Three Citroen C3 WRCs tackle Rally Finland
27 Jul 2017|1,536 views
The World Rally Championship (WRC) bandwagon heads north for a midsummer's adventure over the famous jumps of Rally Finland from 27th to 30th July. Citroen Total Abu Dhabi WRT has entered three C3 WRCs in the 'land of a thousand lakes' for Kris Meeke/Paul Nagle, Craig Breen/Scott Martin and Khalid Al Qassimi/Chris Patterson.
Rally Finland is held on gravel roads normally used by the inhabitants of the Jyvaskyla region. Winding through the forests, the fast, wide tracks flow over the surrounding hills, making for what initially appear to be gently rising and falling roads, but when the World Rally Cars come racing past at full speed, they fly through the air over tens of metres. Hundreds of thousands of fans flock to the event, delighted to witness this fascinating sight.
The itinerary of the 2017 rally will be relatively similar to the ones used in previous years. Following a short stage on Thursday evening, the competitors will tackle a monster of a leg on Friday, contesting 12 stages in 15 hours. Saturday's schedule is almost as packed, with eight stages, including runs on the brand new Pihlajakoski stage and the iconic Ouninpohja. The rally concludes on Sunday with a sprint-like final leg featuring four short speed tests, including the Power Stage.
