Korhola, who drives a Ford Ford Fiesta Rally3 for Finnish team Rautio Motorsport, stormed into the lead after the first full-forest stage on Friday morning and never looked back.
The 20-year-old built a sizeable lead over second-placed Jesse Kallio which he maintained for the rally’s entirety despite nursing a brake issue through the final two days. His final winning margin was 35.6sec.
“It’s been absolutely a dream-come-true moment for me,” Korhola smiled. “Everything has worked out really well despite us having some brake issues yesterday, and I have been carrying some brake issues today also.”
