Mikkelsen before SD:



Photo by @RalliSM, they most propably update their Twitter account frequently this year.

Also, how many other rallying events have the following in their regulations:

All competitors must carry in their rally cars warm winter clothes, shoes, gloves and hat for both drivers to be used in case of retirement. Driver/co-driver must carry a switched on mobile phone in case of possible accidents. Number of this mobile must be given to the rally office before the start. Each car must also carry one snow shovel, first aid kit and two reflective triangles, which must be used to warn following competitors in case of a road blockage.

At least they've seemed to dropped the knife to use for letting blood out of hit reindeers as a mandatory equipment...
