    Yeah, it was only Finnish car manufacturers, teams, film crews and spectators. And FISA didn't care either, so it was just a national event.

    Seriously, most of the top drivers back then were Scandinavians. Röhrl never dared to try Finland, whereas Mouton rolled her Audi a couple of times. Saby got through the rally in a Renault 5 Turbo in 1984, but it was not a competitive car on gravel.
