  1. I was 12years old and lucky to have a test drive on that track with 1300cc MiniCooper. My partner in a car was the owner Matti Brännare who had flying record on that very same track. He was racing for Finnish championship with similar Cooper when accident happened. He flew in air 60-70meters before hitting ground and rolling over several times. Not injured seriously.
    That was the happiest day in my life since. I made several laps listening Matti’s instructions for fast driving lines. And fast was my drive. I felt like I racer career would begin there. But it was just a dream…

    1. Thanks for sharing such an amazing memory! Driving that track with Matti Brännare and learning from him sounds unforgettable. Even if the racing career stayed a dream, moments like that truly capture the passion of motorsport. Appreciate you sharing your story!
