Legendary Finland stage rejoins WRC after seven-year hiatus
The gravel rally hosting the ninth round of the championship from 1-4 August announced a significantly revised itinerary, with 61% of the route altered compared to last year and 12% of it entirely new to Rally Finland. The return of the famous Ouninpohja stage, known for its high-speed jumps and challenging corners after three years, stands out as a major change this year, now in a 33-kilometre ‘long’ format but in reverse. Spectators can anticipate its legendary elements with two passes on Saturday’s leg. With 305 kilometres of timed stages in the city of Jyvaskyla, organizers aim for a blend of tradition and innovation, promising an exceptional route based on feedback for an engaging and sustainable experience. The event promises a thrilling experience, balancing old favorites and fresh roads, keeping sustainability and community at the forefront of its planning.
