While Neste Rally Finland’s fast forest roads will remain silent next month, WRC stars will ensure there is plenty of virtual motorsport action on the famous gravel tracks to excite fans. But two eSports events will feature a quartet of WRC drivers aiming to show their sim driving skills are as hot as their abilities in the forests. The action will be broadcast on Thursday (30 July) at 20.00 CET on the WRC Facebook page here and YouTube channel here. Salo will also compete, along with other drivers and Finland’s leading WRC eSports competitors, including Trogen. Both competitions will be held on WRC 8, the official game of the FIA World Rally Championship. Highlights from the Jyväskylä event will be broadcast in Finland by Yle, while live coverage will be streamed on the WRC’s Facebook and YouTube channels.
