A highly talented young Finnish rallycross driver who speaks plainly and aims to strengthen Finland’s motorsport reputation by becoming European Champion by 2027. Juha Rytkönen first appeared in the FIA World Rallycross Championship in 2020, finishing second in his home event. Results were less impressive the following year despite five appearances, but in 2024 he fulfilled one of his goals by winning the season finale in Turkey. Last season he opened with seventh place in Portugal and narrowly missed the podium in Sweden. He finished fifth both at Nyirád and at home in Kymiring, but skipped the Turkish double-header and ended the year seventh overall.
