It’s the same. But it’s very different.
I’ve waited years to visit Jyväskylä, to see Paviljonki and maybe even take a wander down the famous walking street. Last week, I finally did just that.
Wait, what?
OK, I need to add some context here. I have, of course, seen central Finland in its summer colors for years. It’s the opposite end of the year I was keen to gain a first view of. Year-round Jyväskylä life is something that’s been talked about more than ever in the service park since Toyota’s return to the WRC – out of a base in the suburbs of the city – in 2017.
