OK I have to show off!

My company here in Finland is booming! And I am justifiably proud of it. Since we began with just myself and my wife in 2005. And now we have grown to Finland's second largest, one of only 2 National players in our industry, which is corporate language and culture training. We employ over 120 people nationwide. And are ranked in the top 4% of ALL growth companies in Finland!

So it goes without saying that my wife and I spend most of our hours working, true entrepreneurs.

But, it also gives us the chance for me to pursue hobbies like my beloved Mopar and for my wife and daughter to ride their horse.

But I have been keeping this next part secret for a while and now I am able to say that my company TekMiL, (tekmil.com) is the main sponsor for a Super car class Rally Cross team here in Finland!

The driver Janne Kanerva and team manager Jukka Suvisalmi (if you have seen my posts with the ice rally cars, these are Jukka's rally cars I am driving in) are both good friends of mine and this little Citroen has the following specs:

ex Kenneth Hansen Motorsport
weight 1200kg
engine Oreca
ECU ohjain Hestec
Dyno Testing Special Tuning Harinen
horse power +500 hp
torque +800 nm
gearbox Sadev sequential 6 speed
Diffs Xtrac
brakes Alcon
0-100km/h 2,3 s
rims Speedline
tyres Michelin/Avon

Janne finished 3rd last year. He was 2nd but got black flagged on some BS call by an official. It was a mistake but that's racing.

We have brand new Öhlins suspension this year, new steering and new block and gearbox.

Here is a picture from the last race last year (before we changed the car to my Company colors), My wife and I (note my MOPAR RACING shirt! LOL) are talking to the other main sponsor.

That's really cool! Congratulations on the success of your business as well as the sponsorship/partnership with the rally car!
 
Pretty neat Tek. Great to see someone following their passion and doing well at it, at the same time. Best wishes down the road.

Must be a fun car. I wish rally was bigger in America. I'd really like to see some GROUP B cars over here! Never seen any in person.
