The Finns are known for a couple of things. From their war with the Russians to a certain brand of vodka they are known as hard people. However, the thing that made them famous the most must be rally drivers.
People like Marcus Gronholm, Tommi Makinen and Juha Kankkunen are just a few of the famous rally drivers that impressed in the World Rally Championship. Going even further back you'll find Hannu Mikkola, a legend amongst the living, the man that drove the Audi Quattro A1/A2 in the 1983 season to the number one spot in the championship.
Well, a man like him can't stay away from cars and racing, so he agreed to take up a challenge offered by the guys from the Tuulilasi YouTube channel. They wanted to see if a random driver could be as fast as the rally legend on an improvised track. There are a couple of tricks involved though.
First of all, the made-up track was setup on a frozen lake, in the snow. Second, Hannu had his right hand tied up and was allowed to use only his left foot. Thankfully, the car was a Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG 4Matic that comes with a 7-speed automatic gearbox that only needs one foot to be operated.
