Route

University town of JyvÃ¤skylÃ¤ is the hub of everything and Paviljonki service park in the centre draws huge crowds.
Classic smooth gravel stages among forests and lakes with massive jumps.
New-look itinerary begins on Thursday evening with a short, sharp leg north-east of JyvÃ¤skylÃ¤.
Friday is the longest day and heads-south-west, while Saturday includes big jumps over some of Finlandâ€™s most well-known stages.
Short Sunday loop features two passes over the classic RuuhimÃ¤ki test.

Challenge

A mix of hard, wide roads with narrower more technical sections.
Flat out from start to finish. It is affectionately known as the Finnish Grand Prix and eight of the 10 fastest WRC rallies have been here.
Pace notes must be perfect. Blind crests often hide corners and itâ€™s vital to position the car correctly before take-off to ensure maximum speed through the bend.
Speeds are so high that time differences are small and there is little opportunity to regain time after a mistake.
One of the hardest rallies for co-drivers as high speeds demand a constant, pinpoint accurate delivery of pace notes.
Mastering the jumps. If the speed is too high, the carâ€™s aerodynamics will force the back down and the front will rise. The tactic is to brake before take-off and accelerate full throttle over the jump.

Car spec

Gravel suspension.
Packed gravel roads mean soft compound tyres are the usual choice, but hard compound rubber is also available.
Super-smooth stages mean cars can be prepared in the knowledge that mechanical issues are rare.

History

Dates back to 1951 when it was launched as a means of deciding the Finnish entries for Rallye Monte-Carlo.
It took on the name 1000 Lakes Rally and was included in the calendar for the WRC in its first year in 1973.
It has been dominated by Finnish drivers who have won 52 of the 63 editions. Top of the roll of honour are Hannu Mikkola and Marcus GrÃ¶nholm with seven wins.

Whatâ€™s new for 2014

Event gains an extra day with a Sunday finish reintroduced.
Only four of 2013 stages remain.
Shorter version of famous Ouninpohja test to be used on Friday.
JyvÃ¤skylÃ¤ city centre mixed surface Harju test back on itinerary for the first time in 15 years.

Donâ€™t miss

Ouninpohja â€“ fast, full of sweeping bends and roller-coaster jumps and regarded as the WRCâ€™s ultimate test of skill and bravery. See one of the big jumps or go to the famous Kakaristo hairpin where the wide roads become narrow at a sharp right turn.
The party atmosphere. JyvÃ¤skylÃ¤ is the ultimate rally town and no visit would be complete without a night out in one of the many bars in the main street. Drinks are not cheap thoughâ€¦..

Praise for ‘player’ Meeke (MaxRally.com)

by Graham Lister / 1st August 2014

Kris Meeke is third after four stages of Rally Finland – and he’s impressed the two drivers ahead of him in the process.

Meeke is 9.2s behind leader Jari-Matti Latvala and 4.5s adrift of second-place Sebastien Ogier starting Friday’s nine stages.

“It’s been a good fight very close with Seb and also Kris has been doing really, really good times and a good performance here,” said Volkswagen driver Latvala.

Ogier added: “I have to push and I want to enjoy this race. It’s nice to have a close battle with Jari and now Kris is joining us.”

Citroen driver Meeke admitted he could go faster but was happy with his efforts on day one in Finland. “I was pushing to my comfortable limit,” he said. “Maybe if it was the last stage and you were 0.5 behind there would be something but I was really happy with my speed today and to be close to these guys. But it’s only day one of four and we have 22 more stages so it’s a long, long way to go.”

Meeke is predicting an “interesting” second day as the rally heads south of Jyvaskyla, firstly to the Pihlajakoski test, last sampled by WRC competitors in 1987, and then on to Paijala, the rally’s most southerly stage, which includes a previously unused section.

“Friday morning is going to be interesting because the first two stages are completely new and in Finland it always creates extra excitement when you have new pace notes on a new road,” said Meeke. “Normally everyone has so much experience knowing where to place the car but tomorrow morning is going to be quite tricky. Okay not so many crests and jumps like on the big stages but it’s going to be interesting.”

Friday’s action begins 0918 local time.

Latvala had a spot of trouble on the first day. Apparently didn't slow him down much, if at all, given he leads the rally after the first four stages.

Latvala sets early pace in Finland (WRC.com)

31 Jul 2014

Jari-Matti Latvala controlled Thursdayâ€™s (31 July) short opening leg of Neste Oil Rally Finland to build a 4.5sec overnight lead.

The Finn delighted his home fans by setting fastest time on three of the four special stages in a Volkswagen Polo R to head team-mate and FIA World Rally Championship leader SÃ©bastien Ogier.

Afternoon rain provided early starters Latvala and Ogier with the best of the grip, the soft gravel road surface deteriorating with the passage of more cars.

Latvala took full advantage to win the first two stages and share fastest time with Ogier in the next. The Frenchman ended the day by taking the honours in the spectacular JyvÃ¤skylÃ¤ street test.

Latvalaâ€™s only drama was on the last corner of the day when he ripped the front right wing from his Polo R. â€œThere was a chicane with a straw bale on the inside. I cut it too much and hit the bale, but it was nothing too serious,â€ said 29-year-old Latvala.

Kris Meeke is third, the Citroen DS3 pilot 9.2sec behind Latvala and the only other driver in contact with the leading duo. Mikko Hirvonen snatched fourth in his Ford Fiesta RS on the final stage, but he is already 26.4sec from the lead.

Juho HÃ¤nninen initially held fourth but the Finn lost 15sec in the badly rutted penultimate test and then dropped behind Hirvonen in the final stage. The gap between them is only 0.7sec, and the Polo R of Andreas Mikkelsen rounds off the top six.

Seventh is Mads Ostberg, but the Norwegian was unhappy with the handling of his DS3. He heads Thierry Neuville, the Belgian lacking confidence with his pace notes which proved too slow for the ultra-fast forest roads.

Robert Kubica and Hayden Paddon complete the top 10 after Henning Solberg slipped off the leaderboard when he punctured a front left tyre in the penultimate Lankamaa stage. Craig Breen suffered a similar problem in the test.

The only major retirement was Jarkko Nikara who crashed his Fiesta RS heavily in the penultimate stage.

Drivers restart tomorrow at 07.30 for two identical loops of four stages south-west of JyvÃ¤skylÃ¤, before a second pass through the city centre Harju street stage. More than half the 134.47km stage distance will be new. Itâ€™s a long day with drivers reaching the overnight halt at 21.45.

At the end of Day 2 I think even Kris Meeke is surprised by who is 2nd overall.

Latvala takes control at Rally Finland (WRC.com)

01 Aug 2014

A blistering Friday afternoon performance from Jari-Matti Latvala enabled him to stretch his advantage at the head of the Neste Oil Rally Finland leaderboard.

The Finn added less than four seconds to his overnight lead during this morning’s four special stages. But a hat-trick of stage wins this afternoon allowed him to build a 19.7sec lead in his Volkswagen Polo R at the end of the second leg of the four-day event.

“We pushed hard and took some really big risks. I felt relaxed and had a good feeling, and when I’m relaxed I normally do my best performance,” said Latvala, who survived an early morning scare when he dropped his car into a ditch.

The ultra-fast gravel roads suited Kris Meeke, who moved his Citroen DS3 into second, relegating world champion SÃ©bastien Ogier’s Polo R into third. The gap between them is 1.6sec.

The Northern Ireland driver showed his best pace to date for the French team and won a stage this morning. Stage opener Ogier took on an unwilling role as sweeper as the afternoon sun dried the roads, leaving a coating of loose surface gravel.

“It was a frustrating afternoon,” admitted the Frenchman. “But I’m still happy with what I’ve done and happy to finish my sweeping role.”

Andreas Mikkelsen, Mikko Hirvonen and Mads Ã˜stberg fought hard behind the leading trio. Hirvonen held the initiative for most of the day until a spin allowed Ã˜stberg, who became increasingly confident after overnight set-up changes, moved ahead.

But Mikkelsen leapfrogged them both to hold a 1.2sec advantage in his Polo R over the Norwegian’s DS3, with Hirvonen a further 1.9sec adrift in his Fiesta RS.

Hayden Paddon showed good pace with an oil-thirsty Hyundai i20 to hold seventh with Elfyn Evans (Fiesta RS), Juho HÃ¤nninen (Hyundai i20) and Craig Breen (Fiesta RS) completing the leaderboard.

HÃ¤nninen held fourth until he punctured and later rolled in SS6, losing a minute. Intermittent power steering problems hindered his recovery.

Thierry Neuville swiped the rear of his i20 against the scenery in the opening stage, ripping the rear wing from the car. He struggled on with no aero assistance but the impact damaged the roll cage and he retired from the rally at the mid-leg service.

Robert Kubica crashed 1.6km into the opening test and damaged the front left suspension on his Fiesta RS. Martin Prokop crashed his similar car this afternoon and Michal Solowow failed to leave the mid-leg service with a fluid leak in his engine.

Saturday’s penultimate leg offers another long day at the wheel. Drivers restart at 07.00 to tackle two identical loops of five stages covering 130.36km before the overnight halt at 21.51.

Wrong note to blame for Kubica off (MaxRally.com)

by Giles Wade / 1st August 2014

Robert Kubica says a faulty pace note caused his off on stage five of Rally Finland this morning.

Kubica was in ninth overall when he went off the road 1.6 kilometres from the stage start and damaged the front-left corner of his M-Sport Ford Fiesta in the process.

“On a quick section one and a half kilometres into the stage there was a wrong pace note,” Kubica explained. “It said ‘six-left-plus-long-over-crest’ so I went in at full throttle and high speed. Unfortunately one piece of information was missing - that it unloads the car – so it took off the road and I went too wide onto the grass. Nothing would have happened if there was a bit of a straight afterwards. Unfortunately the road went right, and we were deeply on the inside of the corner. We were thrown to the outside and we hit something with the left front. The car did a full spin in the air and we landed on the other side of the road. Luckily the damage wasn’t too severe, but it was too much to continue.”

Kubica added: “The biggest problem in that situation was an unloaded car because of the crest. I hadn't noticed that during recce; I only noticed when we were there at full speed. It is very difficult to foresee these things as I am not experienced enough to know for sure which crests will unload the car. But on the other hand If you want to drive with good pace it would be difficult to slow down before every sixth-gear corner because there are so many of them here.

With his car repaired, Kubica will restart on Saturday. “I regret all the mileage I lost today. Yesterday we were taking no risks and we were driving very well. Today, while doing the same, we finished far too early. Tomorrow we just have to continue with the same attitude.”

Ogier blamed his times and standing on having to do road sweeping duties. That ended yesterday. Today he made some progress but things didn't change as much as I'm sure he would have predicted.

Latvala holds lead after Finland drama (WRC.com)

02 Aug 2014

A defiant Jari-Matti Latvala ended Saturdayâ€™s penultimate leg of Rally Finland with a slender 3.4sec lead over team-mate SÃ©bastien Ogier following a dramatic finale to the day.

Five wins from six stages enabled Latvala to stretch his overnight lead from 19.7sec to a comfortable 31.1sec. But the Finn hit a hole across the road in the rutted second pass through JukojÃ¤rvi (SS20) and broke the front right brake caliper on his Polo R.

He drove the final three tests with just three brakes and championship leader Ogier, who earlier indicated it would be â€˜stupidâ€™ to try to catch Latvala, seized his chance. He was fastest through the final four stages to set up a thrilling sprint to the finish tomorrow.

â€œI had to hold on,â€ said Latvala. â€œIâ€™ve worked so hard and I didnâ€™t come here to lose this rally. Weâ€™ll get the car fixed in service and tomorrow weâ€™re in the fight for victory. I donâ€™t care so much about the world championship right now, this is about Rally Finland.â€

Ironically both Ogier and third-placed Kris Meeke hit the same hole as Latvala but escaped unscathed. Meeke started the day in second ahead of Ogier but refused to be drawn into a battle and ended 29.0sec behind after a troublefree day in his Citroen DS3.

â€œItâ€™s not nice what happened to Jari-Matti,â€ said Ogier. â€œI canâ€™t smile too much about the situation. I have a chance to win, but it came about by chance because Jari-Matti was doing a great job at the front.â€

Andreas Mikkelsen lay fourth in another Polo R, the Norwegian seeing off challenges from Mads Ã˜stberg and Mikko Hirvonen. Mikkelsen ended the day with no brakes while Hirvonen broke the front right shock absorber on his Ford Fiesta RS in JukojÃ¤rvi and lost time.

Hayden Paddon was sixth in a Hyundai i20, holding off team-mate Juho HÃ¤nninen by 28.8sec. Elfyn Evans was eighth, the Welshman frustrated at not being able to raise his speed this afternoon with Craig Breen and Henning Solberg completing the leaderboard.

Ã˜stberg was the only major retirement. He was withdrawn at the mid-leg service when FIA scrutineers discovered damage to his roll cage following a massive impact with a stone. The Citroen DS3 driver was fighting Andreas Mikkelsen for fourth at the time.

Tomorrowâ€™s final leg is the shortest. Drivers depart JyvÃ¤skylÃ¤ at 08.15 for three stages covering 36.60km. The tests are Finland classics with two passes through RuuhimÃ¤ki, the second of which is the live TV Power Stage, sandwiching MyhinpÃ¤Ã¤ before the 15.00 finish.

Fearless Latvala clinches Finland win (WRC.com)

03 Aug 2014

Finland celebrated on Sunday afternoon as Jari-Matti Latvala kept his nerve to claim a thrilling first home victory at the countryâ€™s FIA World Rally Championship encounter for four years.

Latvala dominated most of the four-day Neste Oil Rally Finland but a brake problem yesterday evening threw his win into doubt. However, he held off a determined charge from Volkswagen team-mate SÃ©bastien Ogier to win by 3.6sec.

Latvala, conscious of the lack of home success in a country where rallying is a national sport, said he was motivated to fend off Ogier by the support from his fans. He was embraced by father Jari after finishing the final RuuhimÃ¤ki special stage.

â€œIt was so hard to take this victory,â€ he said. â€œI had a fantastic feeling with the driving but when I had the brake problem yesterday I was in a difficult position. I was so close to losing the victory but I fought back. I was nervous today but managed to hold it together."

Latvala won 13 of the opening 19 stages to build a 31sec lead over the first three days but broke the front right brake caliper on his Polo R when he hit a large hole. Ogier, who had earlier conceded victory, seized his chance and slashed the margin to under four seconds.

But with the Finnâ€™s car restored to health today, Ogier had to settle for second. The Frenchman gained maximum bonus points by winning the live TV Power Stage and heads Latvala by 44 points in the title battle with five rounds remaining.

Kris Meeke drove perhaps the best rally of his career to take third in a Citroen DS3. It was the third podium of the season for the Northern Irishman.

â€œA podium is pretty special on the biggest rally of all. But weâ€™re still not near perfection yet. Jari-Matti was the epitome of perfection all weekend in how to drive a rally car on these roads. Until I get there and try to win this rally some day, weâ€™ll have to keep trying for perfection,â€ he said.

Andreas Mikkelsen retained third in the championship by finishing fourth in another Polo R but the Norwegian was more than a minute adrift of Meeke. Mikko Hirvonen finished fifth in a Fiesta RS after a frustrating weekend for the former winner.

Power steering problems today deprived Kiwi Hayden Paddon of sixth. He slipped behind both Hyundai team-mate Juho HÃ¤nninen, who bounced back from a second day roll, and Elfyn Evans. Henning Solberg and Karl Kruuda completed the leaderboard.

Craig Breen was todayâ€™s only major retirement. A heavy landing over a big jump in the first pass through RuuhimÃ¤ki left him with severe back pain and he withdrew.

Kruuda claimed WRC 2 victory while prize drive winner Teemu Suninen, wrc.comâ€™s pre-event One to Watch, took WRC 3 honours. Martin Koci won the JWRC category.

Rally Finland: This podium is more special, says Meeke (crash.net)

3 August 2014

Kris Meeke puts in a â€œsuperb performanceâ€ on Rally Finland and takes a â€œbig step forwardâ€ with third podium of year

Kris Meeke feels his podium on Rally Finland is even more special than those taken in Monte Carlo and Argentina earlier this year.

Meeke ran in the top-three throughout the four-days in Jyvaskyla, setting top-five times in every single test in his Citroen DS3 WRC car, including winning SS7 on Friday.

He also overhauled Sebastien Ogier and took second at the end of day two, and while he couldn't stay ahead of the 2013 World Rally Champion on Saturday, he was still very encouraged by the result and his pace.

â€œI'm delighted to be on the podium on one of the biggest events in the championship. I was on the podium in Monte Carlo and in Argentina, but this one feels more special â€“ it feels like I've earned it,â€ Meeke explained.

â€œI wasn't gifted this, we got it with good speed. Jari-Matta [Latvala - event winner], when he's on formâ€¦ we all know his speed. To be close to him, with my experience, I'm very, very happy.

â€œYesterday we were ahead of Seb after two days [too]. We held on in the morning [on Saturday], but when we dinked the front-right and got a big vibration, we lost three or four seconds to Seb and then he got back in front in Himos where we had a big moment and I lost another five seconds.

â€œAt that point, to think about catching another 10 seconds would have been a bit much for me. I came here wanting a strong, consistent weekend and we have done that â€“ that's the most important [thing].â€

â€œI only have a one-year contract,â€ he added, â€œand I need to finish to get the contract [renewed] for next year. In that position you never open yourself 100 per cent to the road, but I felt really free in the car and it was happening quite simply.

â€œI was chatting to Jari on the road section and he said if you try hard on these stages, the time disappears; you have to rely on the feeling and letting that feeling come to you. Even today we were able to let it come to us, even though we weren't defending third place. This gives us good confidence going into the second half of the season.â€

Meeke's co-driver Paul Nagle meanwhile believes they have taken a â€œbig step forwardâ€.

â€œIn Monte Carlo, it was a difficult rally. We weren't flat out and we needed to be clever and drive on our own pace,â€ he continued. â€œIn Argentina we were in a good position after day one and after that we had to drive very slowly for the next two days.

â€œHere, from the first corner, we were on the pace and then we were second or third fastest â€“ I think it was only two times that we were out of the top three. And we were able to continue all weekend. It's a great satisfaction to get close to these boys. It's building.

â€œOkay, there was a blip in Portugal, but this has been coming even since Mexico, Sardinia and Poland. It takes time, it's not going to happen overnight. This is a big step forward this weekend.â€

Citroen deputy team principal Marek Nawarecki was also very pleased with Meeke's form: â€œKris produced a superb performance, combining consistency an speed. He managed to make the most of the experience acquired in 2013 and the pre-rally testing,â€ he noted.

The in-car video from the final day actually looks quick - and when it looks quick on bigger Finnish tracks/roads, I think it is actually blindingly quick.

Meeke was good, and surprisingly modest after day two saying that he couldn't expect to take time on Ogier. Like a good team player, he didn't blame a machinery difference!

British TV coverage had plenty of in-car from Meeke displaying an amazing amount of detail from his navigator Paul Nagle. Some terms were interesting - as well as "don't cut, he occasionally used "very don't cut". Best of all was "don't be brave".....
