Maybe that's 'cos although he beat Hakkinen (who was driving in a differnt class anyway) he didn't do quite as well as JJ Lehto...

I like my cars the same way I like my women & my music, fast & loud.

Well, everything's relative. This was JJ's tenth Arctic Rally, so he has quite a bit of experience, and he's been known to do quite well. While for Kimi this was his first rally ever, Arctic or otherwise. He got better and better during the two days, and towards the end was matching and even beating JJ. On two stages he even posted the 4th fastest time. He was only about a minute behind JJ in the end. All the rally experts were impressed by his driving, including Tommi Mäkinen and Kimi's co-driver Kaj Lindström.
