Esapekka Lappi and Enni Mälkönen will compete together in the rally SM series in the season starting.
Esapekka Lappi drive in the rally SM series for a full season together with a karter Enni Mälkönen with. Lappi tells about it on Instagram.
Lappi and Mälkönen will already be seen participating in the Rovaniemi Artic Lapland Rally (former Tunturiralli) at the turn of January-February. Lapland drives a Skoda Fabian Rally2 car.
Lappi says on Instagram that the idea of driving the SM series first came to mind a couple of weeks ago.
– It was a pretty wild idea, but it started to feel really good when I got to taste it more. Calls have been made for the last couple of weeks and the end result is that we will drive the SM series in a Skoda with Enni, Lappi said in the video.
– See you in the fells, Mälkönen, on the other hand, cheered and thanked the partners.
Kartturi Enni Mälkönen is remembered Sami Pajarin as a former karttur. There was an uproar about the end of the duo’s collaboration last November, when Mälkönen was surprised by Parjar’s decision. Pajari admitted that he failed in informing.
World Series with Hyundai Lappi told Urheilu a couple of weeks ago that he probably won’t drive in the World Series next season. At that time, he thought it was possible that he would race in the Rally Championship series.
