Is Ouninpohja really as good as they say it is? It certainly left an impression on one DirtFish reporter

I do often think it’s amazing how context transforms everything.
In reality, it’s just an uphill section of road that goes past a house painted yellow. So why could I not get out of the car quick enough just to be there?
The knowledge that Markko Märtin once sent it over my head, where I’m currently standing, is the reason. It’s moments like this where you really start to ask yourself: ‘How is this work?’
Sadly, I have to confess to you that I’m a contrarian. In that sense, Rally Finland should not have been for me – and indeed I approached the whole trip with a degree of trepidation.
What if it’s not as I hope it’ll be? How can it really be that special? Let’s not set my expectations too high in case I end up disappointed…
