Neste Rally Finland 2016

[Mintexmemory]

Worked on my Friday Itinerary (no stranger to long days, Sardinia last year had a 21 hour day!)
Mokkipera
Surkee
Aanekoski
Jukojarvi
Harju
If you follow the route on rally-maps.com we intend to reach Mokkipera via the road that joins the stage at 6.83km from the start (direction Nyrola). Does anyone know of good spectator point near there?
Same question for Surkee - approaching stage via road that joins at 5.2km from start.
Now the planning is underway I'm getting really excited (second childhood approaching maybe?!)

I don't have much local knowledge but I would say if you find yourself in a good place on Jukojarvi I would not sacrifice that to dash over to Harju. Likely by the time you get there the place will be packed out. There are thousands of people in that stage and no one is really seeing all that much. I got there fairly close to first car two years ago and ran around the whole place trying to find a decent view. It's much better on TV.

And if you have seen SS Harju already on Thursday, there's no rush for it on Friday. Unless you want to maximize number of visited stages.

Doesn't look like there were any last minute surprises. Certainly not that have been published. Pedder and Folb were late additions yesterday afternoon (I was keeping a fairly close eye on it).

I'm not sure this can be claimed as the official list just yet - even though it most likely is?

It's official in terms that it's been updated by the organisers. First draft of the entry list will be published on Friday and I think the last minute surprises will be there if they come.

Sorry to say that one part of WRC history will be cut this year. After participating 1000 Lakes/Rally Finland for 30 consecutive years (once as a co-driver), Fabrizio de Sanctis will not start the event this year. However, I believe his record will hold for a long, long time.

There is no Henning yet,
99,9% sure he is coming...
Some RC2 drivers also missing, I believe
Probably final list with numbers after Rally Poland

Also few drivers missing from JWRC...
