The simple answer is NO!! It's 2024 and the sport can't let go of the Finnish obsession......Another reason the sport is never going to be big; even countries with motorsport history can't supply drivers to the WRC. We've seen countless Finns get opportunities, even when they didn't deserve them - whereas other drivers never get a sniff. The passport is still a major obstacle in the sport - and the Finns look out for each other, so there'll always be chances for a seat.

Imagine the WRC without a Finn.....that would tell you the sport was in a strong place.......
