Nice looking rig you have. What help you are looking for? Are you already familiar with the rules -> http://ilmoittautuminen.mimmottis.net/saannot ?

Kun joitakin pakko opetetaan toiselle kielelle...
 

Onhan se ihme kun ei Suomessa osaa Suomea? :p

Thanks!

Rules I ofcourse need to read also. Because I guess it's different everywhere.

What I also would like to get help with are we're I going to find info about the races and how I can registry.

I did see in 4x4.eal.ee calender the different races what was this year. But I can press anywhere to come to some info.

And I'm impressed that you can't write in English what are the language of the world. Also that you still don't know that ahvenama (åland) is 100% Sweden talking island.

So sorry from my side that I did choose other topic then finish language in school. Yes I would like to understand that language today. But when you are young you make other desissions.

Sorry for Offtopic, but..
These decisions we have done during our youth are not always the smartest.. but our own.
I personally did not like any languages at school so I did not learn them then. Later I had to start reading to manage some at work.
Finnish, Sweden, English and Germany.. How much easier it would have been during those days than at later date.:mad:

Hi,

Well there are no translations to English or Swedish for rules, but those are short and quite easily explained. In Vaasa region where first race is held in February are quite many Swedish talking persons who can help when you contact them.

For example head of the race for first race has promised to help. He speaks quite good Swedish and if that is not good enough, he can organize person who speaks Swedish as first language to help you.

So please contact:

Ok. I have talk with him over Facebook but he can't Swedish or English? He's wife can speak Swedish but.

One thing we wonder is how the class for different cars works? Noon road legal car? Or tier size?

It would be more simple to tell what kind of car setup you are thinking of rather than explaining all the rules of different classes.

Car classes:

PikkuPyöräinen (small tires)
- Road legal, road inspected car and traffic insurance.
- Tires 33" or under (383mm)
- Max person count for car is looked from registration document and every team member has to have good/safe seat and seat belts. Smaller amount is max person count.

IsoPyöräinen (big tires)
- Road legal, road inspected car and traffic insurance.
- Tires over 33"
- Max person count for car is looked from registration document and every team member has to have good/safe seat and seat belts. Smaller amount is max person count.

Avoin luokka (Open class)
- No need to be road legal, but has to have insurance.
- You can use car or ATV
- Tire size is free
- Moving car from one race area to another in public roads has to be done with trailer, if car is not road legal.
- In car, every team member has to have good/safe seat and seat belts.
- Every car need have traffic insurance or "maastoliikennevakuutus" (i don't know correct term in English)

Mandatory eguipments for all classes:
- Winch (can be manual)
- Fire extinguisher, at least 2kg.
- First aid kit
- Working phone
- In front and rear of car, good and sturdy place for winch hook.
- Strap for winch which can be looped round of tree to protect it. Towing strap. 2 shackles.

And couple more things:
- Every team has to have digital camera, with removable memory card.
- All equipments in cars has to be sturdy attached. (no flying things inside car if some accident happens)
- No oil, gasoline, coolant etc. leaks in cars.
- Chainsaw or axe are not allowed equipments.
- Roll cage is recommended

(off course you need also driving license etc. :) So technical rules are very simple.

Rules for next season are not yet released, and I don't know if there will be some changes...

Im not sure cause i didn't like math very much in school, but still i would say that 33" is bit more than 383mm ;)
