Wheelbase: The Flying Finns

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

Gordon Wilkins covers the world of motoring.

The Rally of 1,000 Lakes ended last Sunday in Finland, a country which produces some of the best rally drivers in the world. What explains the success of rally winners like Aaltonen and Makinen? Why are the forests and lakes of Finland an outstanding proving ground for competitors and cars?
Stuart Turner, the competition manager who first paired Finnish drivers with English navigators in the world-beating B.M.C. Mini-Cooper team, looks at some of the answers along the 1,000-mile route of this international rally which the Finns have made their own.
