Words by Tom Fowler

Wow. I’m not really sure there’s a better way to start this Club DirtFish column.

Just wow. That result from Rally Finland is something incredible, one I’m really happy and very proud of for the whole team. The top five is something, I understand, has only been done once before. Amazing.

I think it’s fair to say it was a pretty amazing rally for all of our crews, but especially for Kalle [Rovanperä] and Jonne [Halttunen]. This was something special for them – especially after those words from Kalle at the end of Estonia. Were we concerned after that rally?

Yes.
