Group F is Finnish solution to overcrowding in Mental Health facilities.
If a person is insane but not violent to others they give them the option to be in a rubber room or to drive F-Cup cars.
Since its dark and frozen 8 1/2 months of the year in Finland, many people drink a lot and go insane as a result, so F-cup is FULL of hundreds of very fast drivers in 2wd, non turbo cars driving Route Book only events, and driving at speeds that would for sure these days get you well into top 20 WRC stage times.
They are simply FAST.
There was a thread last year where Dani Sordo entered an event in WRC car, Toni Gardemeister was there in his GpF car---a 6 cyl BMW and his stage times in his rwd 2wd car were closer gap to Sordo than when he drive his WRC Suzuki.
And he was not running away from everybody else in the class.
It is really exciting to watch---search F-cup ralli on You Tube and have a beer handy, hours of fun-----particularly in comparison to the restricted heavy GpN farting elephants who daren't ever get sideways.
Here: (and note the Finns are cheering before the red car has finished rolling!)

In short this is the where nearly all the famous Finns thru the ages learned and honed their craft.
