As far as known it's been sold to a private owner now. Buildings in the area (hangars, houses, ...) might not be in top condition, so in that sense building new ones right for the purpose of the team makes sense. Biggest benefits comes from the area. They would have kilometres of narrow and wider gravel roads in use for testing. Some are even within fenced area. Some could be surfaced with tarmac. There's a working airfield. If they need big cargo, fine. If they need a bit of tarmac testing, why not. If they need to use bigger and faster gravel roads, they're available in the area. Almost all of Rally Finland pre-event testing takes place within 60 km radius from that base. Halli itself is a town small like a fly's shit, but it's one hour drive from Tampere-Pirkkala airport. Also one hour drive to Jyväskylä and less than one hour drive to downtown Tampere, which is the biggest inland city in Nordic countries.

    I see some benefits for myself too. My parents-in-law live two kilometres from that former military base...
    Very nice. It would be a perfect solution.

    Hopefully very rich so they can buy seats for many many talentless finnish lapdogs to irritate you.
