Lappi has been awesome this season. Definitely deserved.

It also says that Suninen will drive a Polo R5. That's a serious disappointment after the hype of last two days.

Entry will close at midnight, entrylist should be out on Friday.

Lappi entry seems to be with his own sponsors (colors) just like Grönholm and JML were in Sweden.
Rumour says that RENT deal was made in April, so it´s privately funded not "TGR entry"

Clearly much more logical to put the 5th car for Lappi.
He was the top contender for the seat next year and it was a good opportunity to give him a WRC rallye to avoid losing habits at this level.

I’m waiting to see what he can do

What is said above about the fact that it is a rental agreement may explain why he does few rallies in the rest of the year (saving money for this opportunity)

TOP3 would be a huge achievement...dont get me wrong, i dont doubt his capabilities and talent but its just the fact that the others have been in the car all season long while he hasnt.

And he hasnt driven with the Toyota for 3 years now basically.

we will see.

It's been really up and down for him in Finland.
Only win in Yaris(2017) and 2nd in C3 (2019)...but also crashing out of 4th as slowest Yaris when Tanak in same car dominated in 2018.

The obvious goal has to be to defeat Ogier, Evans and Neuville who all have bad startpositions and don't have very good results in Finland.

It would be great to see Lappi driving Yaris and not a surprise at all. Hard and almost impossible to beat Rovanperä and Tänak in Finland. A podium is possible, but also Breen is there. Evans, Ogier, Neuville and Katsuta will be behind and of course M-Sport drivers. But it will be a tight fight with Greensmith, Fourmaux and Suninen if he is driving Polo R5...
