Neste Rally

The driving is almost unbelievable. The silver bullets lead the entire pack by a minute. 70+ mph over the hills is nothing less than amazing. Oops, too much air for Burns & there goes a minute plus cuz of busted turbo piping.

You bet Richard, that Rally was a blast! Did you see McRae's Focus ignite on fire? He said something like a blown oil line caught on fire. The next Rally looks good, all tarmac and high speed just how I like it.

I guess the WRC Finland Rally aired earlier this month...well its new to me! Good stuff to watch anytime though.

yes, nowadays known as Neste Rally (because of Finnish oil company is main sponsor)


They confirmed that rally will be in Jyvaskyla at least for next 3 years.

Here are some photos I found in the web, they are from this years rally.



In many places (on narrows gravel roads) the speed easily goes over 100mph and if i'm not wrong, Ford Focus WRC goes 0-62mph in~5.5 sec on gravel. Not bad !

Well, it's also easy to make by yourself; all you need is a hammer, an old (indian) car and one elephant.

Here's the receipe
