Jyvaskyla (Finland): Sanjay Takale finished classified 14th overall in the WRC 3 category of the Neste Rally Finland on Sunday.

Pune-based Takale and British co-driver Darren Garrod survived the 23 Special Stages over a total of 317.26km, rated amongst the fastest in the WRC calendar, to bring their Baltic Motorsports Promotion-prepared two-wheel drive Ford Fiesta home.

Looking back on the four-day event which concluded on Sunday, Takale said: “Like any rally driver, I also dreamt of participating in and finishing a FIA World Rally Championship event. So, it was a dream come true for me to compete in and finish the fastest WRC event on our planet.”
