About: Neste Oil Rally Finland is one of the most prestigious events on the entire WRC calendar. Regarded by many as 'the spiritual home of rally' it's a fast gravel affair, with high-speed runs along tree-lined tracks. Based in the bustling student town of Jyvaskyla, in the lake district area in the centre of the country.

Known affectionately as the Finnish Grand Prix, the rally turns the city into a motorsport Mecca on the first weekend of August, as fans converge in their tens of thousands to savour the dramatic action and lap up the party atmosphere. Few non-Finns have triumphed on the event due to the specialist nature of the stages and their endless series of twists, corners and jumps. When multiple world champion Sebastien Loeb won the event for his first time in 2008, he said had never taken such huge risks to defeat Mikko Hirvonen and revealed prior to the 2010 rally that he would never do so again.
