 This is probably one of the greatest comeback drives in the history of rallying. In my opinion it highlighted Hannu's never give up attitude so I had no choice but to recreate the livery.  In the 1983 Rally Finland Hannu had more than enough issues throughout the event. He broke the front diff and gearbox on the first stage, and because those took so long to repair, he was late from a time control point.

Way better than Juuso's rally in 2004 at least. Lasse and Pentti drove through the rally racking up multiple top 10 times. Lasse even won one stage in the rally. His first in his history of Rally Finland. Also on the route Lasse took one jump a bit too fast and it broke his seat's backrest. He described he had to hold on to...
