    Only 1:21 between first cars on stage, IMO not enough time. I don’t know if you have been in NORF before but you have to take into account the driving between the stages, walking from the parking to the stage. If the parking is on the wayside, you maybe have to walk for several km. The worst case I’ve experienced was about 5 km of walking to stage and back. It was a nice start of the day.

    For example my friends and me are planning to go and watch stage 3 and 6 (Mökkiperä), first car on the second run at 12:43. The next stage we are planning to watch is stage 10 (Jukojärvi), first car at 17:29.

    IMO to be on safe side, you should have about 2-3 hours between when you leave the previous stage and the first car on the next stage. Are there any other opinions?

    I'm aware that this is very late to ask, but still...

    One more question, what's the easiest way of getting to/from Jyvaskela-Helsinki? If I go, I'll fly in to Helsinki. Is there train, bus or is it car rental?

    Hope someone knows..
    Have a look at this link.

    Car rental would be the easiest way to move around.

    Rule 1 of the forum, always accuse anyone who disagrees with you of bias.I would say that though.

    have my ferry from Tallin to Helsinki @ 10.30 on Thursday - just enough time to find a nice spot in one of the stages and put up my tent

    traveling to NORF in an Impreza is always fun, as all the kids by the roads are waving to you
