@KoMDraegast Yeah I know what a roll cage is, who doesn't? I'd say the Hans Device equally important.

[Meton12765]

@grungebeatnick That's a good question, especially in the 1980's I really don't understand why anyone would've bothered with that stuff.

[tohtorigyro]

you can hear that the co-drive (jarmo) is a little scared in some places.

[ThreeSevenSpeedway]

Too bad he didn't this one, but still, an impressive performance! You ROCK, MIKKO!!

[qettyz]

So smooth driving!

Thanks for the upload!

[bankieman]

This is better than F1 ! ******* great!

[bdub232]

That really is absolute insanity. I'm surprised more of those guys aren't killed every year. Incredible driving skills though.

[KoMDraegast]

@bdub232 Roll cages save more people's lives than anything, these cars have no ordinary safety systems, the roll cages are the strongest part of the entire chassis, its beyond lifesaving.

[GhostDogNo83]

Mikko for presidet! Love Ur drivin'.

Wish to have your skill crusin' on road!

Keep up the good work, and kick all others ass out...

Cheer!

[benia1983]

[VitunPaskaNikki]

[1dlb]

hands down - best drivers in the world

[thodwrisb]

perfect!!!

[grungebeatnick]

someone remind me, why does anyone watch nascar?

[ulverup]

don't know man....

BTW what a badass stage

[chuteboxevaletudo]

i think with the general I.Q. of the NASCAR fan, that when they see all the stickers and paint, not to mention beer and bass pro shop sponsorship, its the all time redneck gumbo. i live a few miles from a major track and when it comes to town, i leave town just to avoid beating down ricky bobby wanna be's.

[SonicYouthXXX]

Its more about drinking beer and eating hot dogs I think...

[tallassb]

yea something about driving around in a big circle doesnt appeal to me either.

[gatewaychichi]

wow this is a pretty fast stage.

[jodamana]

Radical a velocidade a que vão com um piso destes.

Mas ele corta muito nas curvas, o que pode permitir fazer-las a alta velocidade mas é muito arriscado por causa das valas e das pedras.

[tomblord12]

in one interview on local rally radio mikko said that when his co-driver says "K" in the notes, normally you brake a little... in finland he never did brake when he battled against loeb. it was a close battle but mikko should have started the attack straigh away in fridays stages. loeb got too far away at the fridays stages

[jubitoftw]

I can remember the time i made compilations on VHS from 3 seconds clips from onboard camera. And now we can see loads of it! The best channel on youtube, just fantastic. Always a pleasure to see Finns tackle these awesome stages.

[incapiyu]

Great onboard camera, but the best onboard cameras are the ones 100% from inside the car, like Duval in Germany 2008 or Jari in Finland 2007. Still worth the 10 mins!! Thanks WRC!

[incapiyu]

Thanks WRC! Great video. It's a shame that it wasn't enough to beat Loeb. Next rally Finland has to be for Mikko or Jari!!

[Kippa16]

Amazing driving in this stage and whole rally actually,this year he will attack even more. Last year on 4x4 it must be Mikko or Jari Matti!

[danielbladh]

last year on 4x4?

S2000 is 4wheeldrive

[Tamabife]

Many Thanks WRC!

Mikko was pushing verry hard as you can see on the video, unbelievable speed, cutting every corner. Absolutely flat out.

WRC 4EVER.

Thanks again from Azores WRC.

[juhaket]

Mikko is really pushing there to fight Loeb... Too bad it wasn't enough.

Few times almost tossed it! Mikko has a really precise pacenote system and he wants them delivered aggressively, you can hear Jarmo coughing several times. I wonder why they don't have some cough medicine company as a sponsor... Just joking! :D
