NEXT RACE KOUVOLA 26.07.2008
HAPPY BEACH 12.07.2008
Result: 1th in my class and 1th overall
Happy Beach sprint this year was really Happy Beach, finaly I
got my first victory!
What´s better yet is that it was the second race of the
future Rallisprint cup and I got full pot. The first run
went very well and in dry conditions, under my second run it
started to rain hewelly. The car works really
well and I am exited to go to Kouvola for the third race of
the cup.
ISO-SYÖTE HILLCLIMB 20.06.2008
Result: 2th in my class and 4th overall
The hillclimb in iso-syöte is not part of Future Rallisprint
cup, but it has become an midsummer tradition for us.
This time we had the new engine installed, and the dyno tests
had shown good results. In the practice run the
day before raceday I got the fastest time overall. First run
on raceday went without problems and I got the second
fastest time overall behind a Mistubishi lancer evo 9. Then in
the second run I made a mistake in the final
corner and thid not improve my time from the first run, so I
droped to 2nd and 4th.
RAAHE 10.05.2008
Result: 15th in my class and 30th overall
The sprint in Raahe was the first race of the 2008th season
and also the the first race of the Future Rallisrint cup.
I had to use the 1,6l engine cause I had not got all parts for
the 2,0 liter engine yet. The race itself did not go
well, lots of missed gears and other misstakes related to the
first race of the season.
HAPPY BEACH 14.07.2007
Result: 11th in my class and 28th overall
Happy Beach sprint is allways a nice race to take part in, so
an experiment engine were built to this race.
It is an Bmw 1,6 l M10 turbo engine with allmost 300 hp.
Unfortunately it rained all day and this race were a
disaster for us. The 1,6 liter engine were pretty much
undriveble in the rain.
ISO-SYÖTE HILLCLIMB 22.06.2007
Result: 3rd in my class and 7th overall
The hillclimb in Iso-Syöte is the only race where a practice
runs are allowed, they are ran the day before
the race. My practice run were very competitive, and I aimed
for my first victory at raceday.
But someting happend to the engine in the first run on raceday,
half way in on the stage the engine
started to lose power. I completed the stage and got a nice
podium finish anyway, but the engine
werent what it used to be.
JYVÄSKYLÄ 10.06.2007
Result: 2nd in my class and 2nd overall
I am getting more and more used to the car and able to push it
nearer the limit.
Besides, this track in Jyväskylä suits the car very well.
There are a video from the race at

IKALIS 02.06.2007
Result: 3rd in my class and 5th overall
This time it went a lot better, no gearstick breakdowns this
time. I was very satisfied whit the result from this
race. But the weather was very hot and the engine ran a little
bit to warm, so before next race
I have mounted an extra fan and I am also going to try Water
Wetter.
RAAHE 05.05.2007
result: non
Only a few weeks remained and the new motor where still in
pieces, but we managed to get it together.
We mapped the engine on the weekend before the race, and it
showed that the winters efforts had payed of.
We did not have time to test much before raceweekend, so we
decided to take it easy this weekend and test
the new engine.
In the first run i got to the second corner and then the
gearshift broke. In the pause between runs I managed
to get it welded together, just to experience the same thing
in the second run.
It later showed that the gearstick where full of cracks, a new
one was ordered right away.
