RALLY GUIDE 2 1.-3.10. Welcome to Secto Automotive Rally Finland 2021! Dear Rally Friends, We are getting closer to the start of the 70th edition of Rally Finland and the preparations are well underway to welcome you, this time, with great autumn vibes. We can’t think about this rally without thinking about its history as the first edition took place 70 years ago, in autumn as well, with a 1700-kilometre route stretching from Jyväskylä to Rovaniemi and back. This season, these two amazing cities are both hosting rounds of the World Rally Championship. You could see it as a coincidence, we see it as a beautiful opportunity to link everything together for this anniversary edition. We are delighted to welcome Secto Automotive on board for this milestone edition of Rally Finland as title sponsor, which brings a mixture of tradition and originality. Given the importance of the occasion, we will have the honor of watching some of our legendary Flying Finns driving their winning cars on the Harju stage before we follow the World Rally Championship drivers as they contest this challenging edition over a 300-kilometre route. It’s been significantly altered since the last Rally Finland in 2019 and includes several well-known stages. A few night stages will spice the things up while the city of Jyväskylä will host a stunning light show. To make this edition even more exceptional, we are very happy to welcome fans to the stages, while respecting scrupulously the COVID-19 guidelines, in order to create the incredible atmosphere that makes this event so special. What else could we wish for? A safe event, beautiful battles and great emotions. We know we can count on our organizing team, volunteers, rally teams and the fans to make this happen. Welcome to Secto Automotive Rally Finland! We are very much looking forward to seeing you all in Jyväskylä for this very special 70th edition! In the meantime, stay safe! Yours, Secto Automotive Rally Finland Organizing Team #RallyFinland 3 Rally Guide 2 - Contents 1. Welcome & Introduction 5 10.

Rally organisation will again do it’s best to show its own example improve the awareness of environmental responsibility and reduce its carbon footprint as a event manager. Our long- term work in improving our environmental impact can be seen as Secto Automotive Rally Finland achieved the 3-Star Level in 2017 within FIA Environmental Certification Framework. After the audition done on the event in 2019, the 3-Star Level accreditation of Secto Automotive Rally Finland has been renewed by the FIA for the next two years. Regarding the FIA Environmental Programme, evaluating and reducing the environmental impact of motorsport is playing an integral role. Based on the FIA´s recommendations the event organisation has improved the training of marshals, formal documentation and monitoring of the environmental performance. Secto Automotive Rally Finland has improved the monitoring of the event carbon footprint and waste management system and the organisation wants to be a good example in terms of environmental issues both nationally and internationally. Key elements for 2021 will be to put effort into increasing the environmental awareness not only in the organisation, motorsport clubs and stakeholders but also within spectators, partners and teams. Environmental issues, such as selecting eco-friendly products and local services, and reducing emissions are taken into consideration and uniquely identified with each partner company. To enhance environmental responsibility, Secto Automotive Rally Finland organisers will: • Promote the environmental awareness in all its communication • Comply with all relevant laws and regulations, including environmental requirements and FIA Environmental Certification Framework • Utilize help of environmental professionals in creating the event • Require environmental responsibility from its stakeholders, cooperative partners, motoring clubs and suppliers • Pay close attention to cooperating with all landowners, residents and road owners • Set environmental objectives and targets, and measure them • Concentrate on energy efficient and sustainable solutions, for example using renewable energy sources when possible • Reduce the number of documents printed on paper, preferring digital formats • Search for ways to optimize transportations and logistics to decrease emissions as much as possible: for example carpooling, public transportation and especially online meetings • Use hybrid cars as most of the organisational vehicles • When possible use renewable diesel for organisation cars and electric generators • Aim to decrease the amount of waste, promote a selective waste collection and recycle or re-use the waste as efficiently as possible • Make a thorough plan for emergency situations and implement it actively After the last WRC event in Jyväskylä, lot has happened related to the wider topic of Sustainability.
