VW motorsport chief Kris Nissen attended the recent Rally of Finland, visiting the service park at Jyvaskyla following the shakedown on Thursday morning. According to the web site, Nissen met with series officials to enquiry about the new technical regulations and plans concerning the appointment of a central promoter.
