In Sport 2000 last year's runner up Pasi Lähteenmäki snapped pole ahead of reigning champion Olli Haapalainen. It might be that these guys are going to battle it out again this season as well. Tomorrow's races should be interesting.

Formula 3, despite of being a national championship, didn't have Finnish colours up front. It was an Italian driver Andrea Bellichi, who completely dominated the day and drove from pole to victory. His team mate Russian Alexey Pavlovskiy completed a one-two finish for the Russian Lukoil Team, who decided to take part to the Finnish championship. And it seems the team are not going to be an also-run. Third place went for 2001 champion Jari Koivisto.

In Formula Ford Miikka Honkanen took victory. And in Honda Challenge the top step of the podium went for Mikko Heinonen.

Racing Images will be heading to Alastaro for tomorrow in Sunday. We will have a more comprehensive race report (also in Finnish) tomorrow evening and the photos available in a couple of days.
