Last event of the series was run in Hyvinkää, 60 km to north from Helsinki. Track was in similiar shape as in yesteryears with an exception of large elevated corner on the right hand side. Friday's practice wasn't very active 'cause of wet weather.

On saturday, first practice was run with layout seen in the picture, but after the round drivers gathered up and vote was held for changes in layout. New layout was agreed and it didn't have this blind spot under the elevated corner (as seen in videos).

2WD and 4WD's practice race was run and young Karri Salmela took his first Finnish Championship by winning the 2WD class. Harri Kervola won the 4WD's practice race.

On sunday 4WD and 2WD's practice race was run. Defending champion Harri Kervola started to the 4WD race with good lead in series, in worst case 9th spot in the race would be needed for him to win the championship. Harri didn't give any changes in qualifyings to others and he TQ'd the class. In finals Harri managed to place in 4th after few unfortunate moves, but with the result he won second championship.
