Sami Soukas takes Finnish Open E-Buggy Championship

The final round of the Finnish Open Electric Buggy Championship was held at the Lavanko Raceway. The event started on a moist track and it was Ari Koski who made the best out of the conditions with Sami Soukas coming in 2nd after the practice rounds. In time for the qualifiers the track had dried up but it was left pretty slippery. The finals then were a pretty tight affair between Joonas Hyvärinen, Aleksi Wilkman and Sami Suokas. After the triple mains Joonas took the win from Aleksi 2nd while Sami came in 3rd just one point behind the winner. Nevertheless the 3rd place was enough for Sami to take the overall championship just one point ahead of Ari Koski. Ilari Lamminsivu rounded out the overall top 3 result.
