Rally Finland: Stobart VK M-Sport Ford WRC
Stobart VK M-Sport Ford driver Henning Solberg is occupying a strong position at the end of Day 1 of Neste Oil Rally Finland, the ninth round of the FIA World Rally Championship, moving up to sixth place after ten stages of fast-paced action around the Finnish lakes and forests. Team mate Matthew Wilson, meanwhile, is also well-placed to move into a points-scoring position, lying in tenth place overnight and locked in a battle with Citroen Junior driver Sebastien Ogier who is just 3.5 seconds ahead of the young Brit.
After the traditional opening Super Special Stage at the Killeri trotting track last night, 90 crews headed north-west of the Rally HQ in Jyväskylä to take on two passes of a four-stage loop over the famed Finnish forest roads. Ultra high-speeds tested the drivers’ bravery as well as their skill, and the throngs of fans out on the stages were thrilled by the spectacular jumps.
