BP Ford Abu Dhabi's Mikko Hirvonen can't wait for the start of the second half of the season and he is going to go for gold on his home event, the Rally Finland.

"I can't wait to go there. I go to Finland for the first time as the championship leader and I definitely want to try and win it. It would be my first time [if I do win there]. Hopefully I can keep Sebastien behind and get more points than him. It will be fantastic," he continued.

As for the Festival of Speed, Mikko clearly enjoyed the whole experience and driving his Focus RS WRC on the rally stage and up the hill.

"It is really relaxed. We are doing some driving and having fun with the cars, signing some autographs and talking to people. It is really, really good. Okay, the car has not got gravel suspension, so we are just sliding around on the hill climb - but I am sure it is good fun for the spectators," he concluded.
