Rauno Aaltonen’s Accidental Shortcut During Monte

"If you ever get a chance to talk with Mini rally champion Rauno Aaltonen, definitely do so. He’s a wealth of driving knowledge and terrific company. Recently, Rauno sat down with Sympatico’s Matt Bubbers and recounted one hell of a story about a snowy race course, an accidental shortcut and winning the stage by only five seconds"
