    It's also possible the team has tested on the stage in the previous years so they could have footage of their own.

    For example Tänak tested this year on the small road part of Ouninpohja that was not included in the rally, but it's rumored to be included next year.

    As someone who does that race every year I'd love to see Seb give it a crack in a few years.
    Would love to see him have a crack at it; I'm disappointed Loeb hasn't been back since his 2nd place in the Pescarolo in 2006, behind the Audi R10 TDi.....I've always thought he's more suited to GT/Endurance racing than short WTCC, WRX racing were contact is almost expected.

    Is there a better sound than that of Porsche engined Flat-6 ???

    Mahonen was appointed vice president of WRC rally commission; Carlos Barbosa remains president. Still no news on Mahonen’s successor as FIA rally director?

    Disappointing to hear that Mahonen is still involved in any capacity.

    Carlos Barbosa is Portuguese auto club (ACP) president. ACP is Rally de Portugal organizer and it was under Barbosa leadership that RdP returned to WRC. He was implicated in ’17 WRC cars rules as WRC commission president and in some other reg changes but I doubt he will support minority proposals, like Mahonen’s sprint stages rally format.

    For the nth time, Mahonen never said we should have shorter rallies, he said we should have shorter stages.

    BTW I happened to stumble upon a comment in a closed Finnish rally facebook group where a professional co-driver (many wrc teams) said the exact same proposition to have 10 km stages for more media coverage. The comment was posted in 2015. Maybe it's not even Mahonen's own idea?

    EDIT: Rally Finland 2017 stage average length is 12,6 km, that's close enough.
