And once again, brilliant result of Jonas Lindroos, 10th overall at Itäralli :cool:
Finnish rallying championship continues on Saturday with the first gravel event of the season. The event now is held in Riihimäki. Surrounding roads have been used for rallies numerous times in the championship, in local events and also some in Rally Finland in early 2010's the latest. Of course, the selling points for this event are Jari Huttunen and Takamoto Katsuta both in World Rally Cars. The R5 turnout is really poor, only seven crews will start, but otherwise the entry list is nice with over 160 cars. This event is a combined FRC and junior FRC event. (Note that Mini R4 does not start due to homologation delays.)

Teemu Asunmaa won the SM1 class championship! It went down to the wire, before the last super special he was only five seconds ahead of Juha Salo, who would have won if they had switched places.
Finnish championship calendar for 2020:
Snow
1) 16.-18.1. Arctic Lapland Rally, Rovaniemi, Rovaniemen UA
2) 7.-8.2. SM Ralli Mikkeli (RSJM), Mikkelin UA
3) 28.-29.2. Itäralli, Joensuu (RSJM), Joensuun UA
Gravel
4) 12.-13.6. SM O.K-Auto Ralli, Kouvola (RSJM), Kouvolan Seudun Autourheilijat
5) 4.-5.9. SM Ralli, Oulu (RSJM), Ni-Ra Oy
6) 25.-26.9. Pohjanmaa SM-Ralli, Seinäjoki (RSJM), Pohjanmaaralli ry
Some minor changes, like Mikkeli returning after one season break as planned and Kouvola back to gravel. Seinäjoki is pushed further in the calendar and serves now as the season final in late September. Biggest change is a gravel event in Oulu, one could say a newcomer, it's been a while since FRC event in Oulu.
On regulations, which are still undecided, but R4 Kit should be there allowed for points (probably SM2?). Also, they are planning to ditch "old Civics class" (2000cc) and introduce V1600 class instead with FRC value. That is a class for almost road cars with minor changes, very much suitable for drivers in the beginning of their careers, affordable.
