Aug 2 : Toyota's Sami Pajari secured a home win in Finland on Sunday for his second successive World Rally Championship victory.
Two weeks after a breakthrough first career WRC win in Estonia, Pajari and co-driver Marko Salminen finished 26.7 seconds ahead of teammate Oliver Solberg, who was the joint top Sunday scorer with nine points from the final day.
It was also the 200th WRC win by a Finnish driver, coming in the 75th edition of an event that started out as the 1,000 Lakes Rally in 1951.
"It was a big thing to take the win in Estonia, but a home win is always something special," said Pajari, who inherited the lead on Saturday when teammate and reigning world champion Sebastien Ogier crashed out while comfortably ahead.
