28.2.2021 – Janne Tuohino retired Arctic Rally Finland due medical reasons

First-ever WRC Arctic Rally Finland was difficult for our driver Janne Tuohino and co-driver Reeta Hämäläinen. Their problems started in shakedown when they made a small mistake and dived into snowbank.

Even during the rally they could improve their pace, it wasn’t enough to match for their fellow competitors.

Eventually their journey came to and unexpected end when in front of their apartment Tuohino fell down on slippery surface and dislocated his shoulder. Therefore JanPro Racing drivers were forced to retire the event due medical reasons.
