The day KM sets a new stage record is the day he destroys Ouninpohja!

Could be a united Ireland sooner than we think, on the podium at the Finnish GP

 

[DC.]

Is it not a record saying it's being run in reverse direction?

Boys from the Emerald Isle are, quite literally, flying. Brilliant from the two of them.

 

[Graham]

Just asked there on twitter, there will be a 1994 time that may well be faster

 

[DC.]

They've christened him 'Meekinen' in Finland

Kankkunen did 16.13 in 1994 @Graham. Group A car, though. Meeke over a minute faster.

On the RMS Blog: Kris Meeke collected a momentous victory on the Neste Rally Finland today, after dominating the prestigious event from start to finish. The win means that the Abu Dhabi Racing driver joins an elite group of only six non-Scandinavians to triumph on the fast, demanding roads, surrounding the university city of Jyväskylä.

Craig Breen also made history by collecting his first podium in the World Rally Championship after a highly impressive and controlled drive (Read Full Article Here)

great read !

 

[Graham]

Highlights available anywhere on freeview folks?

 

[DavyC]

Great write up @Cess . Amazing pace from from the both of them. It's a real shame that our local radio stations dont seem to think it's worth a mention tho! Always plenty of boxing and golf updates (and fair play to those boys too!), Rodger's defeat gets a mention, but no mention whatsoever of Northern Irish and Irish men standing side by side on the podium after one of the most iconic rallies of the year.

 

[FM155]

Watched the power stage live on wrc+ earlier, brilliant stuff for the lads themselves and irish rallying overall. Hopefully will get time to see the day highlights later.

 

[davecoupe]

Brilliant. Great to see this wee island finally hold its own on the world stage(s).
