Kimi Räikkönen driving a Citroën C4 WRC at the 2010 event.

Arctic Rally, currently Arctic Lapland Rally and also known as Tunturiralli, is an annual rally competition held on ice- and snow-covered roads in Rovaniemi, Lapland, Finland. It has been organized continuously since 1966. The rally is currently only part of the Finnish Rally Championship, having previously been a round of the European Rally Championship until 2004 and the FIA Cup for Rally Drivers in 1977 and 1978.[1]

The rally has been won by five World Rally Champions: Marcus Grönholm, Tommi Mäkinen, Hannu Mikkola, Timo Salonen and Ari Vatanen.[2] In recent years, it has attracted competitors from circuit racing. The 2009 entry list included four current or former Formula One drivers; JJ Lehto finished ninth on his tenth Arctic Rally, Kimi Räikkönen 13th on his first-ever rally competition, Mika Häkkinen 19th on his fourth outing in the event while a gearbox failure ended Mika Salo's third Arctic Rally. Most recently, in January 2019, Valtteri Bottas finished fifth overall in the rally.
