Finland Rally from today

CHENNAI: The three-day Neste Oil-Finland Rally, the ninth round of the World Rally Championship, will begin in Jyvaskyla, Central Finland, on Friday.

The stages in the Finland Rally are very tricky. Most of the roads are blind and very difficult.

As Team Sidvin driver Naren Kumar said, “It’s a very challenging event, in fact, the most challenging event in the whole calendar. We are looking forward to building some confidence with the stages and the car.” — Principal Correspondent
