Mladá Boleslav, 28. September 2021 – Since 2015, crews driving the Rally2 variant of the ŠKODA FABIA have always celebrated class wins at the Finnish round of the FIA World #rally Championship (WRC). This year’s #event (1 – 3 October 2021) is not part of the program for current WRC2 drivers’ classification leader Andreas Mikkelsen (NOR) and his overall second placed teammate Marco Bulacia (BOL). With the duo of ŠKODA Motorsport supported team Toksport WRT absent, all eyes are on private ŠKODA FABIA Rally2 evo crews competing in category WRC3. Finnish local heroes Emil Lindholm/Reeta Hämäläinen, Teemu Asunmaa/Marko Salminen and Mikko Heikkilä/Topi Luhtinen are among the favourites for category victory.
Rally #finland is back in the FIA World #rally Championship (WRC). After a COVID-19 related break last year, the “Finnish Gravel Grand Prix” is the tenth round of the 2021 season. The ultra-fast tracks in the vicinity of Jyväskylä were always a proving ground for young talented Finnish drivers.
2015 and 2016, ŠKODA Motorsport factory driver Esapekka Lappi won the WRC2 category, Jari Huttunen and Eerik Pietarinen, both competing with privately entered ŠKODA FABIA, won the category the following two years. 2019, the winner of the WRC2 PRO category was ŠKODA Motorsport’s shooting star Kalle Rovanperä, while the Russian talent Nikolay Gryazin (ŠKODA FABIA Rally2 evo) broke the Finnish dominance by winning the WRC2 category for private drivers the same year.
