#1000LakesRally

The Rally Finland, originally known as the 1000 Lakes Rally (Jyväskylän Suurajot), is one of the most iconic events in the World Rally Championship (WRC). First held in 1951, it takes place on the fast, gravel roads of central Finland, with Jyväskylä serving as its traditional hub. The rally is famous for its high-speed gravel stages, featuring wide, smooth, and undulating forest roads that allow for some of the highest average speeds in the WRC. It is also renowned for its massive jumps, particularly in the legendary Ouninpohja stage, where cars can leap over 50 meters. Known as the "Grand Prix of Rallying," it demands exceptional skill and precise pacenotes due to its extreme speeds and frequent jumps. Finnish drivers have historically dominated the event, mastering the terrain with their unique driving techniques. Legendary figures such as Markku Alén, Juha Kankkunen, Tommi Mäkinen, Marcus Grönholm, and Sébastien Loeb have all secured victories here, cementing its status as one of the most prestigious rallies in motorsport. Today, Rally Finland remains a highlight of the WRC calendar, attracting massive crowds and maintaining its reputation as one of the most thrilling and demanding rallies in the world.
