It’s great to see Lappi close to his dream win in Finland and Sunninen in P2. Hope both managed to keep positions till the end. Nice job from Evans today. Bad luck for Latvala and Veiby. Huttunen has been fantastic in WRC2 and so has Ciamin in JWRC. It’s always nice to see young talented guys being noticed, and this rally seems to be all about it.
Don’t think so, not in recent years at least and if we take off the first couple of WRC seasons, the closest we get is probably Toivonen in 1980 RAC (first win on his 4th WRC outing for Talbot Sunbeam, still he had a few WRC private entries in top Gr. 4 cars the previous years).
