The NGK-sponsored M-Sport Ford World Rally Team’s Teemu Suninen and Jarmo Lehtinen were in the points at the Neste Rally Finland battling hard to secure 8th place.

Young Finnish driver Suninen gradually improved his pace at the fastest round in the FIA World Rally Championship in his EcoBoost-powered Ford Fiesta WRC, which is fitted with NGK spark plugs and NTK Lambda sensors and made it through all of the stages to safeguard M Sport’s unbroken record of consecutive points finishes.

Teemu Suninen said: “It’s always fun driving in Finland, but it’s been frustrating to look at the times this weekend. We know that we have the pace, but this wasn’t our weekend. We weren’t able to challenge for the top positions, and have some homework to do before the next one.”

Mark Hallam, Marketing Manager, NGK Spark Plugs said, “The M-Sport team battled hard throughout the rally and their determination paid off to enable them to continue their record of scoring points in every round of this year’s championship.”
