Few rallies demand more bravery. Average speeds routinely top 120kph, with cars flying through crests and sweeping bends that leave no room for hesitation.
Accuracy, rhythm and absolute trust between driver and co-driver are essential. Make one wrong call, and it’s game over – fast.
Finland is one of the WRC’s most historic events, and still one of its most revered. It's where legends are made, and where Finns in particular have traditionally thrived – though the international charge has stepped up in recent years.

About the rally
The Challenge
Did you know?
- First run in 1951, Rally Finland is one of the longest-standing and most iconic rallies history.
- Originally known as the “1000 Lakes Rally”, it earned WRC status with the championship’s launch in 1973.
- The rally is based in Jyväskylä, with fan-favourite stages like Ouninpohja, Päijälä and Ruuhimäki regularly drawing huge crowds.
- From 2004 to 2017, only two non-Finns (Sébastien Loeb and Kris Meeke) won the event – but that trend has been shifting.
