SKIN - Teemu Suninen / Mikko Markkula - VW Polo R5 - Secto Rally Finland 2021

2021 was a year of highs and lows for Teemu Suninen. Starting off with a SS1 crash in Monte Carlo started a snowball effect which gradually led to him being replaced by Adrien Fourmaux at M-Sport's WRC roster. Undeniable highlight of the year was his home rally, the newly rebranded Secto Rally Finland. He entered the rally with Printsport's Polo R5 with the backing of a Finnish businessman Markku Rautio.  He well and truly delivered a brilliant performance, winning WRC2 comfortably over the competitors like Mads Östberg, Emil Lindholm and Nikolay Gryazin.  In the pictures here you see him on SS1, resulting in 7th best time in WRC2, 1.56,0. Differently to the usual schedule, the Harju stage was driven in the middle of the day on Friday and at night time on Saturday evening.  This result launched him into getting a seat at Hyundai's WRC2 team, and even getting into the WRC car for Rally Monza due to Ott's absence.

SKIN - Nico Valkonen - Secto Rally Finland 2021 Vetomies - VW Golf MK2

Hello all! This time I created the skin of a promising Finnish rally driver, Nico Valkonen at his request.  He started the rally with a fantastic stage time on SS1 Kakaristo-Hassi, being 4th fastest in the overall Vetomies competition and fastest 2WD car by a whole 15 seconds. Sit down and enjoy the whole stage onboard on his youtube channel:  Unfortunately their rally ended already on the next stage with gearbox problems.  This blog post is also showcasing some of the best scenery from the new "Hassi" BTB stage created by the talented TangoTeam.

SKIN - Emil Lindholm / Mikael Korhonen - Neste Rally Finland 2019 - VW Polo GTI R5

The son of a Finnish rallying legend Sebastian Lindholm, Emil drove a VW Polo R5 for most of the 2019 season. Here is his skin from Rally Finland, his 5th WRC event.  He was the fastest R5 runner in the Friday opening stage but hit trouble after damaging a wheel on SS Moksi so his rally was ruined. He continued the rally on Saturday and was impressively fast, being the fastest WRC2 driver on most of the stages.  Here's some pictures of him on the rally opener SS1 Harju where he was 3rd fastest in RC2 class with a time of 1.54,0. < < < DOWNLOAD > > > UPDATED in May 2023 to v2 +better wheel, rims and front grille textures, updated shader files
