The Suzuki Swift has claimed its first one-two on a Junior World Championship rally thanks to Guy Wilks and P-G Andersson! In total, the Swift set 15 fastest times out of 21 stages - on the quickest and most exhilarating stages that the World Championship has to offer! P-G now leads the Junior World Rally Championship, while Guy moves up to third place. Both Suzuki drivers are now in a strong position to capitalise on their excellent results on the last two rounds of the championship, in Turkey and Great Britain...

Guy Wilks (1st in JWRC after SS21):
"Fantastic! I'm absolutely delighted with this result, although today has been quite nerve-wracking! I concentrated on getting the car safely to the finish after what has been a very tough and very fast rally. We've had no mechanical issues at all, and I'd like to thank everybody at Suzuki for building a car that is reliable as it is quick. We've got the momentum behind us now, so we need to focus on doing another equally good job on the next two rounds of the championship. I'm sure we have the capability to do it."

P-G Andersson (2nd in JWRC after SS21):
"Finland is a really special event: three days of flat-out driving on stages that are so exciting for both drivers and spectators. This year was really difficult because of the rain on the first day and the really rough conditions throughout all three days. We lost a bit of time with punctures, but I'm very happy with second place as it allows us to take the lead of the championship again. There's everything to play for now - I can't wait!”


Nobuhiro'Monster' Tajima, team principal:
"I am very happy with this result - congratulations to Guy, P-G and the entire team. This is as good as it gets! Rally Finland requires good balance from the car and total commitment from the drivers. Both these things have made our one-two result possible for everybody to see. I would like to thank everybody who has supported us so far - we are going to be doing our best to continue this progress over the next two rounds. We will see you there!"
