Rally Finland

video

A very late update, but still: Went to Finland in July to Neste Oil Rally Finland 2010 with the Swedish-based company RallyTravels. Being as close to a charter trip tailor-made for the WRC circus it was a hilarious experience, and proved to be ethnographically richer about the spectators than I expected. Above you'll find a small clip of seven times world champion, Sebastien Loeb, in his Citroën C4 WRC at Himos 2, the final stage of the rally and right next to where we camped.

I also wanted to show you our lunch (!) before it all went revving on Himos 2. It was called a rally plate (rallyplatta) and contained pretty much everything. But it was really good!
