WRC 2023: Secto Rally Finland

The 2023 World Rally Championship continues with the Secto Rally Finland, situated in the city of Jyväskylä, where the drivers are surviving through the odds in a middle of a gloomy Scandinavian outlook.

As Kalle Rovanpera delivered promising results in the shakedown, Ott Tanak made an early surge through the opening stages until power loss ended his hopes for a victory defense while Esapekka Lappi crashed in the climax of the opener. With two unhopeful drivers left behind, not to mention the crumbling end of Lappi as he crashes out at Myhinpaa, Elfyn Evans stormed his way to the lead and stays that way.

In the end, Elfyn Evans wins the Secto Rally Finland at the rate of 2:33:11.3, 39.1 seconds ahead of Thierry Neuville while Takamoto Katsuta finished 3rd.

The next event is the EKO Acropolis Rally Greece this September 7-10.
