Flying Finn: Juha Kankkunen

One of the many Flying Finns, although Juha was one with a true character. Succesful from Group B up until the World Rally Cars. 23 outright victories and a 4-time World Rally Champion. No need to say more.

This is a trully great video about a great driver. Juha was the one of the best on the world. No, He is the best forever. That carrier what He made and those fantastic victories, his driving style, those were the spirit of the WRC at that time and forever.

I have huge respect for Kankkunen, he won in everything from rear wheel drive escorts, Group B monsters, Group A and was still giving the younsters a run for their money in the Impreza WRC in 1999.

Juha Is my uncle, and well. He's awesome.

He is the rallydriver! He not only got the willpower and talent to win championships, he was able to win them! Many other great drivers has the power and ability to doing the same as Juha did, but they ever can reply his performance! Juha was several times on the floor,but He always stood up and went back to fight for the victory! He never lost his hope and always trusted in himself! Other drivers just cant do this! WRC=Juha Kankkunen!

@rendezvous65 Right! But for me he was smarter with his moustache :-)

[mustatiikeri]

For me Juha will always remain the best of the best. He won 4 titles when the competition was much harder than today. Successfully drove many different types of cars.. When I was child I lived a couple of km from his place and enjoyed watching him testing his rwd Celica just a stone's throw from my doorstep. He was my hero and it is because of him that still today I'm dying to get a gt-four celica. :)
