Espekka Lappi and Janne Ferm have collaborated throughout Lappi’s World Cup career.
Esapekka Lapin worked as a map reader for a long time Janne Ferm end the rally in the World Series. The World Rally Championship in Chile that ended yesterday was the last of his career.
Ferm, 44, tells the rally media about it In an interview with DirtFish. He was about to quit after last season, but Lappi was able to entice him to continue for one more season.
– I thought I’d just quit and it wouldn’t be a big deal, but everyone came to hug and say hello, so it’s been an emotional day, Ferm told the site.
Ferm has sat next to Lapland throughout Lapland’s World Cup career, 14 years. They won the Finnish World Rally Championship in 2017 and the Swedish Rally this year.
– It has been a privilege to be with him. He has supported me and I have supported him. I thank him from the bottom of my heart, Ferm said of Lapland.
Lapland, on the other hand, praised Fermi.
– First of all, I have to thank him for all these years. We were both beginners when we started. We have climbed up together and now it ends.
Although Ferm will retire in the World Series, he will drive in the Rally Legend in San Marino in October Heikki Kovalainen alongside.
Lapland’s future in the World Cup is shrouded in darkness. At the weekend in the rally in Chile, he had to stop.
