What this event is about
Secto Rally Finland, starting as the Jyväskylä Grand Prix in 1951, joined the WRC in 1973. Known as the "1000 Lakes Rally," its wide, smooth gravel roads with blind crests and jumps make it the fastest in the series. Based in Jyväskylä, it demands precision and bravery, with average speeds over 120 km/h. Nordic drivers dominate, but non-Scandinavians like Sébastien Ogier have broken through. Its history includes endurance origins and innovations like the Olympic Stadium super special. Sustainability and massive crowds underscore its iconic status in rallying.
