Was this a correct choice, you that know him better?
well, maybe this now opens your picture now more.

He has done now 3 starts at Finnish championship.

At first rally, Ralli Mikkeli - first rally and stage EVER with a 4wd machine and finishes just 3.1 seconds off stage winner Lappi. Crashed on next stage by going wide and ripping off a wheel, but still, what a debut stage time.

Second rally, Arctic Lapland Rally - took it more safe after that fast ending for the first rally, you could see it from the stage times by being 10th on first stage and then picking up the pace. Finished all the stages in top 8 and in the end was 7th in overall and beating other Estonian and last years Finnish champion Patrick Enok by one minute. Competing with the names like Lappi, Korhonen, Heikkilä, Kauppinen, Joona who all have much more experience.

This weekend was the third rally, Riihimäki rally - not as strong competition as on previous rallies but still, Lappi and Joona present. Finishes ALL stages in TOP2 and winning two stages, including the last 22km stage by beating Lappi there with 5 seconds and finishing just 3.7 seconds behind winner Lappi in overall standings.

Toyota took him for a reason, he beat the hell of out other candidates according to Latvala and im pretty sure he will beat Lappi already this year at some round.

Im telling you guys, we have found our next Tänak and the last time i was so excited about a talent was with Tänak.
