A Historic Challenge of Speed and Precision

Rally Finland, which began in 1951 to determine Finnish entries for Rallye Monte-Carlo, is famous for its fast jumps and flat-out sections. While changes have reduced average speeds, the rally remains a formidable challenge, especially for co-drivers. Drivers navigate a mix of wide and narrow, technical roads with blind crests, making precise pace notes essential. With stage times often very close, even minor mistakes can cost valuable seconds. During the summer, Jyväskylä, the rally's host city, experiences long days with minimal darkness, creating a grueling but rewarding experience for competitors.
