Two-time World Rally Champions and reigning Secto Rally Finland winners Kalle Rovanperä and Jonne Halttunen will reunite in a rally car during the 75th anniversary edition of Rally Finland. The pair will complete a demonstration run on the SS1 Harju stage on Thursday, 30 July, in Jonne Halttunen’s Toyota Corolla GT AE86.
As usual, Rovanperä will be behind the wheel, with Halttunen alongside him as co-driver. Their run will begin at Harju at 18:15, ahead of the WRC stage, which starts at 19:05.
Rovanperä and Halttunen won the World Rally Championship in 2022 and 2023. With his first title, Rovanperä became the youngest World Rally Champion in the history of the WRC at the age of 22. In 2025, the pair also claimed their first Secto Rally Finland victory together.
Thursday’s run will give spectators the opportunity to see Rovanperä and Halttunen together again at Harju, this time in a classic rear-wheel-drive Toyota Corolla GT AE86.
Halttunen will also drive the same car at Harju on Friday, 31 July, at 18:05. The car is part of his Jorma J team’s activities, which are also being followed in a television series “From co-driver to driver” on MTV3 and Katsomo. The series follows Jonne Halttunens season as a driver on regional rally series.
