The Rally Finland Program

After the Arctic last February, Finland welcomes this weekend (October 1st to 3rd) again the entire contingent of the WRC for the traditional Rally from Finland. A round which will be very different since the Nordic event will not be contested during the summer but in autumn, where the temperatures are cooler.

At home, the Toyota Gazoo Racing is the big favorite for this Rally Finland. With Kalle Rovanperä, winner of the final round in Greece, Elfyn Evans, Takamoto Katsuta, Esapekka Lappi and of course Sébastien Ogier, the TGR arrives in force to win the Finnish entry and thus take a big step forward towards the Drivers' and Manufacturers' titles.

Although only 287,11 km long (plus 4,04 km of Shakedown), this 2021 Rally Finland will be very intense since it will take place over three days and not four. The action begins on Friday with the Shakedown followed by two loops of three stages. Saturday will be the busiest of the weekend with 151,95 km timed and a first start at 7:16 a.m. (French time). The 10th round of the season will end with four stages including the traditional Power Stage on Sunday.
