In the streets he knows very well, Takamoto Katsuta pocketed his first scratch of the Rally de Finlande sur la super-spéciale d’Harju. Sur le petit parcours de seulement 2 kilomètres, le Japonais, installé dans la ville de Jyväskylä, a été le plus rapide avec un chrono de 1’33″5. Le pilote Toyota devance d’un rien les deux Hyundai de Thierry Neuville et Ott Tänak, who set the same time a tenth behind Katsuta.

The runner-up overall Esapekka Lappi (5th, +0″9) dropped a few tenths against the Estonian but is still very close overall with only 6″2 behind. No change to note in the top 10 after this very short special. Adrien fourmaux had all the difficulties in the world to finish this first part of the day, still without power steering. The Frenchman, out of breath from the effort, lost another 20 seconds on this SS6.
