Quick selective points:

* Testing 5 days in total, 3 days of driving, 1 day of physical tests
* Driving were done Renault Rally3 and Toyota Rally2 cars, total around 50km
* He knew the decision from the end of August
* Next season is a "training season.", but the contract is just one season.
* Juho Hänninen is his mentor/teacher
* Starts with the Finnish championship with a Rally2 car
* The focus is on testing, training, and small rallies. The "result" is measured by "development speed."
* Has experience in a mechanic role in the Monaretto team and in the Red-Grey team.
* He is in his last year in gymnasium.
* Struggled with Lancia Rally4 on gravel
Really reasonable conversation by an 18-year-old.
Based on this interview, my huge respect for his parents, especially for his father. That is a good example of good parenting.

First novelty: extended side wing supports to prevent external airflow from entering under the wing, pressure is reduced & the wing is more effective...

Believe me, it will cost way more as it is capped at. That's why no one stand in line for those cars and everyone stands in line for Rally2 cars. I don't like it either, but the reality sucks. FIA...
