Young Finn Tokee joins ERC Junior ranks in the Azores
Promising young Finnish driver Joonas Tokee makes his debut in the ERC Junior Championship on this week's Azores Airlines Rallye.
The 21-year-old, who finished second in the R2 class in the Finnish championship last year, is hopeful that he can compete for a class podium in the Azores, despite the challenge posed by the São Miguel stages. Co-driver Jani Salo does have experience on the island though, after a one-off appearance two years ago.
"This is my debut in ERC Junior, so I'm very excited," said Tokee. "It is awesome that we have possibility to take part in this championship. I think that we will enjoy every second. I have also a lot to learn, but I will do my best in every event.
"I don't know a lot of about the Azores Rallye, but my co-driver has given me some information, because he was here in 2014. I have heard that roads are very challenging and it is quite easy to make mistakes. Also, the road surface is very different to my home country. I have also heard how fantastic the atmosphere is. Of course I want to show my strengths, and try to fight for a podium. If everything goes as we have planned, I think it could be possible!"
