What a trip. An absolutely incredible event in Poland, Polski Rajd Legend / Poland Rally Legend and even crazier that we were invited to be part of it.

I hope we were able to give the rally fans an unforgettable experience out on the stages and for the people we met in service. I don’t know how many people there were, but there were A LOT of them.

A huge thank you to Hannu for the great work in the co-driver’s seat, and to my amazing team who always managed to get the car back into shape whenever I broke it. 😅

In the end, we had a rear axle bearing failure and had to retire after SS8. We were really disappointed that we wouldn’t make it to the finish ceremony. But then the rally organisers asked us: if the car can be driven, they would wait for us at the ceremony.

Well, the car could be driven carefully — and it was absolutely worth going. The rally fans in Poland are simply incredible. ❤️

Thank you to my family for making all of this possible, and to everyone who supports us and helps make this possible. This is definitely not something you can do alone.

Thank you, Frank Kelly, for trying to help us get back on the road and continue.

The list is long, because this really cannot be done alone.

Thank you:

Päivän ensimmäiset kolme pätkää ajettu ja huollossa käyty. Meillä on pientä ongelmaa voimansiirron kanssa joten aivan 100 showta ei varmasti pystytä antamaan 😔

Seremonial start on takana, aivan älytön määrä ihmisiä katsomassa ja tunnelma katossa. Tätä on Polski Rajd Legend / Poland Rally Legend joka on ”vain kilpailu muiden joukossa” 😉
