Esko Keinänen and his co-driver Kai Nuortila took the title with a Peugeot 403.

In 1970, Group 2 was introduced with Timo Mäkinen taking the first title.

In the 1980s, Group A cars were allowed in Group 1, eventually replacing the older homologation entirely.

In addition to the usual classes, the Finnish Rally Championship for Ladies has been contested from 1971 to 1978 and from 1986 to 2000.
