A major F1 Finn-Fest

The Arctic Lapland Rally, which takes place next weekend around the city of Rovaniemi, will see a battle not just between Kimi Raikkonen and Mika Hakkinen, but the two World Champions will be joined by two other of Finland's best known F1 names: Mika Salo and JJ Lehto.

Raikkonen will drive a Fiat Grande Punto, while the other three men will all driver Mitsubishi Lancers.

The rally, which dates back to 1966, has been won by many of the great rally stars over the years, including Marcus Gronholm, Tommi Makinen, Hannu Mikkola, Timo Salonen, Henri Toivonen, Leo Kinnunen, Simo Lampinen and Ari Vatanen.
