Just curious - any news/rumors regarding Joensuu ralli and Kimi's rally season?

I've heard none, but that's his last chance if he likes to compete in Finnish national championships, because all the summer rounds are at the same weekends with F1 GPs.

However - Neste Oil Rally Finland is ran on a week after Hungaroring, so that could be possible (and interesting), right?

**HaroldMY** · 02-25-2009, 10:21 PM

I would be surprised if Ferrari would let Kimi do any rallying during the F1 season.

He is clearly making very good progress. An article in Motorsport News today says he would like to try a tarmac event.

**ådrrraj** · 02-26-2009, 12:52 AM

To answer my own question

If not under some special arrangement with organizer, we'll not see Kimi in Joensuu.

**vintsqyuid** · 11-07-2009, 09:06 PM

Found this topic again after reading some recent Kimi news:

http://www.motorsport.com/news/article.asp?ID=351201

I read also that he is the best paid driver with 30 million dollar. He has enough money to start a serious rally career now. I like the guy nowadays and hope he quits with F1 !

He should start next year with a private Ford WRC imo, the best car too catch up with the other guys.

**euylvaygdq** · 11-10-2009, 04:16 PM

I have heard rumors that Kimi plans to do Artcic Lapland Rally again. So, it could be good practice for Sweden;-)

rumours about that other F1 guys might be there too.

Kova?

**bestcigsnick** · 11-10-2009, 08:44 PM

Kova?

I whould guess Kubica!

**Efksqhyu** · 11-10-2009, 08:47 PM

I also think Kovalainen.

**escolubtessen** · 11-10-2009, 09:08 PM

Kimi, Kubica, Vettel, Häkkinen - but of course first of all only rumours.

**opelonafqe** · 11-10-2009, 09:53 PM

Kimi, Kubica, Vettel, Häkkinen - but of course first of all only rumours.

Vettel was here in a rally school last winter.

**ugosanchezo** · 11-10-2009, 10:21 PM

Just scroll down and see what Sniffpetrol make of Kimi's rallying debut!

Imagine in a few years time we have the opposite situation - WRC is more popular than F1, and all the F1-drivers have transmuted to be WRC-drivers!

How about that??

**wizardasa** · 11-12-2009, 02:45 AM

Rally was equal with F1 when C.McRae was in..

**Wavgbtif** · 11-12-2009, 04:12 AM

Rally was equal with F1 when C.McRae was in..

Don't think so, Colin McRae was just a very populaire figure himself.

The height of the Group B days was pretty much on par with F1, until they killed it off.

**wizardasa** · 11-12-2009, 04:20 AM

It's not TV sport as F1 but every kid knew who C.McRae was bacause of PS game..

**loikrso** · 11-13-2009, 07:52 PM

Until "they" killed it off??? I would rather say that Group B killed itself.

I also belong among those who will like to see Kimi in rallying, but reports from Rally Finland suggested that Kimi brought with him a "F1-attitude" that especially some rallying journalists found rather annoying. Being used to Loeb, Petter, Hirvonen, Latvala and all the other good lads from rallying, they found the star-attitude of Kimi well out of place. So he has to get rid of that in a sport where most of the stars actually are nice blokes and available to fans and media.
