Henri Toivonen, a highly talented Finnish rally driver, achieved notable success in the World Rally Championship. He secured his first victory at the 1980 Lombard RAC Rally and drove for renowned teams like Opel, Porsche, and Lancia. Despite a serious injury in 1985, he made a remarkable comeback and continued to excel in rallying. Tragically, his career was cut short when he lost his life in a fatal crash during the Tour de Corse rally in 1986, prompting significant changes in rally car regulations.
