Finnish rallying championship news

Esapekka Lappi is leading the Artic Lapland rally by 17,5 sec to Juha Salo after the first day (Tulossivu). Seems like Salo made some mistakes because he was 6,7 sec slower than Esapekka on the last 3,7 km stage.

The rally continues tomorrow at 10.22 CET with stage 6. The last stage (SS10) is a real mega stage, 47 km.

Overall results easier to follow Online1 valikko.

No, it’s one rally with 1,5 factor.

Ok, Thanks! I think it is better like this :-) Less confusing for normal spectator:-)

Esapekka has won every stage today. One mega stage still to go.

Sami?

This was too easy for you. But ten points and papukaijan merkki sulle. :bounce:

Esdapekka won the whole rally and margin on the last stage was 1,3 sec in favour of Juha. In average speed it means 0,1 km/h.

At least Esapekka proved that the top speed of a S2000 was enough to win a fast rally as Artic Lapland. Average speed on the stages was between 115 – 123 km/h.

EPL is one hell of guy, congrats! Big :up: Vetomies mikä vetomies.

Esapekka Lappi: It's getting easier all the time, the more I drive the car, the better it feels. I got to be a bit proud of myself, as I was able to beat Juha Salo on these fast roads, which were not supposed to be all that suitable for this car.
