Hi Makka, I find some more photos of Eklund's 911:




Now I have some question about this year 1978   :

Who was the driver of the Avenger # 108 ?
Who was the driver of the Simca (or Talbot) Rallye 3 (or 2) ? (I suppose that there is only few of them on the entry list)
Which codrivers and # numbers had the following competitors:
Tatu Vatanen (Escort RS group 1)
??? Vaananen (Skoda 130 RS)
Trabant team (Meischner and Galle)
Wartburg team (Heimburger, Heitzmann and Hartwich)
Matti Johansson (Escort RS group 1)
??? Ounap (and which goup for his Fiat 126?)
And the french driver Graindorge which it's Volkswagen 1303 S (also which group?)

Hopping that this will not be so much for you............

Hello!! Please see: http://www.juwra.com/finland_1977_entries.html

There you can find most of the info you needed. On that site there's a lot of rally statistics as well.

Sorry, the correct link for 1978 is naturally: http://www.juwra.com/finland_1978_entries.html

By the way, did you know that Tatu Vatanen is a brother of Ari?

Hello,

I agree with ttiirika, taht juwra- pages are best way to check the entry lists. By hte way, I was a spectator in 1978, and I remember that small Fiat 126!! It was so small...
