EL: Yeah, first time. The roads remind us a bit of our roads back in Finland and it looks good so far. The target is definitely to get through the rally and to see how our MRF tyre performs, to get valuable data, to get info and to develop it further. I think we have a fair chance of getting into the top five but tomorrow will show. Q: You performed well in Rome but how are the tyres coming along because they must have more experience on gravel than they do on Tarmac? EL: This is definitely true and, already, qualifying showed already that the tyre is quite good on gravel. Honestly, the development has been super-fast and I’m so delighted to see this because this is only the second rally I am doing with the gravel tyre and, already, it’s showing this kind of pace. The development is really speeding along and I’m sure there’s much more to come. Q: You’ve been busy, Rome, another rally in Italy on gravel, which you nearly won, what was that like? EL: That was a great rally. I’ve said the roads here are nice but they were as well in Arezzo.

  • Tight Security for Qiyam Prayers
    Min 30º Max 43º FREE www.kuwaittimes.net NO: 17264 - Friday, June 23, 2017 Tight security for qiyam prayers Worshippers pray at the Grand Mosque in Kuwait City early yesterday. — Photo by Yasser Al-Zayyat (More pics on Page 9) By Shakir Reshamwala housands of worshippers thronged the Grand Mosque early yes- terday to spend the night of the 27th of Ramadan in prayer and Tsupplication. But the number of attendees was fewer than in pre- vious years, possibly due to tightened security measures, construction works and multiple layers of checks. Worshippers had to pass through metal detectors and undergo body pat downs before entering the mosque. Streets surrounding the mosque were cordoned off, and unlike previous years, praying on the streets surrounding the mosque was banned. As on other nights, eight rakaats of tahajjud were performed, fol- lowed by three rakaats of witr. The first four rakaats were led by Sheikh Ahmad Al-Nafees, and the remaining by Sheikh Meshari Al-Afasy. In the interval, Sheikh Ahmad Al-Qattan delivered a short sermon, extolling the virtues of memorizing the Holy Quran and urging the Arab and Muslim nation to stay united. The Grand Mosque in Kuwait is the hub of worship in Kuwait in Ramadan, and thousands pack its cavernous interiors throughout Ramadan. Many believe ‘Laylatul Qadr’ (Night of Power or Decree) falls on night of the 27th of Ramadan, but this is not a confirmed fact as Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) instructed Muslims to hunt for this night on the odd-numbered nights of the last ten days of Ramadan.

The FIA World Rally Championship (WRC) returns to action next week following an enforced six-month pause with a brand-new event, Rally Estonia, joining a revised 2020 calendar. Hyundai Motorsport will field a three-car entry into the rally - round four of the season - with Thierry Neuville/Nicolas Gilsoul, Ott Tänak/Martin Järveoja and Craig Breen/Paul Nagle competing in the Hyundai i20 Coupe WRC. The team is eager to resume its championship defence following mixed fortunes in the opening three rounds earlier in the year. Victory in Monte-Carlo was followed by consecutive podiums in Sweden and Mexico before the global pandemic put a stop to international motorsport. Heading to Estonia, which will represent familiar territory for local crew Tänak and Järveoja, the team holds second place in the manufacturers’ standings on 89 points. Two consecutive second places for the crew, in their first season with Hyundai Motorsport, sees Tänak hold fifth place in the drivers’ classification. Monte-Carlo winner Neuville, meanwhile, lies in third place but the Belgian is ready to mount a fightback on Estonian gravel stages, which he last contested in 2012.
