The WRC heads to Finland for round nine of the championship, two weeks after the conclusion of Rally Estonia and it is another fast gravel rally.

Last time out, Oliver Solberg stunned the service park in Estonia with his commanding win in his Rally1 Toyota Yaris, but there was a championship lead change in the drivers standings. 

Ott Tanak’s second-placed finish for Hyundai meant the Estonian moved into the championship lead ahead of Toyota’s Elfyn Evans who had led since Sweden, in February. 

As such, it means Tanak will open up the road in Finland followed by his championship rival. 

It is expected to be a mixed bag in terms of weather, according to the BBC. So, what is the weather expected to be like in Jyväskylä, Finland?
