Another tall tree from the forest of rallying has fallen, sincere condolences to Niko, family and friends.
Like Bruce I well remember that effort at Western Springs speedway track when he went around the outside of Hannu using the banking and part of the wall. Boy it sure did set the tone for the future for all us Kiwi drivers who were watching them. That moment redefined our definition of a rally superstar
What a terrible news, I too have had the chance to meet him a few times and shared a couple of beers, at Neste Rally. What a great and funny guy he was, no to mention his driving skills. It was an honour to have him on this forum...
R.I.P Pentti :(
Dear Niko,
Thank you for posting the sad news.
A sad loss of a legend.
RIP Rentti

My very sincere condolences to Pentti's family and love-ones. I'm very sad to hear this. True rallymaster from head to toe and very very funny and nice man in person and here on forum.

RIP Pentti. For me a whole rallying legend with his old Vauxhall. Very sad news. I was very intrigated with that picture about Pentti and Hannu at 1979 RNZ at Western Springs. I´ve never seen it. Would it be possible in this thread to be published as hommage to that spectacular driver? Many thanks anyway
This is very sad news. What a nice guy and a driver he was - i loved his every comment here in the forum.
My condolences to family.
RIP Pentti
Very sad news.
Still visualize him on the old airfield in UK giving instructions.
May he rest in peace
My condolences to the family and friends
