I think that'll be Marko Martin or Duval as it's a Fraud Focus. Makkinnen has been, funnily enough in an Impreza this year

Good pic though.

Is that Martin or Duval - or neither?

Dunno, but it must be Finland (if it's WRC, which I suppose it might not be).

On second thoughts, is that an Estonian flag in the background. My money is on Martin (still in Finland).

It was me on holiday in Finland last year, those Hertz Focus' are really nippy [hijack] If you get the chance Finland is well worth a visit, about 80% of the roads are like the one in the picture, lovely scenery and peace and quiet, spent the whole week fishing, rowing around a lake, sauna'ing and swimming naked....hardly saw a sole and had the whole place to ourselves (woods were kind of scary at night though).

I'm pretty sure it's Martin. It looks like the same shot that Autosport used for their Rally Finland coverage, but from a different angle. He's got some serious height there, hasn't he? That's more Hollywood driving than Rally driving!

it was this years Finish Rally. I can't remember what stage exactly but it was one of the major, well known jumps. Everyone was doing around 50ft (IIRC), the Pug's did far less but Marko Martin was going for it (had problems earlier in the rally IIRC) and took the car for a flying lesson.

The in-car footage is awesome, his co-driver gives Marko such hacky looks, it's great!

Oh, yes, if IIRC the in-car shot shows a slightly bemused Markko re-adjusting his helmet after a slightly heavier than intended landing.
