SUMMARY:WRC Secto Automotive Rally Finland
DESCRIPTION:Smooth and blisteringly quick gravel roads\, buried among forests and lakes\, are characterised by massive stomach-churning jumps. The fastest rally in the championship and the one that every driver wants to win. Bravery and commitment are essential here more than anywhere else. \nChallenge\n\nA mix of hard\, wide roads with narrower more technical sections.\nFlat out from start to finish. It is affectionately known as the Finnish Grand Prix and nine of the 10 fastest WRC rallies have been here.\nPace notes must be perfect. Blind crests often hide corners and it’s vital to position the car correctly before take-off to ensure maximum speed through the bend.\nSpeeds are so high that time differences are small and there is little opportunity to regain vital seconds after a mistake.\nOne of the hardest rallies for co-drivers as high speeds demand a constant\, pinpoint accurate delivery of pace notes.\nMastering the jumps. If the speed is too high\, the car’s aerodynamics will force the back down and the front will rise. The tactic is to brake before take-off and accelerate full throttle over the jump.\nAdapting from a traditional summer rally to autumn\, when the smooth roads could offer exceptional grip or wet weather could bring softer and rougher conditions.     \n\n  \nCar spec\n\nGravel suspension.\nPirelli’s soft compound Scorpion tyres will be the template choice\, but hard compound rubber is also available.\n\nService park\n\nBased in central Jyväskylä’s Paviljonki exhibition centre. WRC teams will line up in the ‘main street’ near the harbour\, with support category teams indoors. Paviljonki is just a few minutes walk from the city’s shops\, bars and restaurants.\n\nEvent History\n\nDates back to 1951 when it was launched as a means of deciding the Finnish entries for Rallye Monte-Carlo.\nIt took on the name 1000 Lakes Rally and was included in the calendar for the WRC in its first year in 1973.\nIt has been dominated by Finnish drivers who have won 55 of the 70 editions. Top of the roll of honour are Hannu Mikkola and Marcus Grönholm with seven wins.\nThe 2016 edition was the fastest rally in WRC history. Kris Meeke won at an average speed of 126.62kph.

SUMMARY:South African Rally Championship - Tzaneen Rally
DESCRIPTION:It will be a matter of three plays one\, when the South African National Rally Championship heads to the stunning Merensky Forest for a tough weekend of rallying at the NTT Tzaneen double-header around the Limpopo town over the weekend of 25-26 August. \n \nJJ Potgieter and Tommy du Toit’s Hyundai R4 leads the charge to the bushveld town after winning three of the four National rounds so far. In essence still NRC1 rookies\, Potgieter and du Toit only celebrate their first year in the top class this weekend\, after debuting at this rally last year. Another rookie NRC1 duo\, Jono van Wyk and Nico Swartz’ Toyota Gazoo Racing Starlet halted their unbeaten run when they claimed the Round 4 win in the Eastern Cape. \n \n“Tzaneen certainly is a favourite for Jono\,” navigator Swartz explains. “He won his class here before\, the whole team is brimming with confidence after our win last time out\, we have a good car and a good team\, and the plan is to win both rounds outright!” The forests around Tzaneen however present their own challenges. \n \n“The roads are rough and narrow\, so this one’s a lot more technical than other national rallies\, and ambition can easily outweigh ability. “So we will be careful in our approach and must look after the car.” No easy task\, considering Potgieter and du Toit won’t relinquish that advantage without a fight and will be pushing hard for victory in both rounds after taking a day win on debut here last year\n \nChris Coertse and Greg Godrich are celebrating a year of rallying in their Rally Technik Mazda2. Always on the pace and ready to capitalize on any mistakes\, the reigning South African Rally Champions will be looking to break their 2023 duck after taking perhaps a little too cautious\, but still a consistent and points-scoring approach so far this season.\n \nThe fourth crew in the equation\, Toyota Gazoo circuit racing refugee Mandla Mdakane and Kes Naidoo showed significant pace in the second Toyota Gazoo Racing Starlet in the Eastern Cape\, after engine issues stopped them in the opening two rounds. They ended second on the second Jeffrey’s Bay day and are out to make the Tzaneen event count. “We’d love to finish in Tzaneen with another Toyota 1-2\,” Swartz grinned.\n \nTzaneen loves rallying and the NTT Rally is one of the bushveld town’s major annual attractions. “Support from the Tzaneen Community\, be it business\, the local council\, traffic department\, SAPS or just the rally fan in town is just phenomenal\,” National Rally Championship Administrator\, event organizer and Clerk of Course William Louw explains.\n \n“Tzaneen has been part of South African Rally history of in SA for many a year\, so we are most excited go back there for a second consecutive National and Regional event. The local community has been remarkable\, businesses have rallied around the local organizing team and competitors are in full prep mode to ready their machines. We thank each and every one who has contributed to make the NTT Tzaneen Rally possible!”\n \nFriday’s Round 5 features seven tests\, starting with the 4.6 km Mineshaft stage. Four Merensky Forest stages follow in the 12 km NTT Honda Agatha 1\, 31 km NTT Isuzu Dam\, 16 km PPS Pipeline and 12 km Honda Agatha 2. Friday concludes with two thrilling evening runs of the popular 1.5 km NTT Toyota Twister in the centre of Tzaneen. Regional cars will join the action there\, with quickest crews starting last.\n \nSaturday’s full national and regional Round 6 starts with the superb 5.9 km Supaquick Testing Centre spectator stage and another 12 km run over CIM Lubri Fuel Agatha 3. Crews then face two runs of 31 km NTT Isuzu Dam 1 and 2\, each side the 16 km PPS Pipeline test. NTT Rally Tzaneen concludes with the 2.7 km Star Spare Finale spectator stage from gravel onto tar at the spectator friendly Tzaneen Showgrounds Rally HQ and the Service Park.\n \nFind out more and follow The NTT Tzaneen Rally on Facebook or the www.nrcsa.co.za website.
