Hi, friends!

As I said yesterday, last time I spectated some works team drive was in Bologna at Bettega Memorial in 2001. So that was 20 years ago so it was tine for a new joy, I would say.

So after 100km drive we found the road where the test was held.
We came there three hours after start of the test not knowing who is the driver today but we knew that Toyota is testing there.

In the service park I found my friend and co-driver from our national championship Lana S who told us that Kalle Rovanpera is testing today.

He had two or three runs every time he went out of the service.

First run was always for heating the engine and tires and then full attack time.

They had lanch time break at 12:30pm and after that they continued with the test.

Man, thay changed so many springs and set up settings that I couldn't believe but after some time car was less bouncing and that was the fact that they found the right set up.

His Toyota Yaris WRC still oversteered at some corners but that is normal when corner was full of dirt.

My friend Mario V filmed the test while I was watching and learning.

Did I say that I enjoy?! I did very much!

Hey man!

Can you somehow use a special tag for those posts, where you made the pictures yourself?
I just can not vote all your posts about rally, but I want to always upvote those post that are more personal. Especially the ones about your own racing.

Yep ok. Friends just started a business. I will buy a spot for them.
They are still re-designing the logo.

When I get their new logo, I will send you HIVE and put the link to the logo in the memo :)

@felixxx, if you want bigger logo on the bonnet, it would be around 1000 HIVE. If you want something smaller, just say it and we will agree something.

I was thinking ~ 200$

I know this only helps little, so a small sticker will absolutely do.
Like I said last time: it won't even pay for a single tire.

Last time the money was well spend. Whenever I saw my sticker, it made me smile.

222.222 HIVE is more about 120$. I will make a small sticker for my rally car before the first rally and it will be on the car this year. Also I will mention who ever you want on my rally outings in my posts. If you want mention in every post of every day, you should upvote 100% every post I make through the day ( I write two posts per day). @felixxx, thanks! :)
