My rally history does not need any introductions. I started rallying as a hobby in season 1993. Only few seasons after start my career was turned into profession. Nowadays I'm a a professional rally driver. I'm a Flying Finn, but I live in Monaco.
I started rallying in season 1993 at Kouvola rally with Opel Ascona. Three seasons and many successful rallyes later my hobby was turned into profession as I made a contract with Finnish rallying Godfather Timo Jouhki.
Rallyes in Finland, in Italy and WRC lead into a manufacturer seat with Seat. After season 1999 Seat retired WRC and I seeked success with Mitsubishi.
In season 2001 I made a four year deal with Skoda manufacturer team. I developed my skills and rallyed with Octavia WRC and Fabia WRC. For me the best rally season happened in season 2005 as I with my co-driver Jakke Honkasen we're rallying in Ford manufacturer team. Successful season was finished in 4th position in World Rally Championship series. However the success was not enough for Ford to renew contract with me. Therefore I was forced to step into a role of a private rally driver.
Season 2006 and 2007 went by rallying in selected WRC events. In 2008 I again faced new challenge with Suzuki SX4 World Rally Car. However after 17 WRC rounds the Japanise team retired WRC and I was again left without a seat.
In season 2009 Gardemeister was seen behind the steering wheel in selected international rallies and in season 2010 he shows his talent for forthcoming season 2011 World Rally Championship event.
