RIP Pentti,
I had the privilege of being taught left foot braking and the Scandinavian flick by the master himself.
I met with him on a few occasions to chat about rallying and loved the immense detail he could recount about so many rallying incidents.
A great talent and rallying personality.
Pentti - you'll be missed.
My thoughts and prayers go with you and your family.
RIP Pentti, a real legend...
R.I.P Pentti
One of my oldest rally memories is Pentti driving Isuzu Bellet, just like one my cousin did those days.
R.I.P Pentti, i have awesome memories of our times together, your jokes, your talent, your willingness to share your experiences to help develop others. I learnt more with you than can be imagined. My thoughts are with your family in this sad time.
I hope it's OK to post this but I did get it in a press release (it's also been posted on other websites) so assume it's OK for public posting.
