Hi,

I'm also in the same boat as Supercotts & racerx1979. It's my first time attending Rally Finland I would also greatly appreciate any suggestions any of you have.

Does anyone have/know the itinerary for the Vetomies (National) Rally? I know that it uses the Harju stage on the Friday and the Saturday stages.

Ok. So are they quitting after 2017? To me every rally counts in your way to develop and to measure your standard. No team can stop doing that, even if they´re winning all the time. One day they will be catched up by others.

Sorry Per but You seem to live in some parallel universe. They do WRC2, their target is to win WRC2 and for sure they didn't get pre-season budget from the company for doing twice more events than WRC2 has. Just why?

And that they skip once Finland? So why is that a problem? The guys are whole year away from their families why can't they just take a break and enjoy some holidays when everything so far has been going better than good?

Sure, why not take a break when seasons best rally comes up.

Yes, Finnish car market is so huge that it's better to skip Germany or Poland. Sure.

I don't know for sure but I assume it might be cheaper to enter under a team which is already entered to the championship. We have seen these kind of "odd" entrants before for example in Rally GB last few years.
