The next rally is still over a month away but there's Kris Meeke news I wanted to post while still timely. Neste Oil Rally Finland (WRC.com) Wonder whether this is related to rumors Citroen are thinking about changing their driver lineup for 2014...an opportunity to evaluate another option? Meeke secures works drive for Finland (racer.com)
The record-breaking 101 car entry list includes 4 MINIs for the event, Nikara and Takho in WRC and Kikireshko and Gorban in WRC2. 101 entries for Finland (best-of-rallylive.com)

I can't wait to see the videos, etc. It appears to have been a heck of a first day. Stages 2, 3 and 4 each ended with ties in the overall standings. 9 seconds now cover the top 3 and 1 minute covers the top 12 drivers at the end of the first leg! Some stages in very bad shape, rain coming and going mid-stage(s?) and lots of punctures and other drama. Latvala is out (should return tomorrow) and Nikara finished 2nd on Stage 5, 1.3sec off the winning stage time, in his MINI. End of Day 1: Neuville clear in front (best-of-rallylive.com)
