Yet another early flying Finn has died. Kinnunen was first Finn in F1 in '74 but without much success. He drove Porsches in early seventies having much better results including Daytona 24H, Brands Hatch 1000 km and Monza 1000 km wins in 1970 together with Pedro Rodríguez on Wyer's Gulf 917K. He won Interserie in 1971 with AAW racing 917 Spyder and 1972-73 with 917-10. Many consider him to be best ever Finnish racer. He was 73.
