[WRC] 70th Rally Finland 2021

Back from Finland too. Amazing weather, amazing scenery, amazing rally... Really happy to have seen this place in autumn for once. Maybe thanks to the dry weather, but the characteristics of the rally itself didn't really change in comparison to summer. Seen many amazing places, this rally never bores anyone, everytime you think you've seen it all, some other magic spot is right around the corner. The saturday stages remain the most interesting, by far, for me. Both Arvaja and Patajoki were nice additions. Sunday could use some change after 4 identical years (Myhinpaa will probably not be too fast anymore with next generation@ cars, if anyone needs a hint).

As facebook is down I don't have a place to upload an album yet. I took the opportunity to upload some photos from one spot on Kakaristo that had been on the back of my mind for years. Now it was more accessible as the "classic" Ouninpohja road wasn't used. It's on the narrow "rollercoaster" road that starts after the "fake" jump. IMO this is one of the craziest sections in the whole WRC. The situation on photo is a fast left hander that ends in a small jump after which the road turns right a little. It was crazy to see how different the approach from all drivers was, Breen looked by far fastest on this spot.
