Jarno & Soili Saarinen is the series set in the life and tragic death of the Finnish pilot Jarno Saarinen. This series, made up of six episodes and produced in Finland, will premiere on May 16, coinciding with the tragic fatal accident in the great curve of the mythical Monza transalpine route. Let us remember that, in this unfortunate historical moment that occurred shortly after the start of the 250 cc race, a dramatic collision cost the lives of Saarinen and to Italian Renzo Pasolini.
The good news is that, Soili Karmewho collaborated in the production of the series, has stated: “We are negotiating with several platforms to reach all countries”.
