19 year old Juuso Nordgren won AKK's Star of the Future prize drive for Rally Finland. He will be entered for the event in WRC3 DS3 R3T.

This prize was awarded to under 25 year old drivers doing best in Finnish Championship in R2 cars after 4/6 events. Best three were chosen to selection after Saturday's event. Nordgren, as last season's junior champion and known fast driver, were the fan favourite and obvious choice anyway. He will now step into the path of Teemu Suninen ja Jari Huttunen, the previous two Stars of the Future. Hopefully Juuso will grab this enourmous chance!

Finnish TV station YLE drives through NRF 2016 SS7 Äänekoski-Valtra stage with Riku Tahko. (Can be seen in Sweden at least)
Such a demanding stage. Looks very fast and tricky!

Oi oi oi that will be a FAST stage that's for sure..
I wonder how they arranged such beautiful weather?

(and i wonder how people who live on these roads resist the urge to go "maximum attack" on these roads?..I have a scenario in my head that Pekka and Erja arrive home from shopping 40km away, and when they are unloading groceries Erja discovers that Pekka "forgot" to get kex or godis so Pekka "No problem, I'll drive back and get some"..........1 Hour later Pekka is back, and sweating and smiling with stupid grin... Erja has discovered that Pekka forgot coffee "Oi va dum! I'm sooooo forgetful...Don't worry I'll be right back!"
And out he goes, another 40km---full gas...sideways!

This could go on for days..
How do ordinary humans resist the urge?
