Finnish superstars Marcus Gronholm and Kimi Raikkonen (pictured) both suffered serious setbacks on the sixth stage of Rally Sweden on Friday, with Gronholm losing 12 minutes because of a technical problem and Raikkonen getting stuck in a snow bank for 25 minutes.
The Finnish rally drivers are blindingly quick in slippery conditions but when they go off the road, they do it in style.
Here's an old but good video about the Flying Finns. It's made from greatest hits from national Finnish rally and rally sprint events from around 1996-2000. Credits to the providers of the original video footage.
