They talk about the development of the sport and what drew drivers to risk their lives on the dangerous street tracks of the past decades.

Finland's top season in the top series of track motorcycling was in the early 1970s. At that time, our drivers were the absolute top of the sport, and RR was internationally the number one sport in Finnish motorsport. Another strong period for Finns came in the 2000s, when the Finnish team rose to a significant position in the Grand Prix series. Also on the driver's side, the blue cross flag went up several times to celebrate the victory.
