES, but the wandering in the woods - not so sure :lol:

Wow Valuk, did you watch them all

It was so sweet to listen how he has been one of the spectators in Jyskälä and saw Colin McRae for the first time there - and was sold to him as was the rest of the spectators - flat out, that is something admirable and hopefully we will still see Kimi go flat out :pray:

Well, I think, I can't agree more than here!

This rally, beside the other Scandinavian ones, was the reason, why I started to watch WRC in 2007. :cool:

Kimi would have loved Ouninpohja..its so insane..I understand the other drivers though, its freeking dangerous if you drive out in high speed. There you just had to have guts to drive flat out.
